Counter proposal on that: Most mosnters/opponents dotn have SLA/spells..<br/><br/>And sure, you could build "Ultimate" charge-Leaper (6lv fighter that could dish 120+ damage on single hit.. but Ireally would like to see how thats RP?)<br/><br/>Fighter, in 3.5E was feat machine. Problem was that fighting feats was bad. There were couple of nice ones, but all in all, they were way way lousier that casting feats or say, ranger's comppanion feats or rogue's sneak attack feats.. or luck feats.. or... or... get the point?<br/><br/>2ed, where there was no feats, fighters rocked, cause single thing: Weapon speciality. And much less HPs on everyone.. so +1 to hit, +2 damage really made difference (and additional RpF of attacks from speciality)
