[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8992977, member: 6802951"] How would giving fighters "exclusive martial abilities that surpass the capabilities of other classes" prevent those other classes contributing in a meaningful fashion? Just because the Fighter is better at tripping, or manoeuvring through battle, or inflicting bleeding attacks, that doesn't prevent the other classes from using their abilities to contribute just as well as they can do so currently. You claimed that you "don't want them having extraordinary martial powers other classes don't get", but this seems to be based on an unfounded assumption that you are making that any ability that Fighters get exclusively will be overpowered. No one other than yourself is suggesting this, so why are you basing your arguments against it? Fun for whom? If every member of an adventuring party is contributing an average of 28% towards the success of the team, but the fighter is only contributing 16%, then bring the fighter up to 25% contribution is going to weaken the contributions of the other members from 28% to 25%. I can't imagine any of the group being so selfish as to object to that however. Smites let Paladins keep up with fighters for damage in general, and the base Fighter doesn't get to use any more fighting styles than the Paladins do either. [/QUOTE]
