Fighters are "everyman" heroes; men and women, lacking any supernatural gifts, who prefer to face their obstacles head on. Fighters are found in every settled domain and fill any niche requiring martial skill and physical prowess. They serve as armored knights in Darkon, Nova Vaasa, and the Shadowlands, and toil as soldiers in Falkovnia's armies. Their ranks include anything from a constable or a bodyguard to a thuggish bandit or even just a peasant with long practice in defending their livestock from cunning wolves.

Fighters tend to adventure for clear-cut, mundane reasons. Like anyone else, they seek to better their stations in life and secure their happiness. A fighter might adventure to seek fame and fortune, to pursue justice or vengeance, or they may simply follow their own moral imperatives. Fighters are often invaluable when battling physical threats, but without magical aid, they can find themselves all but helpless against some unnatural foe.
