The fighter is the backbone of any fantasy role-play or LARP. Their ability to pick up a heavy weapon and inflict damage is their forte. Their skill trees center on improving their personal combat abilities. Some of the moves will be flashy, most will be very utilitarian, but it all boils down to “picking up a weapon and hitting something really, really hard”. Fighters start off with no real special bonuses but during their career, can accumulate a wide variety of skills to improve their performance.
