Fighter
Fighters are warriors, that use their incredible strength to destroy enemy.
They use just raw power to kill anything that will stand in their way. No
tactics, no wisdom, no intellect, just power focused at enemy. Not such
wonder, that the most fighters are trolls and minotaurs. Fighters have most
skills focused in damage ... They are strong and they can use twohanded
weapons. These weapons are far most powerful on the world. But fighters are
not only strong, they are also stout and as they knowledge (hehe) arises,
their are even more stout. The most powerful fighters are able to use
their destructive damage on everyone in room and they fight in way:
Stand in front of enemy and beat it as much as it gets, while trying to parry
incoming blows, and maybe blocking them with shield, or just withstanding them.
Fighters can focus on using one particular weapon, getting used to it and
increasing their skill with it far beyond levels normally seen. But if they
ever lose this one weapon, all their training with it is lost and they have to
find another weapon-friend.

Legendary Skills
The dragonslayer is a fighter who dedicated his skills to slaying dragons
and other dragon-like creatures. A dragonslayer knows the behavior of all scaly
beasts and he can predict what they are going to do before they know it
themselves. This allows the dragonslayer to avoid dragon\'s attacks and then
hit it extremely hard as it exposes itself. Many of those techniques in fact
apply not just to dragons but to anything and everything with strong and tough
armor. On the other hand, dragonslayer is nowhere near as strong when fighting
lightly-armored opponents. As counter-intuitive as it may seem, your best bet
when facing a dragonslayer is to discard your armor as the dragonslayer would
use your armor against you but if you have no strong armor, dragonslayer\'s
techniques simply do not work.
The fighter is not just an unthinking brute. Well, some are, but certainly not
all. Some fighters are, in fact, brilliant students of fighting arts, masters
of battle tactics and combat manoeuvers. They grow more confident in their ability
to execute all their skills, doing them faster with greater precision. They
can manipulate the battlefield and their enemies to their advantage or to the
advantage of their party by drawing attention to themselves or disrupting
the enemy\'s intentions.
Some fighters focus on their mastery with weapons. They can hone their weapons
to perfection and if they choose to bond with a specific weapon they can make
it almost like an extension of their body and will. They also attain much greater
mastery of twohanded weapons, allowing them to not only attack with immense power
but also parry with such weapons much more effectively than normal.
Epic defender is a fighter who dedicated her life to protecting her fellow
adventurers. An epic defender trains her body to withstand absurd amounts
of physical punishment and then uses this training to jump into blows,
inerposing herself into all attacks coming at her party. She learns to intercept
not just physical attacks but also incoming spells. She gains an ability to
defend herself almost instinctively even on the verge of death when lesser beings
can be finished off by well-aimed strike or powerful spell like reaper. Ultimately,
her instinctive defense grows to a level that she can shrug off many finishers
regardless of her state. And when she is at the death\'s door and the priest is
nowhere to be found? An eternal defender can briefly boost her health regeneration
to essentially regenerate her body even during combat but this comes with a cost.
Fighters normally focus on the physical and more or less ignore the magical
aspect of the world. Except being beaten by magic over and over again. But
some fighters do develop reserves of magic, even without clear
understanding what to do with it. It doesn\'t take long, however, to
figure out some use for it. The easiest is to manifest the fury of the
battle as fire but as the fighter gets more proficient with the magical
powers, he can create additional effects. Each effect requires the fighter
to allocate part of his mana reserves to it and this allocation is returned
when the fighter removes the affected item or if the effect dissipates.
