I agree that the stats need balance, but I'd rather add more weapons that use str, and/or find a secondary use for str that is optional for light fighters but useful for all weapon users, and have things like the handaxe be finesse. It's just weird to me that it isn't finesse. I want the game to have a good tripping property, but IMO the game first needs good rules to tripping, throwing, and disarming outside of the fighter. For me, Disarm: When you hit a creature with aweapon attack, try to disarm it with a bonus action,forcing it to drop one itemof your choice that it's holding. The target must make aStrength or Dexterity saving throw (it’s choice), On a failed save, it drops the object you choose, Theobject lands at its feet. You may make a Sleight of Hand Checkif the attempt succeeds. If it is higher than the save result of the creature you disarmed +5, the item  instead ends up in your hard, or in a spot within 5ft of you. You must have a free hand to take possession of the itemTrip: When you hit a creature with a weaponattack, you can use a bonus action to attemptto knock the target down, if the target is Large orsmaller, it must make a Strength or Dexterity savingthrow (it’s choice), On afailed save, you knock the target prone. If you areLarge, you can use this against a creature ofsize Huge or smaller.And then I'd make the Grappling property boost grappling and Tripping, and also include a Disarming property. Maybe have a Defensive property that boosts defense and Disarming, and a Grappling property that boosts Grappling and Tripping. </blockquote>
