[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7268949, member: 6786252"] And yet, the Fighter is by far and away the most popular of 5e classes. Rogue and Barbarian also occupy rankings within the top five classes, along with cleric and wizard. So, what lesson are they exactly supposed to learn right now? Also, if we're going to talk about lessons from the past (non-3.x) years, we're going to need to look at 4e, of which having non-caster warriors having a wide selection of abilities was deemed an unpopular thing by the vocal crowd. Not sure how true it was, but its just as easy to claim that would be bad. There WERE weapon feats tested, but they didn't seem to have a favorable response. So, the devs are thinking about it. There's been a lot of testing to fix up the ranger. And the best way to make Fighters have a good story interwoven with it. Yeah... roleplay restrictions are massively unpopular. That's never going to happen again, ever. Gets in the way of new character concepts and different ways of having fun. [/QUOTE]
