Fighter

Fighters are warriors, experts in weapon skills and battle tactics. Fighter training includes use and maintenance of all manner of weapons and armor, which allows them to use any type of armor or weapon without restriction. Whether for glory or profit, fighters can be found in the thickest part of battles, where only skill and bravery triumph.

Fighters cannot cast any type of magical spell, nor would they as a rule want to, preferring to rely on a strong sword arm. They can use any type of magical weapon or armor plus magic items such as rings and gauntlets. Fighters gain speed as well as skill when they go up in levels. High level fighter-types, including fighters, paladins and rangers, are able to attack more often with melee weapons, such as swords, than other types of characters.
