[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 8065138, member: 6871653"] I actually agree with you. Every classes ''fights''. D&D is a combat game with fancy bits. I'm okay with that; all classes are combatant with fancy ribbons. So, do we need a class that only fights and do not have said fancy ribbons for the sake of ''simplicity''? I personally dont think so. My actual favorite take on the fighter, and beware its a hot one, is to have the fighter the specialist of enhancing himself with magic items. The fighter is mundane, no doubt about it. He needs magical stuff do deal with the magic of the setting and to stay relevant next to his spellcasters companions. A fighter without any magical macguffin will never be close to achieving the versatility and narrative control of spellcasters. So I say: embrace the Christmas three, embrace the old-school narrative of the adventurer delving dungeons and facing monsters to find magical treasure to be equipped enough to take on another more difficult delve! Embrace the idea that the fighter is the ultimate master of equipment! BUT, dont let the magic item distribution in the hand of the DM: classes should be in the hands to their players. So...a martial take on the artificer: a warrior that can get its hand on a bunch of magical gadgets to enhance himself. The ultimate Batman class, a mundane fighter boosted by its incredible equipment and wits. By adventuring, this warrior finds or creates magic consumables, magic items, generates blessings and charms, acquires boons! Arthur is a fighter with a magical sword. Achilles is a fighter with a blessing Robin Hood is ....well he's a rogue :P I'll probably try my hand at it later tonight of tomorrow, stay tuned. :P and thanks a lot for you comments, as always.
