[QUOTE="SmokingSkull, post: 7099306, member: 6791384"] I will say that I understand what Mr. Mearls was talking about and I agree. More to the point Champion and Battlemaster are interchangeable as far as descriptive/evocative titles go. I say this because the character I'm playing currently has all the traits of what would be generally a "typical" Battlemaster: Is a student of war, cultured and even taught one of the members of the party how to fight. The thing is...he's a Champion mechanically, the Soldier background is what gave him more or less the other stuff I mentioned, so in that respect neither Battlemaster nor Champion tell the tale. And another thing he's also part Barbarian, Totem Warrior, which represents his more savage side. However he is way more Fighter than Barbarian, cause there is no raging/Barbarian like subclass for the Fighter so I had to tell this story through multiclassing. My ultimate point is neither Champion nor Battlemaster really bring to mind a discernible archetype on their own unlike other subclasses. [/QUOTE]
