[QUOTE="ninjayeti, post: 6675426, member: 6789120"] I totally agree that "champion" and "battlemaster" do not convey the sense of what a character is about the way some other subclass names do. But point me to the rule that says you can only describe your character using proper game terminology. Does the lack of an official "Knight" subclass prohibit me from describing my fighter as a knight ... or an archer ... or a tank ... or a duelist, or anything else that describes my character more specifically than battlemaster? Well if there was a fighter subclass that made you the greatest swordsman in the world at 3rd level it would be pretty OP. Everyone in the party would probably play that subclass which would result in some funny party conflicts. "No Sir Prentis, you are not the greatest swordsman in the world. I know this for a fact because... [I][B]I[/B][/I] am the greatest swordsman in the world!" Seriously, mechanics only go so far too - all the rules options in the world aren't going to make a you Inigo Montoya at 3rd level. [/QUOTE]
