"but muh raw damage"
no.
raw damage is irrelevant, ive played enaugh DnD that i understand that this is irrelevant.
Especialy considering the way monster HP scales in 5E.
Ending the encounter without haivng to whittle down HP is always going to be better.
and the wizard has several ways to do this. the fighter has a grand total of none.
>Fighters can fight longer without running out of ressoruces
wrong. Fighters dont HAVE ressources. Barbarians do, fighters only have them in tome of battle and the battlemaster.
>It doesnt make sense
Why does Barbarian rage make sense then? Seriously every time i bring this up it gets conveniently ignored, because nobody can explain it.
Why do superiority dice make sense? Why are those thigns ok and AEDU, which do very much the same thing only better, is not?
I dont believe that there is an actual argument. I believe that it is pure nostalgia and pure aversion to a superior system.
>Muh MMO
it realy must feel awfull that MMOs came up with a better system than the one you cling to then
I dont care what its inspired by, i dislike this argument because its a boogeyman. "oh it was isnpired by MMOs oh no its like WoW".
Yeah you know what? DnD was inspired by Wargames.
What maters is wether or nto a system is good. And AEDU quite frankly is a better system, hence why thirteenth age and strike use it aswell.
>Cnan is a fighter
hes a multi classed fighter / rogue, but barbarian has the fluff down
>powergaming beieng a small miniroty
thats my point. People pick fighter because they want to be a fighter. Not because fighter is actualyl worthwhile or interresting.
its a rolepalying game, people pick the class they gravitate to because of what they want their character to be.
The myht that fighter players are meatheads that only want ot full attack each round is not substantiated by any actual evidence.
And its always funny that whenever i am in a discussion like this, be it about AEDU or about Martials vs Casters, the perosn on the other end of it is someome gravitating towards casters.
I somehow keep getting told what is a good system for a Fighter, by someone who probably wouldnt pick up a fighter, for exactly the reason im advocating for anothe rsystem.
