I already have the fighter choose one more class skill (making him kinda versatile) that on part with the BG and some other little things here and there.
Now, really, Bumping this one, do anyone else has some other kind of idea? I would really love a brainstorm here.
What might do well would be a combat-style based supplement. Already Rogues are the dex-fighters, and really, that role /should/ belong to the fighter, who's supposed to be The Fighter, and customizable to a variety of options and styles.
I'd see such a thing as a focus on different styles, with appropriate feat options for both. The majority of the feats would be fighter-only, or equal to BAB requirement, with martial classes being BAB-3 to take them (earlier editions did section off Martial and NonMartial classes, and I think this is a positive thing).
I realize this is not a fix now, but it's something we can start thinking towards. Namely:
- What styles would be included?
-- Options for expanding Sword and Board
-- Two-handed
-- Finesse/Dex
-- Dueling styles
-- Two-Weapon styles
-- "Classic" weapon combos: sword and dagger, for example
Granted, we have feat options that basically cover many of these, but this would be focused, providing additional feat options that let the fighter branch off into any style she chose, and due to the amounts of feats they have, can master two or three, and master them faster, and further, whereas other martial classes could take one...and at later levels.
A supplement focused on fighting styles.
The fighter is infinitely expandable, as a class. Such an option would take advantage of this.
I realize this is probably what you don't want to hear: you want a fix /now/. However, this is something we can look forward to, and due to the nature of the class, be glad such a thing is possible.
Sure, a base supplement like this could be released, but themed web add-ons could be made, either by Paizo or through campaign: local fighting styles, specific to locale.
The fighter has the advantage to adapt to anything. We can just gear up to provide her that option.
