One of the things about D&D is you can pick a class with varied difficulty and complexity in play. If you're not big on dealing with spells or abilities, the Champion Fighter is for you. You attack on your turn, and only have to decide when you want to Action Surge or use your Second Wind.Now we played a 5E game recently where the Champion never used either of those abilities, and they were still sort of fine. The rest of the group did the heavy lifting, and we reminded them about their second attack when they got it. They served as an HP sponge and occasionally defeated a monster. The player had fun.5E is a game where you get out what you're willing to put into a game. But I think it does a decent job of letting a fighter just roll some dice on their turn. And if the player is able to engage, they will be happy too. The rest of the group just has to accommodate it.But yes, you're right: if you can't engage with it, I know that I wouldn't have a good time at all, and it can be frustrating for the rest of the group.</blockquote>
