It gives a fighting style and lets you switch that style when you level. Your idea more or less makes the switch instantly.Oh it's a buff. The issue is it's not that much of a buff. Most of the benefits of Fighting Styles don't stack. Therefore getting all 6 fighting styles is more like having 3 fighting styles. Then once you get to the fact that high level characters tend to be more optimized do to the sheer power of their challenges. So the benefits of getting FSs you aren't optimized for so late would be minimal.Now if more Fighting Styles were made official,it gets better as the versatility of multiple styles would evenly be enough to stack to the power that it would seem epic in play.But as is, it's only a solid t3 class feature for a level 10-13 fighter. It invoked what a high level fighter could do but it's less a defining feature. With a high level fighter, it's more that his or her prowess, accuracy, and skill empowers all their attacks and defenses. More like the fighter's expanded crit range.</blockquote>
