The Fighter is one of the most popular and widespread characters on Grayhawk. A fighter lives or dies by his knowledge of weapons and combat and as such gains more weapons than most and fights on the best combat tables. Strength is vital, as is a good constitution, for these men and women are the ones that fight toe-to-toe with monsters and villains.
Four subclasses of fighter exist; warrior (see below), rider, martial artist, and archer. These are dealt with separately and are - in their own right - separate character classes. They do gain the benefits of the best combat tables and a good choice of weapons and combat skills. The sub classes can be accessed here:
