| − |
| |
| − | You are a mailed knight on a king’s errand,
| |
| − | a greedy brigand loyal to no man, a wild
| |
| − | bear-skinned wanderer with an empty
| |
| − | stomach, or a stout man-at-arms armored by a merchant’s
| |
| − | gold.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Of all the classes, warriors have the best attack bonus,
| |
| − | the highest hit points, and the most potential for
| |
| − | extra attack actions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Hit points: A warrior gains 1d12 hit points at each
| |
| − | level.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Weapon training: A warrior is trained in the use of
| |
| − | these weapons: battleaxe, club, crossbow, dagger,
| |
| − | dart, handaxe, javelin, longbow, longsword, mace,
| |
| − | polearm, shortbow, short sword, sling, spear, staff,
| |
| − | two-handed sword, and warhammer. Warriors wear
| |
| − | whatever armor they can afford.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Alignment: Warriors can follow one of several paths
| |
| − | based on their alignment, which in turn affects their
| |
| − | title. Royal warriors, employed by nobility, are lawful.
| |
| − | Lawless warriors, fighting merely for profit or
| |
| − | carnage, are chaotic. Wild warriors, natives of the
| |
| − | barren steppes or deadly forests, are neutral or chaotic.
| |
| − | Hired warriors, loyal to a cause, a man, or simply
| |
| − | the fattest purse, can be lawful, neutral, or chaotic.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Attack modifier: Unlike other classes, warriors do
| |
| − | not receive a fixed attack modifier at each level. Instead,
| |
| − | they receive a randomized modifier known as
| |
| − | a deed die. At 1st level, this is a d3. The warrior rolls
| |
| − | this d3 on each attack roll and applies it to both his
| |
| − | attack roll and his damage roll. On one attack, the
| |
| − | die may give him a +1 to his attack roll and damage
| |
| − | roll. On the next attack, the die may give him +3! The
| |
| − | deed die advances with the warrior’s level, climbing
| |
| − | to d7 by 5th level, and then higher up to d10+4 at
| |
| − | 10th level. The warrior always makes a new roll with
| |
| − | this die in each combat round. When the warrior has
| |
| − | multiple attacks at higher levels, the same deed die
| |
| − | applies to all attacks in the same combat round.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Mighty Deed of Arms: Warriors earn their gold with
| |
| − | pure physical prowess. They swing across chapels on
| |
| − | chandelier chains, bash through iron-banded oaken
| |
| − | doors, and leap over chasms in pursuit of their foes.
| |
| − | When locked in mortal melee, their mighty deeds of
| |
| − | arms turn the course of battle: a brazen bull rush to
| |
| − | push back the enemy lines, a swinging flail to entangle
| |
| − | the beastman’s sword arm, or a well-placed dagger
| |
| − | through the enemy knight’s visor.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Prior to any attack roll, a warrior can declare a Mighty
| |
| − | Deed of Arms, or for short, a Deed. This Deed is a
| |
| − | dramatic combat maneuver within the scope of the
| |
| − | current combat. For example, a warrior may try to
| |
| − | disarm an enemy with his next attack, or trip the opponent,
| |
| − | or smash him backward to open access to a
| |
| − | nearby corridor. The Deed does not increase damage
| |
| − | but could have some other combat effect: pushing
| |
| − | back an enemy, tripping or entangling him, temporarily
| |
| − | blinding him, and so on.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The warrior’s deed die determines the Deed’s success.
| |
| − | This is the same die used for the warrior’s attack
| |
| − | and damage modifier each round. If the deed die is
| |
| − | a 3 or higher, and the attack lands (e.g., the total attack
| |
| − | roll exceeds the target’s AC), the Deed succeeds. If
| |
| − | the deed die is a 2 or less, or the overall attack fails,
| |
| − | the Deed fails as well.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Critical hits: In combat, a warrior is most likely to
| |
| − | score a critical hit and tends to get the most destructive
| |
| − | effects when he does so. A warrior rolls the highest
| |
| − | crit dice and rolls on tables with more devastating
| |
| − | effects. In addition, a warrior scores critical hits
| |
| − | more often. At 1st through 3rd level, a warrior scores
| |
| − | a crit on any natural roll of 19-20. The threat range
| |
| − | increases to natural rolls of 17-20 at 9th level. See the
| |
| − | Combat section for more information on crits.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Initiative: A warrior adds his class level to his initiative
| |
| − | rolls.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Luck: At first level, a warrior’s Luck modifier applies
| |
| − | to attack rolls with one specific kind of weapon. This
| |
| − | kind of weapon must be chosen at first level and the
| |
| − | modifier is fixed at its starting value – neither the
| |
| − | weapon nor the modifier changes over the course of
| |
| − | the warrior’s career. The weapon type must be specific:
| |
| − | longsword or short sword, not “swords.”
