Fighter Perks

Fighter Perks

Like many classes in EFU Sorcerers have a large list of perks to choose from.

The change from others, is that fighters receive a free action based on their perk that can be activated by using /c fighter_perk

Man-at-arms

These rugged men make up the bulk of any Lord's army, but they are not the characters of tales and stories. Often as not, these soldiers die nameless deaths on the battlefield-- fodder for the tales of greater men. Still, someone must walk the walls and guard the tents.

Squire

The children of the wealthy receive a very different sort of warrior's education than the common footman-- one based as much in morality and honor as it is in swordplay and siegecraft. Though some see such codes as more hindrance than help, the noble warriors of the realm see it as the only thing separating them from the common filth that pollute the battlefields.

Watchman

Every settlement from Waterdeep to the hamlet of Pig's Bottom has its guards.
