Fighters have the best all-around fighting capabilities of the PC classes, and they are trained to use all standard weapons and armor. A fighter's rigorous martial training grants him many bonus feats as he progresses, and high-level fighters have access to special melee maneuvers and exotic weapons not available to any other character.

Prestige class tips[]

  • Fighters have many options available to them - blackguard, dwarven defender, or weapon master are among the best choices.
  • Elf and half-elf fighters who use bows may want to consider becoming arcane archers.
  • Fighters should consider looking at the champion of Torm, since it offers many defensive advantages, and little loss of class abilities for the fighter.
