[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 8065340, member: 6871653"] That's not dumb. Fighter is probably only ''still a thing'' because of tradition. If you have: [LIST] [*]Barbarian, the reckless, war-loving brute (maybe with another name, I'm partial to Slayer but it could be anything) [*]Rogue, a nimble, city-based mobile fighter [*]Warlord, the intelligent and charismatic team fighter with a mind for strategy and synergy [*]Ranger, the ambush master, wilderness oriented guerrilla fighter [*]Paladin, divinely inspired noble fighter. [/LIST] each of them fighting as good as the next while having defined theme and particular in-setting narrative, well then the fighter is a little redundant. After all, what is a fighter when he's not strong and reckless, or mobile and nimble, or wise and charismatic, or crafty and stealthy? I'd say it could be as simple as: [LIST] [*]removing the fighter [*]Add a possible STR-build rogue with medium armor and shield (brute, thug, knave whatever) [*]Refluff the barbarian to be a little less primal-oriented (or not, if you prefer you Ranger with spells and thus, not mundane). [*]Create a warlord class. [/LIST] and you have probably covered 90% of the fighter theme. [/QUOTE]
