The fighter gets action surge (1 extra attack action every short rest), but the ranger can have +1d6 damage 1/turn on every attack they make. Both paladin and ranger can make use of hunters mark (+1d6 damage on every attack they make) as well. Over the course of the day, those extra d6s add up to a bit more than the fighter gets from an action surge once per rest. Action surge is good for burst though.Sure, at level 11+ the fighter deals better damage, but for the vast majority of players over the vast majority of the game, paladin and ranger will straight up deal more damage per round.And of course, let us not forget that most games don't actually support the suggested playstyle of 5-8 encounters per day, and typically have only 3-5, further rewarding the players who chose daily recharge abilities over short rest recharge abilities.</blockquote>
