[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6644326, member: 15700"] Unique means just what the dictionary says it means, and in this case an ability that no other class has. That list of abilities that only a fighter has? Those are unique. By the very defiintion of what the word means. You can't just selectively use a modified definition when it suits you. By your logic, something like Bardic Inspiration isn't unique because "anyone makes attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks". And many classes (including the fighter) have ways of increasing those checks just like Bardic Inspiration does. So nobody has a unique ability? Did you not read my post above? It isn't the feat itself that's unique, it's the ability to have more of them than any other PC is unique. And those bonus feats [i]are a really big deal[/i] because they offer a lot of stuff that makes the fighter extremely competent in out of combat actives, as I listed above. It's not a strawman if that's the argument you made when you said a commoner can do the same as a fighter. A commoner isn't very competent, especially in the context of comparing them to actual classes (which is what this conversation is about). This has been pointed out more than once, with hard actual numbers. I'm sorry your biases aren't being confirmed here. But that doesn't change the fact that you're wrong. [/QUOTE]
