[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 3812523, member: 704"] I think that some peole are missing the point I have been trying to make. My choice of subjects for the thread title does not help. But I want to be clear. I am not advocating that Fighters literally get a wish like ability. I am advocating that they get something equally powerful and impressive. This I agree with. I am not looking for a feat or martial ability that lets a fighter type make an arbitrary wish statement. I am looking for something comparable that would also fit with the general flavor of a fighter character. An ability that would allow a fighter to do some combination of the following is what I have in mind. - Become Indestructible for a short time - Attack rolls and Saving throws automatically succeed for X number of rounds - All damage rolls count as critical hits for X number of rounds - Every melee attack has the effect of a coup de grace for X number of rounds - Fighter can ignore all spells and psionic abilities if he wins an opposed 'caster' check based on his Bab for X number of rounds - Each attack roll with a melee weapon hits all threatened squares for X number of rounds (Think Iterative Whirl Wind attack) - Ignore all damage reduction and Hardness values for X number of rounds - Automatic success on all opposed rolls for X number of rounds - Fighter may make 3 standard actions per round for for X number of rounds These are the kinds of effects I am thinking of. Are they absurdly powerful? Hell yes, but then again, so is the Wish spell. Should a fighter get all of them at once from a single ability? I do not know. Thats why I started this thread.
