There are those who specialize in various methods of combat and survival. Surly Hunters who prowl the woods and learn to utilize nature’s terrain. Unbreakable Oathsworn, turning loyalty into strength. Avant-garde Shadowmancers making pacts with higher powers, good or evil.
And then, there is you. The Armsmaster. Master of blade, bow, and plenty more. You need nothing more than what you’ve been taught, by master and experience alike. As an Armsmaster, you:
- Utilize your own mastery of physical prowess to perform incredible feats of power and skill with your weaponry and body alike. What you cannot do naturally can be done with a great deal of excess Stamina.
- Learn various Fighting Styles, allowing you to wield weapons for different purposes in combat… Axes to build your Stamina, Bludgeons to cripple your enemies, Swords & Blades to deal devastating strikes.
- Become the powerhouse of your team, just sturdy enough to survive great blows and more than powerful enough to fell foes with haste, so long as you have the Stamina to do it.
