Agreed. The edgy, angsty loner is what really kills it for people more than the race/class combo, I reckon. Depending on how they're played, anything can be fun, once played a Tiefling Rogue who was a renowned troublemaker and minor criminal who was on friendly terms with the guards and effectively considered them her family. She slept in a jail cell and left whenever she felt like it. She was fun to use.

Fighter, medium armor, longbow specialization, throw in greater cleave for the secondary longsword/sword and board, some uncanny dodge. Make sure he's got his gadgets and trinkets for getting around. Saved the crew one time by using my grappling hook as a dragline and pulled a nasty net trap out of the water that could have snared us if we went in feet first. Nobody had a knife but me, so I was the only one who could cut the net if we got trapped. But that's what I use fighter for, a gadget ranger build that makes more sense to me. Those double sided coins, though... man I learned to love those. I used to say "flip a coin for it?" To my group as a joke, they'd respond "sure, I call heads" then I'd laugh proceed to do whatever it is I didn't want to do. But everyone outside the group... lets just say I learned to love the tavern as much as the bard did.

As long as they take Eldritch Blast, the increased number of beams keeps up well with the fighter's attacks per action. This is especially true with agonizing blast, so a warlock can eventually get up to 4 beams, each of which does 1d10+char. That's not that far off from a fighter with 4 attacks, and the warlock gets their 4th beam at level 17, compared with the fighter at level 20. The warlock just misses out on the bonus damage from magic weapons. Depending on invocations taken, the warlock might also get leveled utility spells that act like cantrips. The real difference is the warlock chooses what they get when the level up. Selling your soul has its perks!

Not everything is about the combat. But Eli Huebner is right about all the fun stuff you can mod your Eldritch Blast with using your Eldritch Invocations. And not just by adding your Char mod with Agonizing Blast. Eldritch Spear: "Sniper!" Increase range to 300ft Grasp of Hadar: "GET OVER HERE!" Move your target creature in a straight line 10 feet closer to you on a hit. Lance of Lethargy: reduce that creature's speed by 10 feet until the end of your next turn. Repelling Blast: "Back off, b*tch!" Push your target up to 10 feet away from you in a straight line.

I have always thought that having a less colorful character that is perceived as being more normal is an extremely interglar part of a group and when done right will make the other party members shine all the more while still being able to bring plenty of their own humor by just reacting to all the craziness around them! Its a common trope in TV shows and something i wish was more recognized in DnD. Its for example why I think characters like Sokka is so popular in shows like Avatar, it grounds the show and gives us a surrogate we can relate to! Ps sorry for rant!

Sokka Is a normal guy fighting people who essentially have super powers, and manages to be so vital that Team Avatar would *never* have beaten the Fire Nation, at least not before the Comet, which Is essentially what non-magic Fighters do, even If It Is mainly face tanking damage that would Instantly kill the Casters

We're talking about a Class that is arguably more customizable than any other class. You can use literally any weapon or combination of weapons you want, and just because you pick Dueling or Great Weapon Fighting for your Fighting Style doesn't mean you can't still pack a bow for ranged encounters. And with all of the Ability Score Increases they get, you can easily pick any number of Feats to make the specific build you want to make. Not to mention having more attacks than anyone else means they can afford to spend some of those attacks to grapple, disarm, or shove an enemy, assuming you don't already take a Feat or play Battle Master to do those things AND do damage. Oh yeah, and that's not even bringing up subclasses. To quote a certain someone who's been saying it sarcastically over and over, this is "the versatility of the 5e Fighter".

With a fighter it is really hard to go wrong when building it, almost anything is possible. You are one of the most reliable classes in doing what you do well. The large selection of usable weapons means you can stockepile some for certain situations . One time as a Battlemaster I pulled out a whip weapon and used it with a trip attack to knock an enemy off a roof to their death. Never used that whip again, but it did its job. Another point for a fighter is that you can get a lot of personality out of it just from HOW you fight and why you use certain weapons. You could look at every background/organization and come up for a reason a person is a fighter. A Sage who read and studied the art of war to become a historical Battlemaster. A Noble knight defending his family honor as a Cavalier. A lone Guild Merchant who protects his own caravans on the road from bandits fighting like a Samurai. Or even a Eldritch Knight Entertainer putting on realm renowned magical juggling shows. The fun and flavor of the fighter is whatever you want to make it!

It's a lot like playing a video game that lets you get new and more powerful gear, except you stick to the first sword (or the one the character has in their artwork) and still make it to the end by determination and mastery of your available options. Plus, I can't wield a shield if I'm a Wizard. How wack is that!?

People look at Fighters like a class that pigeonholes you into a specific type of character but I always saw it as a blank canvas with which you can make just about any sort of character if you build it accordingly. Also laugh at the basic aspect all you want, just don't then expect the Fighter to then use their action surge to save two of their friends with a health potion each in a single move. :V

I think a lot of that attitude comes from earlier editions. In 2e and 3e, they weren't much use beyond multi- and dual classing compared to the other martial classes. But, between having the highest number of attacks, useful class features and the archetype system, Fighters really came into their own in 5e. A dex based dual wielding Eldritch Knight is one of my favorite characters.

Fighters are nice to change things up with if, like me, you play often heavy casters like wizards and sorcerers. Simple abilities (hit things, hit things more, hit them harder, etc) means that you can personalize and branch out in other areas instead of just trying to maximize your casting abilities. Instead of trying to find more useful spells or items to cast for you, you can just see about building your character’s life and world. Business, life style, sight seeing, and more just for shits and giggles or for what you’d like to do if that was you in that world.

