Warriors are physical fighters who rely on speed, strength, armor, weapons, strategy and tactics. Warriors include knights, mercenaries, swashbucklers, martial arts masters and fighting monks. A typical warrior is trained to use all of the standard weapons of his world, including both melee weapons like swords and spears and missile weapons like slings and bows.
- Guard
- Guards do not have to be fully trained warriors. A guard only needs to know how to use one kind of weapon, and might rely on strength or equipment more than training.
- Barbarian
- Barbarian is a catch-all term for warriors from nomadic and uncivilized cultures. Barbarians are usually masters of all basic weapons, but a barbarian also knows how to survive in the wild, hunting and creating his own tools as needed. Barbarians value cunning and stealth and often have abilities similar to rogues.
- Cavalry
- Knights, samurai and other warriors who know how to fight on the back of a horse (or the back of a giant wolf, gryphon, dragon or other creature) are enormously effective in medieval combat. Mounted warriors often have a higher social status than foot-soldiers, who are sometimes just armed peasants.
