[QUOTE="Khaalis, post: 6387685, member: 2167"] To quickly summarize... Heavy Fighter and Light Fighter fill 2 different design spaces, though they can use the same core class. One of the core ideals of the fighter is having an AC. Heavy Fighters are in their element when they can be armored to the teeth. Great for dungeon adventures or for DMs that don't care what you wear no matter where you are. If a heavy Fighter is caught without armor, he's screwed with his 10 AC. as it should be he's out of his element. Light Fighters excel in situations and adventures geared toward scenarios where armor is unacceptable such as many city campaigns, waterbound campaigns, Renaissance based games, etc. Should a Light Fighter really be used as a Dungeon crawl archetype? Probably not. But in his element of no-armor encouraged style games, the Light Fighter HAS to retain the fighter's need for AC. That is basically why Fighter "as-is" does Not suffice whole cloth as a Light Fighter. At least IMHO. As mentioned "To Each There Own". [/QUOTE]
