HFO is on to something... if this was in 5e.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought of this reference when I saw that line.
NOOOOOOOOOOO MY DREAMS! ;~;He's not a Man Chicken but a Chicken Man?!
This is prior to the editions that gave subclasses as a standard. This is just base Fighter.I'm kinda sold. Not always the most efficient party, but if the fighters spread out their subclasses they can probably get the job done. Something like a Cavelier tank, Battle master ranged, and Eldritch knight for utility. And all three of them can action surge and bash shit in for huge momentum.
That's the general fault I find in many fantasy cross breeds. People insist that certain traits absolutely have to be inherited, almost always from the non-human side.That's funny, cause Parker got called out for naming himself Spider-Man by an actual spider.
Critical Role had a one-shot where all characters were rogues. Several of them were multiclass, though. It works; you just have to adjust the campaign for them, and in that case, it was basically a heist.and one group where everyone wanted to be rogues. Both were too fragile and wiped so of the mono-class options, fighters seems the most viable.

what's the difference?
Human fighters is pretty much the most generic choice you can make when playing d&d. And usually in a party you want to have a variety of races and classes both for RP and fights.I'm not entirely sure who is being made fun of
It's not generic, but "default", as in most people go with human because they aren't already engaged with fantasy media and are dipping their toe in, and fighter because it's generally capable without needing to think too much- you run at enemies and hit them, great for someone who, again, is just dipping their toes in. Now, that said, wanting everyone to be a unicorn ain't a good thing; either you go into orange and blue morality territory, where it's hard to keep motivations to move forward together something stable, or you end up with a bunch of people who are all the same internally so their differences are literally only skin deep- none of the culture, the concept, the worldbuilding, just the skin and the mechanics.Human fighters is pretty much the most generic choice you can make when playing d&d.
