Editing Fighter (section)

====Class Feature Variants====
While the Fighter is a more-than-competent class in 5th edition, a common house-rule among players is to give any Fighter, regardless of subclass, a few maneuvers from the Battle Master subclass. The Battle Master is widely regarded to be one of the best subclasses for the Fighter, and also the most fun of the subclasses, as it allows you to do a whole lot more than swing a sword around, nevermind that barbarian players are content to do exactly that. With the November 2019 UA, this house rule has (sort of) become canon! In addition to the slew of Fighting Style choices the UA delivered, the Fighter gets an exclusive Fighting Style that nets them a free maneuver from the Battle Master. In addition, they added a wide variety of powerful maneuvers that let the Fighter skillmonkey hard, twirl blades around, and lie like a silver-tongued Rogue! Because really, everything is improved with a small dose of [[The Book of Weeaboo Fightan Magic|weeaboo fightan magic.]]  Obvious downside, of course, is obvious: they buffed the most brokenly overpowered subclass and made it the "default" option, while offering almost nothing to anyone else.

The ''Tasha's Cauldron of Everything'' splat sees these all effectively canonized, though not fully integrated, in case of GM fiat forbidding this book because "reasons" (Read: Your GM is a whiny bitch who loathes the idea of Fighters being able to do things aside from swinging swords).
