Have you actually played Battlemaster? A properly built Battlemaster, in most cases has 14-16 STR and 14-16 Dex. followed by a high CON. As such, you already have an effective distance attack, it's called Pushing Attack, one for Melee and one for ranged (coupled with a heavy crossbow). Hello? Yeah, that is all we need, more backline fighters/Battlemasters playing ranged verses their true roles, to front line and wreck stuff.........

Have you actually played a Strength based character?
A properly built Strength base character has a Strength of 18 and Con of 18. They wear heavy armor and use Dex as a dump stat(10) as it doesn't add to their armor class.


It would be nice if Strength based characters had an effective distance attack with thrown weapons like they do in D&D.

Played STR based all day long.....solo, you? And I, among others, definitely do NOT need 18 STR to wreck the game......solo. Potions of Hill Giant STR are the bomb and loads of them can be obtained.
Again, you are deflecting from that which has been stated, Fighter class does not need throwing weapons, it already has an effective ranged capability.

A Str 14 Dex 14 fighter really isnt a "strength based fighter"...
