I take it the group isn't actually supposed to fight this demon? I'd generally assume that a group would already have magic weapons once they meet strong enemies that they aren't expected to run away from. Especially if it's a recurring enemy.

Nah, the fighter is just being stubborn about magic items. If he'd asked for real help the wizard would've been happy to give the fighter a temp magic weapon or whatever.

I'm getting flashbacks to Kangaxx in Baldur's Gate 2. What do you mean I'm not supposed to fight the optional hidden boss right after completing the tutorial? I don't care if four out of the six members of my party can't even scratch him, I'm assembling and fighting that demilich the first second I can!
It's a self-inflicted hell that I put myself through every. Single. Time. Just like fighting the ancient red dragon Firkraag when he's introduced instead of coming back much later as intended.

And why do sword guys always go on and on about their swords?

Immunity to mundane damage is stupid.
I mean, resistance only means half damage, so if the fighter is attacking with 1d8 6 times a round, and actually hitting with three of them, that's about 12 damage a round. I would hope that sometime takes a bonus to enchant one of his weapons, which would add an additional 6 or so a round. Assuming the battle lasts 6 rounds, that would be 70-100 damage.
Sadly action surge is once per short/long rest until later lvs, when it's twice. Fighter's are so boring in DnD 5e
And yet they still have lots of features in their subclasses, work great with quick multiclass options, and can just, ya know, wield a magic weapon.
My battlemaster fighter had a few levels in Battlesmith artificers and I had sooo many things I could do even though the only spells I really ever cast were Shield and Arcane Weapon. I had my steel defender doing all kinds of fun stuff, and even though being ranged took some flavour out I was still able to be creative. It was also awesome to have such a clean base to build my roleplay on top of and by the end he was the least background-heavy character yet still had tonnes of depth and character.
The only “issue” with them is that the burden of creativity lies much more heavily on the player and it’s more difficult to rest on cheap stereotypes. I’m playing a warlock now, the plot class, and I still took it several steps further all on my own because I can. The pathfinder fighter looks interesting, for sure, but come now.
Ahh, that would significantly hamper the fighter then.
Hugely improved with the new rules at least, something they got right
