Huge Weapon: Can’t be used by small/tiny creatures. Later,
They can change, some of this skills,
Even the “Weapons Training” could change in other “Modules”. Making easier to create other ways to play this character without changing or presenting other tables. Just creating other skill to trade with this one.

This is a playtest, not the final document. I'm sure the finished product will be presented in a clear, concise and colourful format.
Everything expressed in this post is my opinion, and should be taken as such. I can not declare myself to be the supreme authority on all matters...even though I am right!

Are you trying to sell us your formating or the fact that this is an entirely different fighter which you prefer over the playtest?

Seriously,
I don’t want to sell anything,
I think I’ve used a wrong keyword here. Look at the table and notice that I don’t used a single Base Attack progression, of even a DC for spell progression. Just skills and class traits. That makes easier to change with a future module, or even trade with other similar trait/skil/ability/power. I don’t want to see anything colorful right now,
I just think that we don’t need tables in EVERY class,
We don’t need a DC table, or Weapon Attack, Magic Attack, even a spell slots. The rest it’s all the same with different names.

I think they need to rework naming convention for the Fighter's "Combat Superiority" feature, as it stands it's basically a redundant term when it grants a mechanic called "Expertise Dice".
Either call them "Superiority Dice" or rename the power to "Combat Expertise" or better still "Expertise" then you have clear and consistant naming for this feature.
