With 4e the Fighter actually became possibly the most effective class in the game. This could probably be argued, but I doubt many people would argue that the fighter isn't right up their at the cusp of classes in 4e.If you think of D&D from its origins ... the fighter is part of that unquestionably.There is just  NO WAY in hell that the designers are going to leave the Fighter class out of the game. It is the epitome of a mercenary/soldier style of fighting that is neither a barbarian, a ranger or a monk. They are designing the game to be inclusive. If the are going to exclude anything, it's certainly not going to be something which has been at the heart of the game since the start and remained so throughout its history.Just stop and think for a moment the backlash of nerdrage it would provoke if they even mentioned they were considering an idea like this.Definitively BAD idea.</blockquote>
