Fighter (class).jpg

The most common character class, fighter is a general designation for all those primarily motivated towards hand-to-hand combat, protection, defence, war and open plunder. As the universal combatant, fighters both protect the kingdom and threaten it. They busy themselves with the science of weapons and armour, while challenging themselves physically with athletics, physical determination and fortitude against the elements.

Fighters can be found in every corner of society, pursuing careers dedicated to safeguarding the riches of the affluent and ensuring the safety of the general populace. They emerge in various roles, such as leaders, commanders, pirates, guards, town watchmen and even common soldier-farmers, always prepared to bear arms in the face of another potential conflict. With a heritage steeped in gallantry, valor, courage and determination, fighters have no reason to question their cultural significance, much like the dependable ox upon which the state relies.

To Become a Fighter

The primary attribute of the fighter is strength. Fighters may be dwarves, elves, gnomes, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs and humans.

To become a fighter, a character must have these minimum ability stats:

Additional Abilities

The table shown describes the necessary experience to claim each level of the fighter, gaining hit dice and further abilities. Each level above 11th requires 250,000 additional experience.
