The Master of Arms
Warrior Basic Career
Those players who wish their characters to fight and have the skills and Body Points to make them good at it, should choose this Basic Career and the skills associated with this list. Warriors have a long tradition in fantasy fare to be the ones in the middle of the fighting, going toe to toe with all manner of monsters and villains. It is arguably the most physically demanding – on the player – career in the game.
Many character archetypes fit in this Basic Career, the mercenary, bodyguard, soldier, and adventurer. Indeed, even footpads, highwaymen, and thugs can be made by purchasing this Skill List and later augmenting the character’s skills with a few Rogue skills.
Warriors can learn any Weapon Skill, Shield Skill, or fighting style in the game. They can also learn a few basic, yet very effective, martial skills that will help them survive a fight.
The only Advanced Career that is associated with this career is the Master Warrior. There are other Advanced Careers that the character may pursue that do not depend on a Basic Career for its basis, namely the Alchemist, Spell Singer, Druid, Follower of the Light or Servant of Darkness.
