Fighter
A
hard-bitten, seasoned weapons master, the fighter is both the champion
and the bane of civilization. Whether on the walls pushing back the barbarians
or on a rude ladder trying to get over the wall, sword in one hand and
torch in the other, the fighter is everywhere.
The fighter can be a brute or he can be a gentleman; in both cases he
lives by his courage and skill, the strength of his arm. What most people
don't see is that his greatest weapon is his sharp mind, steady heart
and keen tactical ability.
Other professions best him in some areas of warfare, such as ambush or
the ability to cause damage at long range, but once he gets within arms
reach of an opponent the fighter is the master of the situation.
Warriors are experts at their trade, and for this they concentrate so
much that they can't specialize in other areas. There are other reasons
why fighters do not practice other skills. Proud and haughty, fighters
generally have a fiery temperament and a keen consciousness of their worth.
A hand used to holding a sword is not deemed appropriate for threading
a needle, though it is certainly capable to. Most fighters happen to be
very good at that task, though they only show it when stitching the flesh
of a wounded friend. By one of life's many ironies, warriors were the
first to study the art of non-magical healing and they are still the best
at it.
Fighters in general are rather independent and capable of surviving in
the wild, tracking and bringing down meat for the table, taking care of
their wounds when needed. For those of better position in society, hunting
is one of the main ways that they remain in shape for combat. Most fighters
also show a keen ability for dealing with horses, dogs and other animals.
