That's what they are best at, shouldn't they be the best at it?At some point in time, the Wizard player outsmarted the Fighter player intoI would like a feasible way for the Fighter to be able to strip to his bare and ass and throw himself (sans weapon) into melee like Beowulf.http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29083935/Fighters_should_own_combat?post_id=519256483#519256483I would like a feasible way for the Fighter to be able to strip to his bare and ass and throw himself (sans weapon) into melee like Beowulf.Wed, 02 May 2012 11:56:58 -0500I think Fighters should get a level dependant bonus to AC. Not just access to the highest AC armor.
