The Big Dumb D&D Fighter | D&D Class Analysis

It's been a while since we've done a D&D class discussion, so today we're talking about the D&D Fighter. Unlike the Monk and Rogue, the Fighter was always very good at its job. The problem was it wasn't very good at doing anything outside of fighting. In this video, we discuss the Fighter's very simple origins and its struggles to stay relevant in the more complex modern game.
