    Climb a cliffside
    Stand watch
    Administer first-aid
    Navigate the wilderness
    Swim
    Get through an obstacle course
    Swing from a chandelier
    Maintain, repair or build their own gear
    Ride a horse
    Take care of a horse
    Guess how tough their opponent is
    Know what they're fighting
    Not fall for a feint
    Know the battlefield's terrain
    Guess the enemy's tactics
    Lead troops
    Know the city they LIVE IN
    Know politics
    Be GOOD at politics

    I'd expect any competent warrior-type to be able to manage AT LEAST half of those.

    The 'lol, Fightars r dum' meme is a pernicious one, and I want to see it killed. But Fighters are no good at killing memes, either.
    Hmm.... I'm tempted to actually check how many of those a single fighter using my fix can cover. What level do you expect that stuff to all be done?
