Starting Kits

Fighters are stalwart guardians, archers, and thugs. They're best at what they do: fighting, disabling the enemy through combat maneuvers, and practicing sword drills. Most of them wear heavy armor, and will specialize in two or three weapon styles over their career. Most fighters tend to have a high strength, with con and/or dexterity as second, though not always.

The following concepts are examples of things you could do, though not the limit. They're also intended as guidelines, not law.
