My Fighter {take a look see}

[Kenneth]

THis is only half of the Fighter that I use in my campaign world, Jiriku helped me out in some balacining issues ( and gave me the idea for the 7th level ability from his OWN fighter remix. FYI Jiriku is pretty much hard core, amazingly cool. the 2nd half deals with what amounts to maneuvers from the ToB. Tell me what you think, and if you look at the cap stone ability and say ' OMG WOW!" I am happy. I was intedning on just keeping this to myself but.. unforseen circumstances seem to have arisen. for now ignore the whole Martial Tactic column

When you gain this feat, you must choose one martial tactic you can use this martial tactic once per encounter. If your character has a full base attack bonus and is not a fighter consider him to be equal to a fighter of half the level for purposes of qualifying for a particular martial tactic. All other characters consider themselves to be a fighter of one third level. Martial Study does not allow one to have the same martial tactic more than once.

Martial Tactics{Su} {Ex}

...and why not just give them a maneuver progression? Because then you'd have to balance the rest of the class against the ToB classes? Also, you tell us that higher-tier ones replace lower ones on that maneuver line, but don't give us the lines.

Anyway, Counter Strike and Inescapable are missing some rules text, namely what happens after a "counter attack roll" and DCs for sundering walls of force and bull-rushing through Solid Fog.

Your Reflex save is nonstandard; if you're shooting for the "medium" progression that's thrown around every so often it should be +1 + .4 per level rounded down, which ends at +9 bonus at 20th level.

Second Wind is okay, and Battle Perception is neat.

I don't think the Combat Bonus benefits need that trigger. They're not that useful outside of melee (aside from the Will save bonus), and I don't expect a Fighter to miss every attack in melee for 2-3 rounds straight. Drop the whole thing, except Guardian Glare.


Honestly, it feels like you've tacked on a whole bunch of abilities with no real rhyme or reason to them. Nix the "defense" column and split the class into a couple of different ones (or a single class with ACFs), each with actual focus.

Do you want a mobile, defensive fencer (Mobile Combatant, Counter Strike, Instinctive Reflexes) or a warrior that controls and challenges the enemy (Challenge, Vigilant Bulwark, Guardian Glare, Threatening Presence)? You've got some good ideas but the class seems all over the place.

[Kenneth]

Well this Fighter for me was in teh works when 3rd ed came out and i noticed the HUGE disparity of power between the 2nd ed version of teh fighter and the 3rd ed, while wizards, druid and cleric got soem no so insignificant upgrades.


Yes I am well aware that the MArtical Tactics are similar to Maneuvers. Heres soem basksroty on that, Originally I made the fighter work off of 'Warrior's Spirit' whihc if any body plays any MMOs is akin to a mana system. the major problem i found with that though is. Fightes tended to 'frontload' them and during the later parts of a dungeon was just not doing anything excpet the good old walk up and hit with sword bit. I wanted teh Fighter to have something that while was nice, was not as powerful as say.. having a spell tossing around every round like casters can.

when TOB came out i was exhalted as the per encounter Maneuvers was precisely what I wanted I was semi dismayed that my created stuff was similar to a LOT of teh ToB stuff but... oh well. and yes some fo the Martial tacits are TOB maneuvers, some of them were really good.

and as for whatI want formt eh Fighter.. All of teh above. I wanted to bring teh fighter back to his 2nd ed glory days. to me.. with wizards, clerics an sauch being able to fulfill every role imaginable.. why is the fighter exempt form that?

Fighting.. that is what the Figher is all about. And a fight conists of many many roles. mobility, lock down, etc etc.

THis may seem all over teh place to you. but to me i think having to decide over which fighter I want to be while in actually a fighter should be each and every single one of those. at least to some degree. feats and prestige classes of course putting them more in the realm of specilization.


Also I apologize for missing text on some abilities. My groups tend to play more ah.. Cinematically as the most awesoem Jiriku put it. SO its reall hard to come up with actual mechanics for an ability when none exist in the game >:(

Ive just always been the type of DM who says " well so you want to be a Sword and SHield fighter eh? well considerign that IS an iconic image of a warrior why not? just becuase WoTC was too short sighted to include abilities to support that role does not mean I am going to render you worhtless. (ive seen some DMs that literaly laugh in theri players face over wanted to play a 'gimped' role and not really considering that its more the concept than the amaxing stats one can get or powerful one can be.

[Seerow]

Initial reactions:
-Dude wtf is up with that medium save progression?

then
-*double take* woah look at how amazingly dippable Fighter 2 is now.




It'll take longer to digest the whole thing. At first glance it seems a bit too strong in some areas, primarily in what it gets early on. But it is definitely more thought out than the average fighter fix around these parts.

[Kenneth]

There I updated my fighter so its not so "front loaded'

[Roderick_BR]

Looks pretty tigth. I'll have, however, to be the annoying kid to point that this looks like a Knight(Player's 2) with Fighter's bonus feats, a few fixed bonus feats (kinda... why?), and with a mechanic similar to ToB's maneuver (I beliece at least the names were inspired in it). So, kinda an almagamation of several classes. I dunno, looks good. That high hit die, movement, and DR makes the Barbarian redundant, though.

[Mando Knight]

That's an ungodly number of feats... and a fantastic 1st-level dip. I'd consider going This Fighter 1/Warblade 19.

Also, a medium save progression? What? No.

[SpaceBadger]

Lots of interesting stuff here, will take some time to digest that I don't have right now, but noticed one thing on first impression. The Vigilant Bulwark ability makes the six threatened squares into difficult terrain, and one effect of this is that nobody can charge the fighter. That seems pretty extreme.

THanks.. like is aid in my original post. this is a work that I did to make the 3rd ed fighter be as worthy of the name as he was in the older editions. Yeah a lot of similar things ( well some outight copied LOL) form the TOB. when I made mine and what I had after ToB came out is a difference of 30. I really liked some of the ToB things and thought ' man! why didn't I think of that '

and There is no barbarian class in my cmpaign world, Ive never really thought of the barbarian as a class but as a style for a clas.. IMO you can be a barbarion cleric/ranger/fighter/paladin even..

All I wanted to do was to make the fighter in 3rd ed be what the Fighter was previsuly.. a force to be reckoned with.
