Fighters

Fighters devote their entire lives to the study of armed combat. Fighters develop their prowess with almost every imaginable type of weapon, and learn how to use almost any type of armor. Fighters can earn a living by offering their free lance services to nobles, or by becoming obedient vassals of one particular lord. Some renegade fighters even earn their living by terrorizing those members of society who are not so adept at handling a blade.
Characteristics: A fighter has little time for the development of the mind; the development of his or her body is far more important. However, more important still is the development of an indomitable spirit. Fighters can be cautious or reckless, but must always be brave if they are to succeed.

Fighters aren't quite as hardy of warriors as barbarians are, but they make up for the fact by their ability to wield and use magical equipment and items. A fighter is a solid class that is good for both new and seasoned players. Having the backup of a cleric complements a fighter well.
