 Fighter man, fighter man, overall he is fairly bland, hit some stuff, hit some more, outside combat it's quite a bore, look out, he is a fireman. Gee, I wonder what it does, it's a goddamn mystery, who knows? I'll say it because nobody else will, if you pick fighter odds are you're also likely to pick human because you're basic like that, and that's not just me saying that, it's science. Human fighters pop out of the woodwork like rabbits on Viagra because people are incapable of choosing something unique even when they're given options like playing as a cobalt paladin who prays to asteroids just before they crush an unfortunate man's cabbage cart. Just look at me for example, artistic phenomenon and originator of the satirical talk fast genre of videos, what do you mean I'm not the first one to come up with the idea? I don't need these lies coming out of you, everything I make is completely original and everybody knows it, come on master chief, let's get the fuck out of here. Fighters are the purest essence of the combat side of D&D, all about hitting things hard and fast, getting into the thick of the fight and hey you get out of here, we're not talking about you, they're all focused around rolling more dice than a limp biscuit song, as well as being straight up easy baby mode because you get to start using any weapon you want, heavy armor, some ranged options, a free cheesecake and a complimentary belly rub just for picking the class, seriously everything about it is geared towards being so noob-friendly even a monster hunter longsword player will be laughing at you. If you feel so inclined during combat you can heal yourself, attack twice and take a second action to attack twice again all in the same turn. And that's at 5th level, not to mention you getting more ability score increases than any other class means that if you go a turn without hitting at least something then you must have made some kind of D&D sin than angered Gary Gygax like getting weighted dice or putting milk in before your cereal. Fighter flavors allow you to pick how you want to be hitting the bad guys like being a magic bitch that can actually take a hit or ride a bitch while you cut down a fool or go all out sensei mode and just decide you want to advantage for every attack this turn so you're going to absolutely destroy a bitch. But odds are knowing most fighters out there champion is the best bet because it's basic. Yo, we heard you like fighter so we put more fighter in your fighter. Just be sure to make your character a rough and grizzle face middle-aged straight white man with a two-handed sword and a mysterious and or tragic and or vengeful backstory just to fit the bill. Don't want to get too creative now do we? And now you know how to play fighter, you're welcome. Time, plenty of damage to chime, here comes the fighter man!
