What are your favorite fighter variants or archetypes?


for me there are several.

Weapon master, unbreakeable, tactician, mobile fightrer, danwflower dervish and lore warden would be my favorites.

Unbreakable, especially if I'm just dipping fighter. I can't believe an archetype this good at level one got through editing.


Dawnflower Dervish and Lore Warden. These are the only fighter archetypes I can play without being bored as hell.

I like the concept of the Tactican archetype, but the mechanics are meh.

Meh. I'd rather be able to pick a single decent feat than get 2 weak ones.

I've seen both Weapon Master and Polearm Master be very good.


I'm very fond of the Cad. Very barroom brawl. Dirty tricks galore.

The Foehammer out of ARG for Dwarves is also really neat. The 9th level ability makes me want to go TWF with hammers and take the Hammer the Gap feat.

I'm also fond of the Unbreakable and either of the mounted combat based archetypes.

My favourite fighter ability, however, is armor training. The ability to move full speed in full plate is what makes me so fond of fighters in the first place. Archetypes that give that up I would think twice about using, unless it's right in the character of the class or it gives up the heavy proficiency anyway.


I've had quite a bit of fun with an Unarmed Fighter, from experience.

The Dragoon looks to be fun, been looking for an opportunity to try one. Same to the Foehammer and Aldori Swordlord.


I love TWF.

So my favorites are TWWarrior or Dawnflower Dervish

Other than that the best single weapon choice is probably Lore Warden


BRAWLERRRR!!!!


rereading the archetypes i think the only ones that are really bad is the crossbowman and the new weapon bearer squire.


Vanilla and Two Weapon Warrior.


i'm loving my lore warden i'm using as my gmpc in skulls and shackles. its the closest i feel ill ever get to the 3.5 swashbuckler.


Archer. Ranged combat manuevers.


Brawler, all day every day. Go in unarmed and harass the living crap out of them, then take the AoO when they try to back up. I only wish that they and the cad had their abilities a little switched. Brawler seems to fit with disarm and cad seems to fit with reposition. "Battles are for winning..." and repositioning can mean the difference.


I have always liked the idea of the two weapon fighter. The image was always so cool.


Light Fighter concepts in all their variations :)

Free Hand would top my list. I have a Free Hand with Monk 2 dip that I still look forward to playing in game!

I also like Fighter/Rogues ;)
