Abilites:

  Great Blow A fighter is taught to deliver a great blow when needed. They take -5 to hit, but deliver their Str as a damage bonus. Great blows always land last, until 4th level. At 7th level, a great blow can be delivered with a hurled weapon. A lord (9th), may deliver a great blow with a missile weapon.

As an option, a fighter may learn the great blow for missile or hurled weapons in different order, to simulate archer specialists or deadly, axe hurling dwarf skirmishers.

  Set Weapon: Fighters are able to set a spear (or some other weapons) against a charging opponent.  This attack happens just prior to the charger's attack, regardless of rolled initiative.  The spear does double damage. 
  Lance Attack: Mounted fighters employing a lance do double damage.
  Lesser foes:  Fighters receive a number of attacks per round against Lesser Foes (<= 1/2 Fighter's level) equal to the fighter's level. 

For example, a sixth level fighter facing hobgoblins (1+1 hd) could get in three attacks a round. Facing orcs or goblins, they would have six.

  Morale:  Heroes can force foes to make a morale check to face them.  This is modified by the circumstances of the encounter and the heroes charisma. Superheroes force a more damning (-2) check.
  Morale Boost Any 1st level fighter gives a +1 morale boost to non-elite troops they command (elite by second level). A hero (4th) can boost the morale of any unit. A superhero boosts the morale or armies.
  Training Any 1st level fighter can train troops. A swordmaster (3rd) can improve training times or numbers by half/double. A
