You may be a solider in the King's Army or you may be a gladiator. Perhaps you are a sell-sword. The point is, you know how to fight and fight well. You handle the great swords and battle axes with ease and heavy armor is nothing to you. You are the tank, plain and simple. What you are not is a master of magic or light on your feet.
The Warrior Profession is all about combat. They serve in armies, are knights, gladiators, sell-swords, or any other profession that deals with combat. If you want to be the warrior or the tank, this is the profession for you.

A Warrior is often not seen as a scholarly man, therefore their mental will be capped at 10% less than their race max. So if the warrior's race max for mental is 100, their mental won't exceed 90.
Effects on Weapon Usage
Warriors can use any weapon they so desire.
Effects on Armor Usage
Warriors can wear any armor type and use any shields.
Character Point Rate
Warriors pride themselves in their knowledge of combat. They don't care as much about scholarly things or being sneaky. Instead, they want to know how to do more damage. Offense is the way to go for them.The Warrior's character point rate is:
- Mental x 0.01; with an additional +0.2 for every level obtained in Melee Proficiency past level 1 (total of +0.6 bonus possible).
- A warrior who gets all 4 levels of Attack Type Proficiency gets to roll a 1d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points. This is for each type, giving a total of four 1d% rolls for extra points.
- A warrior who gets all 4 levels of Weapon Proficiency gets to roll 2d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points. The warrior can only get this bonus 4 times.
- A warrior who gets at least 1 level in every warrior skill (one attack proficiency type and one weapon proficiency) gets their End of Session Bonus as extra character points.
- A warrior's End of Session Bonus rate is your character point rate increased by 1/2 Strength. So if your character point rate is 1.5 and your Strength is 60, you would take 1.5 x 30 to get 45 extra character points at the end of the session. The GM can of course reward extra character points based on role playing.
Skills
A warrior is a trained fighter. Therefore they will be able to master fighting skills better than others. For a warrior, any skill listed below has its character point cost cut in half.
