Fighter (Coiled Blade, Drill Sergeant, Myrmidon, Silverblade Hunter) Some take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do bale to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Sll others learn the ways of weaponcra to hone their bodies in bale and prove their mele in the forge of war. Lords of the bale eld, ghters are a disparate lot, training with many weapons or just one, perfecng the uses of armor, learning the ghng techniques of exoc masters, and studying the art of combat, all to shape themselves into living weapons. Far more than mere thugs, these skilled warriors reveal the true deadliness of their weapons, turning hunks of metal into arms capable of taming kingdoms, slaughtering monsters, and rousing the hearts of armies. Soldiers, knights, hunters, and arsts of war, ghters are unparalleled champions, and woe to those who dare stand against them. Some warriors are known for their skill in bale, others for their mastery of their weapons. silverblade hunters are those who have trained in the use of true silver, re ning their skills beyond those of normal warriors by taking advantage of the weightlessness nave to their prefered metal. Coiled blades are mighty vanguards, leaping into bale and growing strong on the ebb and &ow of violence. Regardless of their broader movaons, coiled blades revel in the thrill of combat, only truly coming alive when their life is on the line and their skills can be put to the test. Role: Fighters excel at combat(defeang their enemies, controlling the &ow of bale, and surviving such sores themselves. )hile their speci c weapons and methods grant them a wide variety of taccs, few can match ghters for sheer bale prowess.
