[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6273246, member: 37579"] In a system where class determines skill, a fighter centric skill might help. I remember this being proposed earlier, with a "Warfare" skill that allows fighters to evaluate troops, identify COs, build fortifications, judge the quality of weapons, and the like. This might overlap with warlordy things like inspiring troops, identifying tactics, planning mass battles, and the like. This gets trickier in a system like D&D5 where skills are detached from most classes and associated with backgrounds, and you don't want every fighter to be a master of warfare. But if every wizard gets Spellcraft and every rogue gets Thievery it could still be a bonus. Still, it's easier not to think "what can fighters do?" and more "what can [I]this [/I]fighter do?", and fix the problem on a character level rather than a class level. If a player chooses to double down on combat skills and not take anything useful the rest of the time then that's their prerogative. [/QUOTE]
