This is designed for my no-Feats game, but might be worth considering even in a Feats game,
especially one with fewer than 6-8 fights/day.
"Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
One of the level 8, 12, 14 or 16 Ability Score improvements may be replaced by an additional
use of Action Surge (max 2 surges).
The level 19 ASI may be replaced by an additional Fighting Style."
Main effect is that level 8-16 Fighters may surge twice per short rest, level 17 Fighters 3 times, and the level 19 boost is less underwhelming than +2 to a minor stat.
