If half of your class abilities isn't a significant investment in your book, then you just aren't thinking things through.And mandatory? Hardly. I've seen a couple dozen fighter characters built in the last year, and only two of them had Power Attack, and only a few more than that had Weapon Focus. Perhaps you've noticed all of the other feat choices out there: Combat Expertise, Improved Disarm, Improved Trip, and so on and so forth. Tying yourself to a single weapon, or tying yourself to a single combat style is often foolish.Increase their Constitution. Increase their Dexterity. You know, those abilities that help keep you from getting hit, or getting killed.Only in the bizarro universe where all fighters are built the same, and all fighters eschew the dozens of other options out there, many of which are more useful in combat.And was worse at it than the fighter, since he could only rage a limited number of times per day, and was brittle as an eggshell due to the incredible ease with which his opponents were able to hit him. A great way to get your character killed, quickly.Basically, your examples make no sense, and assume a bizarre and unseen similarity in fighter builds. Further, even if you assume that all fighters are built this way, then you are basically saying that half of a character's class abilities shouldn't result in their being able to do significant damage to their foes, which is a ridiculous position to take.</blockquote>
