[QUOTE="Raith5, post: 6656638, member: 56051"] For me the fighter and rouge are powerful and effective in combat in terms of damage, but I dont like the flavour of the fighter (for want of a better term) and dont find them as interesting compared to the other martial characters such as the ranger and paladin. In fact the fighter and rouge just seem to chuck damage around (except the rouge has the added bonus of really well defined exploration/social skills). While I think the problem is one of the fighter being interesting rather than effective, the think the problem is not in the class itself. Rather I think weapons in 5e are really boring and wish there was some way to make a fighter with sword a radically different feel to a fighter with a spear. I also think the comparison point for many is the previous edition. 4e set a really high bar for what martial PCs can do. All in all, while 4e had a range of problems for lots of people, interesting martial characters was not one of them IME. [/QUOTE]
