However, I do not think that having daily or encounter powers that allow me to make a big attack once and then you forget how to do it is the right way to go.  Instead you should have some abilities that you can use all day long and then have a resource that you can use to make them more effective a number of times per rest.Instead of the following:Brute StrikeFighter attack 1Daily ✦ Martial, Reliable, WeaponStandard ActionMelee WeaponTarget: one creatureAttack: Strength vs. ACHit: "3[W] + Strength modifier damage."Spinning SweepFighter attack 1Encounter ✦ Martial, WeaponStandard ActionMelee WeaponTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. ACHit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage, and you knock the target prone.No OpeningFighter Utility 2Encounter ✦ MartialImmediate InterruptPersonalTrigger: An enemy attacks you and has combat advantage against you.Effect: You don't grant combat advantage for the attack.Boundless EnduranceFighter Utility 2Daily ✦ Healing, Martial, StanceMinor ActionPersonalEffect: "You assume the Boundless Endurance stance. Until the stance ends, you have regeneration while you are bloodied. The regeneration equals 2 + your Constitution modifier."We have something like this:VigorYou have a pool of Vigor equal to your Con modifier plus your level.You can use a number of points of Vigor per turn equal to your Proficiency Bonus.When you hit with an attack, you can use a point of Vigor to increase the damage by 1[W].You regain a number of points of Vigor equal to your Con modifier when you complete a Short Rest or all points of Vigor when you take a Long Rest.Spinning SweepWhenever you hit with a melee attack you can reduce the damage by 1[W] to knock the target prone.No OpeningAs a reaction, whenever an enemy attacks you with advantage you can use a point of Vigor to give Disadvantage to the roll.Boundless EnduranceAs a bonus action on your turn, you can spend 2 points of Vigor to gain Boundless Endurance for 1 minute.  While under this effect, you regain hit points equal to 2 + your Constitution modifier at the start of your turn if you have no more than half of your hit points left.Regarding high level Fighter maneuvers, I think the best way to model that would be a choice at 11th level where you get to decide if you want to be a Demi God and gain new maneuvers where you can create shockwaves with your attacks or if you instead want to be a Warlord and can have your power come from you exploiting the action economy with your allies instead of raw power.There is history with having high level fighters gaining a stronghold and followers so I do see the concepts of the warlord and the fighter as the same path.</blockquote>
