The Fighter

Heros Paths.

The Fighters Heropath

The Fighters path is most commonly awakened under desperate circumstance, whether this is on a field of battle or defending a village from wolves. It is the path of those who deal with the mysteries and fortitudes of direct confrontation, dealing death for good cause or selfish gain.

• A beginning fighter has +2/10% on rolls to resist or avoid any magics or poisons affecting them, though this is +3/15% against breath-type attacks.
• They are at +5% with all weapons, 'proficient' with four weapons [ an additional +10%] and may choose to specialise in one weapon type , which costs an extra proficiency.
  • Specialisation grants an additional +5% to its use and the ability to always do 2 extra points of damage.
  • Fighters may use a specialised weapon to make another 'second strike' at their SR + DexSR [usually every other round].
  • Fighters may 'double specialise' by paying three proficiencies for one weapon type. This allows them a further +5% skill and an additional +1 dam.
• They have a 'warriors edge' of 1d10, which can be used to negate [some of] the damage of any one attack when the player chooses to use it. This can be used once a day.
• Fighters can wear any kind of armour and ignore encumbrence effects with increasing skill [ignore 3 enc of armour initially]

As fighters progrees on their heropath, their facility with all weapons increases, as does their ability to further specialise, improve their resistance rolls and escape certain death by a whisker [more 'hero dice'].
