Getting down to the wire Gary is 19th. We've got 16 days left in the year.
IMO the other classes needed no strengthening. The fighter was played a lot, and the class had turned out to be the weakest of the lot, lacking anything potent to make it unique. So weapons specialization came into the rules.
Yuletide best,
