Hey Playgrounders, Lately I've been thinking of dropping the Fighter class in the group I DM in favor of the Generic Warrior (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/genericClasses.htm) class from Unearthed Arcana.
My group is still pretty inexperienced so this seemed like a fairly elegant way to make the more melee oriented characters in my party feel better as the spellcasters are finally starting to get nice things (though as this is a group of new players they're not at the point of dwarfing the meleers completely, just outshining them at more crucial moments.)
Have any of you done similar or perhaps just played around with the Generic Warrior in your groups? Looking it over it seems like it would be fantastic for players who want a melee oriented character who can do a little bit of everything and still have the feats left over for a Power Attack focus or something else.
