The basic setup of the game has changed a lot, but Fighters have changed only a little. And so we really need Fighting Men to be a lot more interesting and effective than they are in the rules. Summary::No longer are we allowing our Fighting Men to go without a last name unless and until they get to fourth level without being eaten by an owlbear. Now every character is supposed to be individually important and have some background and so on and so forth. Well, that isn't how things work anymore. So you rolled up stats for each guy, and if you rolled well enough on a guy he could be something other than a Fighting Man, and the rest of your guys were basically just speed bumps whose lot in life was to stand between the monsters and the Magic Users so that the real characters could survive to another day. Indeed, players still controlled lots of characters, and it was deemed impractical for more than one or two of those characters to be any good or in any fashion important. When the new classes (such as "Magic User" and eventually "Thief" and "Cleric") were introduced, they were intended to be better than the Fighting Men. So it isn't surprising that at first you "roleplayed" a small group of heroic fighting men. The smaller number of better Fighting Men would be your "army" and eventually people started playing magical teaparty with their fighting men, and it turned into a roleplaying game. And that, right there, is the origins of DnD. Eventually, someone got really lazy, and wanted to replace a large number of fighting men with heroic fighting men who would be easier to paint because there were much less of them. ![]() You had a field filled with tiny men, and they fought each other with swords and bows. In its origins, D&D was a wargame like Warmachine or Warhammer.
