[QUOTE="Erechel, post: 6650128, member: 6784868"] Remarkable Athlete could do the trick pretty well. Also, the high Constitution given by superior Ability Increase capacity and/or Athlete feat can make it. Given by the Pirate background, as Bad Reputation. Also, it can be achieved by Intimidation (that can be ruled as a Strenght check also). Not unique at all. Leadership is made by Folk Hero or the Leadership feat. It is also a Paladin feature (as an aura) so not unique. The whole point of fighters in 5ed is to be a reliable, steady character, not subject to resource management. Yes, he has a limited number of "special" actions (IE Action Surge & Second Wind), but overall, he is a capable "core" character. He plays by the core, by the skills and basic attacks/maneuvers. I think that you are a little biased by 4th Edition, where every class has a "unique" fluff, and so, you don't really trust in base skills checks. Yes, the Fighter don't have a "Unique" out of combat fluff, but still he is very competent in that aspect (arguably, thanks to their higher stats or more feats, the second best in every area, as he hasn't limited resources as wizards and clerics). The resolution of most out of combat situations is generally made by means of Skill Checks and careful roleplaying.
