Would you consider a character with the following superpowers a fighter?
- Widened Plant Growth
- Summon Plague of Locusts
- Mass Remove Disease
- Contagion
- Mass Induce Pregnancy
- Scrying
How about this character?
- Stabbing people in the face.
- Super-toughness.
- Using armor and shields to defend oneself.
In this case, I am using "skills" in a generic sense, rather than a game-specific sense.
It's not that you can't pick up other skills at all, it's that when skills other than fightering become more important than fightering, fightering ceases to be your primary skill.
You
can intimidate people and still be a "fighter", but when intimidating people (without fighting them) becomes your
primary method of achieving your goals, "fightering" stops being your primary skillset.
Although... even "is super-good at intimidating people" is probably not very high on my list of preferred character types, and it also falls into the category of VAH.
