Hi Dingo! Love your content! Hope we can see the conclusion for Phips(the armored dragon video was my fav)

I need to hear this story

One time I almost killed our fighter with two nat 1s to the face.

My first time playing 3.5E I played a rogue because they needed one, realized I would never do any damage and put everything into athletics. In our first fight I tried to jump over a curch bench and rolled natural 1. We used a random injury table and I would have split my head but since it didn't make a lot of sense I ONLY broke my jaw. I tried to insist I would only speak in Drow Sign Language but no one knew it.

Same here. My Dwarf, Krennic Goldtooth was an absolute beast, even when suffering from lvl2 exhaustion. Not to mention one moment I had a fellow party memeber, a 7 foot tall human barbarian named John Cena (guy was the only one meming) being mind controlled by a Wendigo (homebrewed oneshot) and as he was approaching the tavern door, opening it to let said Wendigo in, I literally German Suplexed him across the tavern.

jokes on you thats the second most common apparently (i'm saying that as a literal newbie making a dwarven fighter as we speak)

I pick Dragonborn e_e

Indeed, only human, only fighter, only non-magic-user, only non-orphan from my current table

There is something to be said about how much fun it is to be the straight man. Usually when I play fighter it's because the rest of my party has chosen to be, shall we say... non-mainstream with their builds. (I'm looking at you 14 Wisdom Elven Cleric, and you too Dual Classed Sorcerer/Wizard.) I like fighter because it does one thing really, really dependably well. If nothing else you can count on the fighter to have a competent turn of probably hitting and dealing reasonable damage if nothing else.

Holy shit, you're right. Being the straight man is unique when being unique is the norm.

I had fun with this. I played a character with the goal of being as un-unique as possible. I was a human fighter, whose backstory was "got drafted into the army and assigned to join the adventurers". None of his stats were hugely high, his feats were lucky and tough. He wasn't special, no tragic history, no prophecy, and no real experience of proper adventure. He kept getting freaked out by things other adventurers took in stride, and sometimes was needed to offer a sane man's perspective on things.

@Gideon Chan nah, man. The best backstory is literally just to make a standard human fighter, who was at a young age recruited as a soldier, I'm simply served as a soldier for most his life. He is a simple person, born to Farmers, with simple goals in mind as he travels on adventures. Making some badass Leonidas type is all well and good, but, if you want to make something truly unique, I have to seriously recommend the mundane. There is something so special about playing a standard rank-and-file soldier in the game full of fantasy weirdos and anime edgelords.

Starts off with the A-Men, then adds Fighter-Man, Tree Hugger, and Barbar for the big crossover movie. Swag Master shows up briefly at the end, implying they'll be in the next movie.

Exactly. A fighter can be anyone from a humble adventurer to basically whatever you want.

Honestly with all the different archetypes for Fighter you could easily have a typical party makeup of Tank, Caster, Range boi, and you wouldn’t even need a healer since Fighters get to just heal themselves whenever the fuck they want. Add in a Life Domain Cleric or Paladin and you’ve got a full squad of heavy armored fuckers that take shit from absolutely nobody.

@@SolarFlarehorse the fightiness of Clerics has been underestimated since 2nd Ed. AD&D.

That sounds far more interesting than most characters. Personally, I feel like most D&D characters are stereotypes, not just the Fighters. Rogues and Barbarians especially suffer from this.

Yeah I think these ones succeed because of the animation rather than gameplay, they have so much nore personality in them thats for sure.

Same

Oddly enough, this is correct. My half-elf fighter is stupid, but so damn likable. It also helps that his name is TACOS! and everyone gets a kick out of that.

I had a very competent human fighter once, that had great stats all around, but I kept rolling 1s on intimidations, perceptions, and charismaXD Best part about it, is that my initatives were consistently above 17, I loved the fact, that he was a doofus outside combat, we kept liking him to Gourry from Slayers

Fighter: Duuuurrrrh. NPC: You are persuasive

I personally think most characters with a low Int and high cha are fun to play with and play as. My half elf rogue was unable to read (or swim for some reason, it was rolled) and it was honestly super fun and i had some great encounters

Tony Joestar first ever game, I played a drow fighter. First thing I do is bang a bar maid 20 minutes in. Best intro to the game ever

Clayton Weyl that’s actually a super interesting character idea. A fighter I’m in the process of making is a Jaguar tabaxi champion who is a gladiator. Of all things I decided to make him a dual STR and DEX build with high CON and Charisma. His lowest stat is a 10 INT but that’s because he’s self centered and went from exotic slave to proud gladiator. Some ideas I have is that he uses an opportunity to join the party, re-awaken his wanderlust, get accustomed to a non-gladiator lifestyle (as he’s become somewhat stagnant because of it). I’d have a little tidbit where he’d get mistaken for a leopard and get angry, is self conscious of his short tail length (he’d lie and say it got cut up during a fight), and adores theatrics.

I once had a similar character. I took the knight variant of the noble background, but instead of a protege that I had to teach to fight, I had an old man mentor that was teaching me to fight.

Thank you! A mechanical monstrosity of a min/maxed build does not guarantee that your character will be at all interesting. I'll take my human fighter who's just a dumb farmboy any day because he actually has a personality.

for me i have just always liked knights or stories where a person with no special skills has managed to fight and defeat those who "Should" be better because magic or something. Like imperial guardsmen. :D

I'd always pictured Strider as a revised ranger

My first (and only) epic character was a black Tiefling Arcane Archer who was inspired by Han Solo for the reasons Nightflash478 listed. I totally get the allure of being a "regular" character forced to use martial talent and cunning to overcome fantastical adversity. It's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. You are probably going to get the sh** kicked out of you. But for me there is nothing more satisfying than having a character that has an unremarkable upbringing claw his/her way out of a dire situation that might outright kill his Wizard companions, or beguile his Barbarian party members. My favorite example being when my lv.15 fighter defeated Orcus in his temple with the party, then got separated from the party and had to end up killing Fraz-Urb'luu by HIMSELF, with less than 25 hp. Needless to say a fair amount of that was luck, (not the feat) and how the dice rolled for me and Fraz. Action surge and indomitable, as well as rolling the highest initiative helped me cheat death lol. Maybe that experience of cheating death as a fighter is unique to me, but that character narrowly escaped A LOT of insta-kills and the like thanks to perks unique to his class. Which is why fighters and rogues will (probably) always be my favorite classes to choose from. Cheers!

But Aragorn is a Ranger.

I can appreciate that, he's got the specialized training for a specific region typical of a ranger. But I see him as a swiss army knife type character that can handle any battle situation pretty well, and come out on top, no matter what terrain he's in. For that reason I see him as more of a fighter.

In other words, fighters are not bland if you role play.

Well, human fighter is the "blankest" slate. But everything can be custom

Everyone knows Squirtle is the best class.

Oh shit its monster hunter!

My one complaint I've ever had about playing that sort of 'sick of this magical bullshit' (Which don't get me wrong I love the idea of dearly) is that there's not really a great way to have your hyper-competent sharp-metal man be that good at shrugging off magic or negating it outside of, ya know, just killing the caster in question.
