But again, it really depends on the setting and the tone of the game or story. There is a default assumption of setting baked into the game, but that doesn't mean it's universal. If you just look back at the examples of characters that could be or are Fighters cited in this thread....the list is pretty encompassing. Conan, John McClane, Batman, Jaime Lannister, Riverwind, Jean Tannin, Croaker, Hector, Athos....and so on. Different degrees of ability based on what makes sense for the world/setting/genre. There's no reason to claim that a Fighter "must" have superhuman or supernatural abilities, or that a Fighter must not have them. There's room for a myriad of interpretations. Again, this is the strength of the class. Most other classes in the game, with the exception of the Rogue, are far more niche. This tends to limit them to some extent...to pigeonhole them a bit. Speaking generally of course...there are always exceptions...but show me a list of fictional Wizards, and then tell me the characters in it are as varied as the Fighters. Especially once you also separate Sorcerors and Warlocks. Then, the other classes get even more niche...Clerics? Paladins? Bards? Each has maybe a handful of fictional representatives.What makes a Wizard cool is the spells. What makes a Paladin cool is the smiting. What makes a Fighter cool? It's up to the player.</blockquote>
