[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5979182, member: 9037"] I don't usually play fighters mainly because while I think they are awesome in smacking things around they don't have any skills for outside of combat. I find that limiting. Looking at my favorite characters one was a fighter I brought her in I think at 11 level. I had rolled really well so I was able to have really nice stats in STR CON INT CHR. I took two levels of the noble from Rokugan which gave me some nice social classe skills and since we were playing Kalamar I took a feat that allowed me to pick a certain amount of cross class skills as class skills. So she was of royal birth I had knowledge of nobility and royalty , diplomacy, bluff and sense motive. I got pluses using those skills in social situations. I also took knowledge history. I don't think she would have been as much fun to play if I had been stuck with a 32 point buy and starting at first level. Mostly when I play I prefer sorcerers, paladins and bards. I never worry that I am not balanced or that some one is more powerful than I am. I care that my character has some way to contribute to the things I enjoy the most which are the role playing, puzzle solving and political intrigue. Since I prefer those more than combat I play characters that can be good at those things. I would love to see fighters given more options but not just to be better at killing things but in the other stuff as well. When I DM I only worry about balance if I have a situation where I have a major powergamer at the table who refuses to share the spotlight. [/QUOTE]
