[QUOTE="Summer-Knight925, post: 5359890, member: 80297"] okay, everyone needs to calm down this question is why play a fighter? not who is better every class is equal, thats the idea behind having many classes bards dont write epics about wizards, true, but bards also dont write epics about just ANY fighter, they have to be...well epic so here, before a bard can write about a fighter, the fighter has to do some great deed, like...hm, slay a dragon? that sound good? in order for this to work, you need the fighter up front, doing what they do, fight, while teh cleric keeps him alive, the wizard boosts and the rogue steals stuff and sneaks up and stabby mc stabs the great beast.... a paladin could do this, so long as his lay on hands ability worked he could do it without a cleric, that is of course, until he can no longer smite a barbarian can fight amazingly well, until his rage is over, the he might as well be cursed by a dracolich! a ranger? really? theyre cool and all, but if you have a ranger as the front-liner you need to rethink taking on a dragon, unless its outside where normal hack-and-slash rules do not apply...even though a fighter can be just as good of an archer as a ranger what it comes down to is a fighter is a blank slate, a fighter can go anywhere you want, he can focus on two-handed weapons, two weapons, a shield, ranged weapons, mounted, ect. ect. can anyone else? the most you get is the ranger "ranged vs. twf" which yeah...a fighter can get ALL OF THOSE FEATS at a lower level that being said, however, each class brings something to the playing table, the barbarian is tough, can fight, and also find some traps, the paladin smites the crap out of evil things and is awshume for that (that means "awsome for that" in normal speak!), the ranger hunts his prey (favored enemy) and the monk goes Kung-Fu panda on people no class is better than anyother, unless you want the choice of what to do, that is where fighters reign supreme, in choice [/QUOTE]
