[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8315277, member: 7030563"] But it is not true. A high intelligence fighter does play significantly different than a low intelligence fighter, particularly if you make your optional choices (ASIs, feats, subclass features) to lean into that. I would add that you can choose your race and background to lean into this as well. Is he worse at swinging a sword or slightly worse at withstanding a blow - yes, but that is only a problem if your concept of a fighter character is so narrow that these things have to be top tier and the best of the best or else "the whole character sucks". The difference in the mechanics is both the different features you would choose and in the higher abilities you bring to the table compared to the stereotypical brute. Also the Eldritch Knight subclass is actually framed around the idea of having at least a decent intelligence. [/QUOTE]
