A Str 14 Dex 14 fighter really isnt a "strength based fighter"...
I like the way you low-ended that one too.
14-16, did you miss that? Furthermore, I typically build virtually all my solo Ranger and Fighter builds with 16 STR. But because I have spent 670+ hours testing a sh*tload of SOLO builds, guess what, Boss? I can wreck everything in the current game with 14 STR, have done it with both a fighter and Ranger......again, SOLO!
So the answer is no. You have not played a strength based fighter. You play a Battlemaster with a good Dex so you can hit with Dexterity based ranged weapons.
That you can and others can solo with a STR/DEX Battlemaster build is irrelevant to this conversation.
I am asking Larian to implement Strength based throwing weapons so strength based characters have effective options at range.
These options already exist in D&D 5e for all classes and are particularly useful for Strength based fighters, Strength Based Barbarians, Strength based Paladins, and strength based clerics.
