The question thus with fighter compared to other classes is twofold:ĭoes the fighter do what the class is intended to do, only better and thus making it redundant?Įven if the class has it's own unique niche, is it worthwhile taking that niche over the power a fighter provides?
However, what good class design will do is give each one a role it can inhabit that serves a purpose that isn't outclassed or overshadowed by other options. In the end, no game's class design will ever have true parity, unless homogenisation is an intended design goal. The problem with an OP class in a TTRPG isn't just that it makes it difficult for a GM to properly design and balance encounters, but it risks stepping on the toes of other classes, making fellow party members wonder why they're even there, or at the very least why they're playing their own class when they could play another class that does exactly what they do but better.
Today we come to the meat of what I was hoping to cover before my insane word count got the better of me: actual class comparisons. So the other day I posted the first part of my fighter analysis, covering the class's weaknesses and shortcomings
