Level Up (A5E) What is the vision of the high level fighter?

[Micah Sweet]

That presentation aside : the same mechanics "really are" I think at D&D's abstraction level often just as appropriate for martial effects once you get past the meta elements.

Sure, but I think getting past those meta elements is a tall order for many people, and presentation can make it harder. Look at 4e.

I don’t agree That 4e was rejected because of presentation. I don’t think this is the place to have that discussion though.

Superiority Dice? reads like a meta mechanic to me .... it could have been ki acknowledging the relationship in monks deep effort (or even called grit if you want something different or perhaps muscle fatigue or heck give it a mental cast as Battle focus ).

Oh I know tell me to make up what that ablative ability is to me, please do.

I think it is far less of a problem than people make it to be.
