Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sacrosanct" data-source="post: 6644215" data-attributes="member: 15700">Not even counting the fighter only abilities that boost skill success, a fighter has one extra feat at typical playing levels than other PCs.  That means they do have a distinct option that other classes don't.  All else being equal, a fighter with that extra feat can (out of combat impacts):athlete: climbing not halved, better jumpingactor: adv on CHA checks and voice mimicrydungeon delver: adv on perception and investigation for secret doors, adv on ST vs traps, resistance to traps, search for traps at a normal paceHealer: healing PCs once per short rest.  Which is a lot if you have all day to restKeen Mind: always know true north, accurately recall anything you saw or heard within past month (this one is HUGE, especially in interaction)Linguist: in addition to additional languages, can create cyphersLucky: essentially give yourself advantage on ability checksMagic Initiate: take your pick of a plethora of useful level 1 non-combat spellsMobile: increased movement rateObservant: read lips, +5 bonus to passive percpetion and passive investigationResilient: gain prof in saving throwsritual caster: benefits are obviousSkilled: 3 or tools are now proficientSkulker: dim light doesn't impose disadvantageBefore someone says, "But every class gets those", let me remind you that is is above and beyond what every class gets because the fighter gets extra feats.So when people say that "fighter's can't" or "fighters don't have", that's objectively not true.  They can.  If you chose not to, then that's on your choices, not on the fighter class.  One of the reasons I really like 5e, by the way.  I was able to take my multiclassed F/T halfling from 1e and make him just a straight fighter with a criminal background and skulker and dungeon delver feat</blockquote>
