Fighter

From the original game

“Fighters are people who have focused on brute force and weaponry to survive in the world. A fighter relies on arms and armour, but learns more sophisticated tactics with more skills.”

What sets it apart

1. You're the only starting path that can learn Fighting's second row, which raises your attack rating further, so your blows land more often.
2. Toughness raises your health by about 3% for each gem, its gems ask for no attribute at all, and it trains from the hits that hurt you.
3. Swords, Axes, Daggers and Spears reach 8 for you, and so do Dodge and Shield Use; Spear Mastery and Ranged Weapons stop at 6. Fighting and Weapon Mastery can reach level 10.
4. None of your skills costs mana except Tend Wounds: you fight on stamina, and every swing spends it. Run it dry and you attack and defend at half strength, as anyone does.

Skill caps

A cap is the highest level this class can train a skill to. The table lists the skills it caps lower; every other skill it can learn can reach level 10. It can't learn 12 skills at all: Cure Wounds, Focus, Lightning, Protection from White, Protection from Red, Protection from Green, Protection from Blue, Protection from Yellow, Entangle, Revitalize, Cure Poison, Flare.
