We don't talk about Pun-Pun
Which just makes anyone else who is supposed to be a melee combat class look pretty pathetic at a certain point. Don't get me wrong- I want Fighters to be better at Fightering, but if they go from A choice of class for the role to the choice of class for the role, that might be a problem.Or go whole hog and give martials “expertise” in AC, attacks, and damage. They gain prof bonus to all three, double in the case of attacks. They are supposed to be experts in combat after all.
Unless we're willing to turn Paladins and Rangers back into subclasses of the Fighter, of course.
