[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9475630, member: 20564"] Okay, a choice, but not one required by the choice of subclass. Okay, so they made it so that you couldn't cherry pick it's features for other types of spellcasters. In general, that's a fantastic move and I approve. "Most fighters dump intelligence" is not really germane to the conversation. First, we're not talking about [I]most[/I] fighters, we're talking about about a fighter subclass that specifically uses Int. Second, you are putting at least a 13 into CHR to allow multiclassing, so it seems it's perfectly viable to put points into it. Because they are very different classes, doing different things? One is a full caster with some martial ability but not enough to keep up with dedicated martial characters, and the other is a full martial on a resilient chassis with some minor casting. [I]I understand that you haven't actually played your "favorite fighter subclass" ever[/I] -- you've just used it to pick up features for other casters. But if you play it, you would be able to understand how it differs from a valor bard. That you can't understand it is why you don't value the class and subclass, and why you are saying that you hate it -- not because of what it does, but because it actually enforces staying on theme and that's never what you did with it.
