There are a few options:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Make higher-level characters mythic in stature such as a running leap from a hill can take the fighter miles before landing</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Provide extra versatility outside the class structure (items, NPCs) and design the system such that choosing them does not impair specialty performance </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Increase the range of action the fighter player can take to affect the world sort of like how Buffy balances things with differing Drama Point allotments</li> </ul>Each  has its downside.</blockquote>