The Stalactite along with Rox fell on top of it and killed it. When the smoke cleared, Rox was sitting, shaking like a chicken atop the dead Dragons corpse. The party thinking they were saved by him, took him with them to a town, he was hailed a Hero and overwhelmed by this environment... A guilt crept into him as he felt he didn't deserve this, the Dragon's death was an accident. Hence, he equipped himself with a weapon and armor, becoming a fighter and set on to actually be deserving of his false title as a DragonSlayer by... Well actually killing a Dragon.

Fighters are the most customizable class in D&D alongside Warlock, so what's really cool is that you can make 10, different fighters and have them all bu completely different. I've played two fighter and my first one was a half-support battlemaster fighter who used a shield to bash enemies and defend allies, drew fire towards himself and tanked hits for the party, gave allies attacks off turn, and had a +8 it medicine. My second fighter's a DPS Samurai fighter who has a homebrew sword(OK'd by the DM) which allows him to make a free action attack every time he kills a monster. He has a bunch of abilities just dedicated to dealing more damage and destroying hordes and he has super high athletics and can basically brute force through anything. These two fighter were both strength baned. I haven't even dabbled in dex fighters and even still I've made two entirely different strength based fighters lol. That's what's so great about the fighter class

The problem is people look at the main page of warlock and see the low spell slots. So even ignoring the fact that those slots come back on short rest, and eldritch blast only needs one invocation to make it the best cantrips in the game. Warlocks also get to deck themselves out with a lot of utility spells and abilities. A few good ones that are at will, passive effects, or just plain good. Like using an invocation for a slot to cast another polymorph, or 120 feet full color darkvision that works in magical darkness, etc. Especially if they go tomelock and get the ritual casting invocation, which allows them to ritual cast spells from every spell list in the game. Not to mention the 3 any-list cantrips you get for selecting tome in the first place.

@@piranhaplantX warlocks are also amazing multiclass options, BECAUSE of their spell slots and pact magic. You can cast spells from any spell list using your pact magic feature as long as you have the spell prepared. For example, a cleric/warlock hybrid would have both divine spellcasting and pact magic. This means that, for example, a cleric2/warlock11 would be able to prepare 5th level cleric spells, as warlock spell slots count for any spellcasting feature, even if they otherwise wouldn't have access to 5th level spells. "You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots." "If you have both the Spellcasting class feature and the Pact Magic class feature from the warlock class, you can use the spell slots you gain from the Pact Magic feature to cast spells you know or have prepared from classes with the Spellcasting class feature, and you can use the spell slots you gain from the Spellcasting class feature to cast warlock spells you know." This is a fucky interpretation and almost definitely against rules as intended, but RAW means that as long as you have the spell slots to cast the spell, you may prepare any spell from the cleric spell list. Nowhere does it say that they have to be cleric spell slots, just that to prepare the spell, they must be of a level for which you have spell slots. As I have a fairly forgiving DM, I've used this interpretation with my paladin3/celestialwarlock12 hybrid (he believes he's just a regular pally); he prepares the paladin smite spells, and casts them using his 5th level warlock spell slots, along with using them for his divine smite. Only 3 uses at level 12, but it does crazy damage. One thing I've done is use banishing smite, next turn swing at the enemy, use Divine smite, and Eldritch smite on the same attack. You end up with (weapon damage)+5d10+5d8+6d8, MINIMUM. That doesn't count thirsting blade letting you attack twice, your damage bonuses, or magic weapons.

A lot of people think sense the real world equivalents don't have actual magic powers, they don't count.

Technically extinct, (and really a Cleric subclass, but Ranger and Paladins are Fighter sub classes, but Wizards forgot all of that) but they where a thing.

You can't _take_ Paladin or Cleric levels, but they can be given to you by the DM. He doesn't do this often. The Rogue and Fighter are the only two base, main book classes that are really available to mortals to take up on their own volition. Only at levels 1 and 2. Artificer and minor NPC classes like Commoner and Expert. The 3e Warrior class, which most real world soldiers and master martial artists would be (not Monk, ki/chi aren't real much as I'd like to throw a hadoken).

There were 2 fighters, closing a narrow passage, behind them a wizard and a rogue were pelting our team. So, instead of bonking, she cast Pulse wave. The 2 fighters easily made the DC 17 CON save. The wizard and rogue, got pulled right in front of the paladin. You can imagine how it went.

One of my favorite characters I've played was a Human Variant Fighter. Psi Warrior at level 3 and Telekinetic Feat at level 1, I usually fought by having an invisible Mage Hand hold my backup Longsword around me while I psychically launched my Glaive through enemies. That, and our DM gave me a really hype moment of the campaign when the BBEG of the then-current arc broke my Fighter's arm and stabbed me with my own sword, so I asked my DM if I could push my telekinetic powers to their limit and use it to one-hand my Glaive. And my DM said "Well, that's awesome. And I'll allow it.". And we ended up barely killing them. DM texted me the next day saying "Full disclosure: the party was supposed to lose that fight for a prison arc, but that was a really cool moment and I didn't wanna ruin that with a loss. And half the gang is texting me that they wanna play a Fighter next campaign now. So thanks for that one."

Theorycrafted a small race build for Caviler that uses the ‘piggyback’ action of another PC as their ‘mount’ pending DM’s permission. Made a Half Orc Paladin/Brute build for maximum damage output.
