Fighters have reserves of grit and determination above and beyond other characters. Twice per adventure, fighters can immediately HEAL FULL themselves. If they wish, they can do this in response to being reduced to 0 hits.

Each type of weapon gains different benefits from each of the weapon skills on the fighter skill tree. You may purchase any of the skills on the tree once for each type of weapon if you wish. If you are fighting ambidextrously, you gain calls for each hand separately, so if you fight with two of the same weapon, you will effectively gain twice the normal number of calls.

You may fight with any appropriate weapon physrep of the class you choose. Weapon types available to fighters are:

• Sword
• Axe
• Mace/Hammer
• Great Weapon
• One-handed spear
• Two-handed spear
• Rapier
• Staff

If you have the Use skill for a one-handed weapon, and fight with an appropriate weapon of 36“ or less, you may make one WEAKEN call per encounter (this does NOT stack for ambidexing).

• Great Weapon: You gain 3 STRIKEDOWN calls per encounter.
• All others: Gain 1 dodge while fighting with your chosen weapon.

Your chosen weapon type is familiar enough to you that you can almost always find something that will work in its place up to a point. Mechanically, you can find an object that will work for you as a standard weapon of your chosen type with ten seconds of appropriate “searching” roleplaying.
