And that's not a story I like. Nor do I like to reboot my character's motivation. If you mean that it's "good enough for you", I wouldn't argue with that. It's not good enough for me, much less perfect and coherent, and what is interesting and challenging to you seems contrived to me.Maybe, except that the fiction of a fearsome fighter's unrelenting assault *always* causing damage now doesn't apply to either fighter. The high level fighter still doesn't cause morale/fatigue damage, and the low level fighter hits on a miss due to a sort of opportunity attack, not an unrelenting assault (BTW, an AoO-style attackw ould arguably would apply equally or more to a finess fighter than a heavy weapon fighter, except that it wouldn't because only Great Weapon fighting causes hit on a miss). These kinds of on-the-fly rationalizations with their questionable repercussions and counterarguments are very unsatisfying to me.</blockquote>
