If you want a warrior main character, have them a squire or something!

Shout out to Steven Universe giving their main character a shield.

Or say that the character mostly reads things like fencing manuals and is a swordsmanship nerd on the same level as the princess bride clifftop duel.

Unless he has a-studied his Agrippa... Which I have.
Anything really!
Also it annoys me because swords and bows are THE most difficult weapons to learn from the medieval ages. We have legends about master bowmen and swordsmen because they were notoriously difficult to use.
You can look up videos of reenactors of people using spears vs. swords, and people who have never touched a spear in their life can beat people who have been using swords for reenactments for years.
To use longbows effectively was a life long commitment.
Crossbows didn't have more power than longbows, they were popular because it took 20 minutes to teach a strong peasant how to fire, and a few weeks to get them firing at the proper cadence to be effective. Being effective with a bow took far longer.

"My character is a filthy rich noble who hires others to do everything for him. He has hired the other members of the party."

I'd rather read that than another story of a child being handed a sword and killing grown men.
Give them a spear and have them focus on tricking people into charging! Anything besides a sword or bow, the two most difficult to learn weapons from the medieval ages!

Fuck it, let's make this mc child OP af in every aspect from weapons to magic and make every single villain underestimate them all the damn time.

Thus the kingkiller chronicle was born.

Is the third book out yet?
- I was so amazed by the slow regard for silent things, I can forgive Rothfuss for not finishing the series.

Explanation, please?
- It's a Harry Potter fanfiction where Harry and some of the other characters are actually smart and had to rely on cleverness more than the mistakes of his enemies and sheer luck. It's really well written. Personally I find it better than the original books.

The Lies of Locke Lamora

Locke got hard carried by Jean and his hatchets and we all know it
- He did a bit of clever guile. But yes, Jean was Locke's hulk.
About to finish the last third of The Republic of Thieves. What a trilogy!

Owl House

Luz is the opposite actually, she's a hyperactive dense extrovert that relies on cleverness and magic instead of a weapon.

I want window guy's powers. He apparently is immortal or can bounce without suffering injury.
