[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 7849045, member: 57112"] This. For some (I would argue many, given the general popularity of Fightes across all editions, not just in 4e) that's where the appeal of the Fighter lies. One of my favorite "Ask Red Mage" responses from the old 8-bit Theatre about what class he thought was best, and he of course answered Bard (because Bard is the Red Mage of D&D; or more accurately Red Mage is literally the Bard of Final Fantasy I, which that site/comic was based on) but that he usually ends up playing Fighters for the reasons he described as follows: DM: "You see a problem." Me: "I hit it until it's not a problem anymore." It turns out that many players actually prefer [I]fewer [/I]decision points; odd as it may seem to 4e stans (who are all about decision points for obvious reasons) and charopers (who take as their central axiom, wrongly in my opinion, that versatility is the absolute key to power). Again, it's different strokes for different folks. [/QUOTE]
