Bullet Points: The Fighter



Fighter
(a.k.a. Brawler, Samurai, Skirmisher)

Though often seen as an anachronism by those who swear by hot lead and a hair trigger, men and women who specialize in melee combat are still a force to be reckoned with. Wandering samurai, Indian braves and even barroom brawlers all feel more comfortable the closer they are to their opponent.

Prime Attribute: Strength 13+
Hit Dice: 1d6+2/level
Armor Permitted: All
Weapons Permitted: All
Progression: As S&W Core Rules Fighter

Fighter Class Abilities
Killing Blow: If the Fighter successfully reduces an enemy to 0 hit points, they can immediately make an additional attack against any enemy within melee range.
Signature Weapon: At character creation, a Fighter chooses a signature weapon to specialize in. When attacking with their signature weapon, they gain a +1 bonus to hit on attack roles and a +1 bonus to AC in melee combat. If the Fighter chooses to specialize in unarmed combat, their unarmed attacks deal 1d4 damage and increase by one die size every two levels.
