The fighter is a relic. Designed when magic users had 1 spell per day and clerics didn't get a spell until 2nd level. Magic (and by magic, I mean every supernatural source of power be it ki, spells, psionics, incarnum, planar energy, etc) is in every part of the game now. Except fighters. They must never touch any sort of magic even once (subclasses excluded) because the guy who likes playing Boromir will be sad and meanwhile those who want fighters out of myth and legend ALSO don't want supernatural explanations why they are mythical despite the fact every mythic hero in legend has a reason they are beyond mortal limitations (divine blessing, bloodline, magical artifacts, etc). So you get this nebulous zone where the fighter is tugged back and forth between doing mundane things nonmagically and doing supernatural things nonmagically when the obvious problem is "nonmagically". Once you remove that and allow the fighter the same crazy origins that fuel monks, bards, barbarians and every other class (and yes, the rogue should get in on the fun too and get magical toys. He pretty much does). I want fighters tapping into the power of the Multiverse. Fighters with draconic blood or the blessing of the Gods. Fighters who use psionics, chakras, or chaos magic. I want fighters a cut above common soldiers and guards as a wizard is to a scribe or a rogue is to a common pickpocket. Remove. The. Notion. The. Fighter. Is. Non. Magical. You solve all the problems with the fighter by giving him the tools and the story needed to compete with the other classes.</blockquote>
