[QUOTE="DaveDash, post: 6554086, member: 6786202"] There is nothing stopping you making a Dex based Battlemaster Fighter with a background that gives him skills in stealth, sleight of hand, etc. You will never be ridiculously good like a Rogue or Bard, but you will be pretty good due to bounded accuracy, and hey, there are feats that will help (and you are not short of feats, being a Fighter). There is also always multi-classing, in fact Rogue/Fighter has good synergy. Then you can be a god in combat, and pretty decent at exploration. If you really care about social as well, you could probably pick up intimidate/persuasion (both Fighter class skills) and sacrifice say wisdom for charisma. And there you have it, a martial who is still godly in combat, but has options in the other pillars as well. The good thing about D&D 5e is the set the bar low with the default monsters and such, so you don't need to fully optimize on the party OR character level to survive (or even have fun).
