[QUOTE="Iosue, post: 7098176, member: 6680772"] The thing I love about the fighter is the versatility. I can go full defender: pump STR and CON, wear plate and shield, wade in, and tie up the enemy. I can go full striker: great weapon fighting style, great sword, and hit hard and often. I can go the melee route, or I can go ranged. I can go with STR, or I can pump DEX and go ranged/dual-wielding. I can even be a jack-of-all trades, and do a little of everything. I can max out two stats, or I can go with feats up the wazoo. I can go full-mundane or add some magic with the Eldritch Knight. I can go simple with the champion, or complex with the battlemaster. I can use Action Surge to double my attacks, or I can use it to increase my movement, or do some other action. I suppose you could say that by doing everything well, the fighter doesn't dominate in any one area. The Paladin can spike more melee damage. The Ranger or the Rogue might spike more ranged damage. A raging Barbarian might be a more durable defender. But I'm willing to give up some of that extreme specialization for the fighter's versatility, and I see it as a feature, not a bug. [/QUOTE]
