Message: <blockquote data-quote="fba827" data-source="post: 4293276" data-attributes="member: 807">I was going to post something very similar to what HeapThaumaturgist said ...In previous editions, fighters have been the weapons guy which meant he gained abilities for any sort of weapon set in which he chose to specialize.  Now fighters are (as specifically defined by their role) a tanker character: They are there to take the hits and attention which is a function best served as a front line combatant (which means better suited for melee weapons, which is why the fighter exploits are all melee weapon based).So it's a matter of checking which definition you're using in your head.  If you're meaning "Fighter" referring to the class, then the class definition has changed to specifically be a front-line/tank attacker.  If you mean "Fighter" referring to any sort of combatant than you should be looking at the entire pool of martial-powered classes to meet what you are looking for.As suggested by the OP, you can easily be a ranger or rogue and call yourself a fighter/warrior/etc or do a fighter with multiclass or half-elf.  Or be a ranger/rogue and multiclass to fighter.  After all, your PC doesn't have a big glowing sign above his head that says your class, the game world should be judging you based on your appearance (which includes weapon equipment) and how your PC interacts (which includes, among other things, how your PC acts in combat)That's just my opinion anyway.Of course, the majority of this thread seems to have as similar opinion so I don't know why I felt like posting. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
