OK, almost anything; there's Weapon Specialization &c. but that's not enough, not because it's too weak, but because a simple flat bonus isn't really interesting.I like Iron Heroes switchable feats, but you'd need to relax the prerequisits for D&D, I think. In Iron Heroes, a man-at-arms needs just Dodge 1 to eventually get access to any of Dodge 2, 3, 4, 5... as needed. In D&D, you'd need to already have Dodge, Mobility, Combat Expertise and Spring Attack to pick Whirlwind Attack as your switchable feat, which is much less useful, and has much less of a "I'm a know-it-all generalist!" feel.BTW, there is arguably something a fighter as he is now can get, that the others can't, which might be emphasized to "fix" the fighter: great feat synergy. I played a monk 3/fighter 11 once with Improved Trip, Karmic Strike, Deft Opportunist, Defensive Throw, Elusive Target, Whirlwind Attack... while any class could have any of those with a bit of investment, no-one but a fighter could have all of them, and the whole is indeed more than the sum of its parts. How to emphasize this? Not really sure.</blockquote>
