So the idea is to do more with the teamwork and joint attacks. So I present to you "collective efforts" they are just like feats except that you get to pick a collective effort whenever you get to pick a general feat or receive a bonus feat that is on the list of fighter bonus feats (ie. inclusive of combat style and the like). In addition, I took off flanking bonuses, passing through an allies space, aid another actions, and feeding an unconscious ally a potion and instead made them collective efforts that have no prerequisites. The collective efforts only work in conjunction with an ally that has the very same collective effort (unless stated otherwise), so in the descriptions bellow "ally" really means an "ally with the same collective effort as the one described here".
This has the net effect of making the Fighter slightly stronger. Oh well.
There's a lot but I'd really appreciate your input on them.

You receive flanking bonuses.
