Warrior

Warriors make up the front line of any engagement. They train to utilize a wide array of weapons and armor and learn various fighting styles to fit any situation. Unlike the more wild barbarians, warriors strive for discipline and technique, and unlike monks, they prefer the assurance of arms and armor over bare flesh.
Warriors are surprisingly versatile. Even without magic, their skill at arms allows them to adapt to changing situations, but they still use some Chi to amplify their physical strength and speed. They can get more out of their equipment than other classes, though are quite vulnerable when forced to fight without their gear.
