For context I’m playing a battle master fighter with pretty reasonable yet solid physical stats( we roll for stats at our table). We just hit level 5 last session and have 2 fairly new players (me being one of them) We have a scout rogue (also newish), a beast master ranger as well as a sorcerer and an artificer. Last session I played my character exactly how I felt I should. Used action surge early and maneuvers when i felt necessary whether for damage or reactions(I also crit twice which helped). Rogue felt my turn and reactions took forever, which is fair when you attack 4 times but it’s what the class is designed to do. My character killed 6 of the 12 enemies and 2 in the first turn. We’re getting to a point where new magic items come about and rogue suggested to dm that “fighter is op and doesn’t need them” I asked for a ranged attack since it was something I lacked and that was my response. I then offered to help rogue understand sneak attack better as I had access to a PHB and she declined, stating “there were no opportunities to sneak attack in that combat”. I don’t think I’m min maxing because my character is really the only one who excels and close range combat, Ntm the other characters don’t do well in close range. I feel like it’s more of a disparity in characters specialties than anyone feeling more powerful than the others. I’m not trying to be an asshole here but I did feel a bit hurt when it was brought up. I feel like a fighter should excel at combat and especially in this party. Do I dial it back on combat? Is there something I need to say?
