Fighters are adventurers trained in warfare and combat. In a group of adventurers, the role of fighters is to battle monsters and defend other characters.
Combat
Fighters can use all types of weapons and armor.
Stronghold
Any time a fighter wishes (and has sufficient money), they can build a castle or stronghold and control the surrounding lands.
After Reaching 9th Level
A fighter may be granted a title such as Baron or Baroness. The land under the fighter’s control is then known as a Barony.
