Shounen and seinen anime on the realistic end even do it  And let's not get into realistic nonsuper Hollywood* action movies.The overloading of archetypes and the obsession with base simplicity really reinforced the "load it up with magic items to be interesting"-itis.Quite frankly, every martial class by a rule really should have at least 2 additions on their sheet every non-ASI nonSubclass level besides proficiency modifier, hit points, and "+x equal to your level" features. Humans over 10 years old should be able to handle learning or increasing 2 things each level up. Rogue has 3 at level 1 and 1 at level 2 so it's a wash if you include SA increases on off levels. Barbarian manages to do it until level 13. Fighter fails at level 2.*Just realized how fun a Bollywood Action movie fighter subclass would be.</blockquote>
