on the disengage, hopefully not generaly a disengage as a bonus action, that seems strange


If actions like shove aren't competitive, maybe we should buff them?
Maybe by adding some minor blunt damage?
Adding an obligatory acrobatic trick every round is not the way to go IMHO.

Also, it's entirely realistic that a pure fighter does mostly weapon attacks.
If a player doesn't like this, there's always eldritch knights, paladins, rangers,...
Most classes have limited casting anyway.
Also, there are combat maneuvers for battle masters, so in reality, only the champion subclass for the fighter has no options apart from basic attacks.
