I am going to do my best and stay objective. It is nice to see the thingy from mike mearls regarding intention. I think it helps to provide constructive feedback. By knowing his motivations, I can properly assess his implementation. Let's walk through the fighter (in the context of all the classes) section by section. Regarding AC and HP, these are obviously relative. Without yet playing, I cannot assess if the target was hit, but one must keep in mind the balancing ...
I'll put that into more context as I go on, but this is the first of my feedback/impressions/etc... regarding the playtest released by WOTC for 5th edition. A bit of foreshadowing, at first glance, it seems as though the game has gone back to a more 3.x mentality/mechanic rather than progressing forward to something new and innovative. To me, that is why have a new edition, and why adopt one. Sooo... let's go back in history. I grew up on 1st edition AD&D. loved ...

Now, obviously, I could make a much better jedi in HERO. However, this is piecing together the elements from the D&D toolkit to construct a makeshift jedi. It takes mantles from complete psionic (to resemble "the force"), maneuvers and stances from tome of battle (to simulate the 7 different fighting styles of the jedi), and some monkiness (jump, fast movement, etc...).
