[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7637732, member: 6987520"] Maybe a new fighting style isn't the solution, but I want some way to make an INT-based fighter than can (at least potentially) have enough advantages compared to STR- or DEX-based types that it is attractive as an option. So something like a build of STR: 10, DEX: 12, CON: 12, INT: 16, WIS: 10: CHA: 12 would be fun to play, mostly as a battler, instead of as a caster. After all, such a person is basically average physically, but should still make a decent fighter even without huge bonuses from ability scores in the physical stats. Such a character is not strong enough to wear the heavier armors, nor dexterous enough to be great in lighter armors, would have little to no attack or damage modifier, yet could easily represent your typical foot soldier (well, a very smart one, anyway...). A fighting style or feat or something would do it, but what exactly...? A fighting styles would have to be in the same spirit as the current ones, so you can't really make it INT-based. A feat could, but then anyone could take it, but maybe that isn't a bad thing? Sigh... [/QUOTE]
