[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6722706, member: 996"] Just non-caster or not supernatural at all? If the former, and you don't mind the 'orientalist' (thank you [MENTION=82132]Cyber-Dave[/MENTION]) flavor, the Monk could do it for you. Not as complex a melee type as the 13A Monk, but not just a [s]beatstick[/s] - no, I'm not using that word - not simplistic. Otherwise, yeah, we could use another class or three like that. There aren't even a lot of candidates from past editions. The Warlord's been mentioned. The 4e fighter had so many maneuvers (the Battlemaster barely scratches the surface), and the 3.5 fighter was so customizable, you could probably devote a whole class to doing each of them justice. The 3.5 Knight didn't do that much, the 3.5 Scout was pretty cool but a skirmisher, don't know if that'd fit your idea of 'melee type,' Bo9S shaded into supernatural-but-not-casting... oh, 1e had the Cavalier - in 5e 'just' a Noble Fighter (Champion, probably, so no help there). If they go through with PrCs, that opens up some space... Tactical Soldier, Orders of Knighthood, Military Commanders, &c... [/QUOTE]
