[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7097441, member: 2525"] My answer to this issue is pretty simple: If you're playing with feats, the Fighter gets more feats than all those other classes you mention. [MENTION=6716779]Zardnaar[/MENTION] is well aware of how powerful some feats can be. The fighter comes on-line too late? He's getting DOUBLE the number of feats than Paladin, Ranger and Barbarian at 6th level. If Great Weapon Master, Polearm Master, and Sharpshooter are so darn powerful when it comes to "fighting" ability, then the Fighter gets those faster than those other classes. If the Sentinel feat or the Shield Master feat (for grappling) is an effective means of playing the Battlefield Control or Defender role, then the fighter can get there faster than those other classes. And if fighter-types have a weakness in Wisdom checks, then the Fighter can get to the Resilient feat quicker than those other classes. Feats are more powerful than most class abilities, and fighters get there faster. Now if I were in charge of adding things to the game, I'd add some more Fighting Styles unique to fighters. Add in a shove as a bonus action as a Fighting Style. Add an extra attack if you drop a foe as a Fighting Style. Add a retaliatory attack as a reaction as a Fighting Style. You can add those Fighting Styles without errata, and it would help the class for sure. [/QUOTE]
