Warrior

Warriors live for combat and the thrill of battle. They are the best fighters of all the classes, but lack the subtle skills of thieves and the magical talents of mages and priests. Warriors are best for those who don't mind taking the direct approach, even when another method might be called for.

Warriors begin with skill in the sword, and gain a second attack in combat. Other weapon skills may be purchased cheaply, or gained in the default skill package, which includes the following:

Armor

Warriors can wear every type of armor, and can use shields.

Races

These races can become warriors. The experience column is how much experience a warrior of that race needs per level compared to normal (100%); higher means slower leveling.

Cannot be warriors: Pixies. Remort and special races (Dragons, Angels, Demons, Balanx, Draconians and Giants) have their own classes and cannot choose warrior.

Skills & Spells

Free at Creation

Every warrior starts with these, at no creation point cost.

Warrior Default Package (40 creation points)

Taking the default package at creation gives you all of the following:

Skills

Skills a warrior can learn individually. Cost is in creation points at creation; after creation, skills are gained from your guildmaster for twice that many trains.

Skill Groups

Weaponsmaster (20 cp): Axe, Dagger, Flail, Mace, Polearm, Spear, Staff, Sword, Whip

Spell Groups

Warriors cannot buy spells one at a time; spells come in groups. Each group lists the level at which a warrior can cast each spell.

Racial Skills

Only warriors of the listed race receive these.

Reclassing

A warrior may reclass once, starting at level 10 (level 51 gives the most benefit). Clan reclasses require level 51 and are granted by a clan leader. See help reclass in the game for full details.
