Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imaro" data-source="post: 6508402" data-attributes="member: 48965">Given the fact that we've been talking about the 4e core books and it is common knowledge that the 5e basic PDF was designed to give the simplest and easiest implementation of the classes it contained why... are you using the 5e fighter in the basic PDF would be my main question?  But pushing that to the side...You realize in 5e as long as you have movement left you can continuously move even after you've attacked... so a 5th level basic PDF Fighter can move into position to attack 2 enemies, finish out his movement next to a different enemy and use action surge on that enemy (or attack one of the original enemies again)  That's 3 attacks in one round on 3 different foes, sounds like AoE attack to me.  Now in the actual players handbook there is the Battlemaster who can take sweeping attack on top of the 3 attacks here to have the possibility of catching 4 foes in one round at 5th level... and the Eldritch Knight has the option of taking AoE spells or attacking as was demonstrated with the basic fighter above.  Also note these extra attacks (and superiority dice) continue to increase as the Fighter levels up.  Now granted it's not a select-able one-click and hit power, it takes some tactical thinking and effort to pull off but I actually prefer it that way and it is very much possible.EDIT: As too healing [MENTION=6688277]Sadras[/MENTION] covered multi-classing, but there is also the option of feats if they are used from the PHB... such as Inspiring Leader if you want to go a non-magical route or Magic Intitate if you want to go the magical route.</blockquote>
