[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 6619600, member: 2629"] The most significant factors in which is a better power set is outside your control ... it is in the hands of the DM. Specifically, the value proposition is dictated primarily by rest frequency and encounter design. If your DM sets up challenges so that you are taking short rests between every combat and you're facing hordes of weak foes in battles that do not last long, the Battlemaster is a much better option. However, if you find yourself in a game where you have 3 or 4 battles between short rests, the battles are long, and the enemies are not the type to fall down deal when you get a non-crit... Champion can be a very strong option. Also, Champion is better for a character that gets more attacks (dual weapon, scimitar of speed, etc...) Rather than one that is going to get fewer attacks (A fighter that is going to multiclass and not get to 3 or 4 attacks). Both are fine. Battlemaster is more active. As fighters tend to be fairly one - note classes, a lot of people prefer the options found in Battlemastyer for the variety they add to combats. [/QUOTE]
