Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9194095" data-attributes="member: 7030563">That is just false.RAW, A fighter chooses a subclass first at level 3 and can change to another subclass at level 7, 10, 15 and 18.  When they change, they replace all the abilities with abilities from the new subclass (TCE page 8).Not only can a fighter change a subclass, an optimizer should change subclasses in a 1-20 campaign, because the subclasses that are most powerful at level 3 are not generally still the most powerful at level 18 and powerful options in one part of the campaign are not necessarily powerful in another part of the campaign.So yes for example, you can take a ranged type build, play a Battlemaster or Rune Knight with Archery fighting style and getting sharpshooter, then switch fighting styles to superior technique at 6 just in time to switch to Arcane Archer at 7 when curving shot comes on so you no longer need Archery. Then at level 15 when you pretty much hit everything anyway and your grasping arrow is less potent, you can switch to Eldritch Knight just in time to grab 10 spells, including counterspell, and a free teleport with your action surge.  Level 16 grab Fey Touched and Hex so you can add a d6 to all your damage and your enemies have disadvantage on skills ...... and you can cast it with your newly acquired Fighter spell slots.   This is all RAW!A wizard has many choices to cover up and mitigate a poor spell choice.  A fighter can completely undo and replace a poor subclass choice but can only do that at certain (several) points in a 1-20 campaign.</blockquote>
