[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 6856059, member: 66434"] I would say that your fighter either has some self esteem issues or the rest of the party doesn't like him very much. :heh: Any character who believes its their "job" to get beaten until they smell like onions was probably the kid who was always picked last for team sports. An adventuring fighter's job is handling combat. This often involves getting hurt because combat is dangerous, but the primary responsibility is eliminating the threat, not being a punching bag. Adventurers are the special forces of the fantasy world. Optimally, they operate smart and attempt to do unto others before it gets done unto them. Taking damage happens when a plan goes FUBAR, it isn't plan A. The concept of someone believing it is their "job" to get beaten up in a role playing game has always irritated me. [/QUOTE]
