Warrior Class (DSC)

__NOTOC__
There are three different types of warriors on Athas: fighter, gladiator, and ranger. Each has a slightly different approach and a particular style of combat. Note that there aren't any paladins on Athas, because the idea of serving good and right for the simple rewards of inner peace and faith faded from Athas long ago.
* The fighter is a skilled warrior, trained for both individual combat and warfare in military formations. Characters of this type are the mainstay of any organized military force.
* The gladiator is a specialized warrior trained for combat in the arenas. He's skilled in the use of many obscure weapons and combat techniques, including those peculiar to specific combat games and popular blood sports. He is forged in the blood and excitement of the arenas of the city-states, trained to fight and kill for the enjoyment of others. When a gladiator earns his freedom and becomes a player character, he demonstrates skills and abilities that make him a deadly opponent.
* The ranger is a warrior knowledgeable in the ways of the wilderness, skilled in surviving the rigors of the wild oases and the brutal stretches of desert between them. Many tribes have at least one ranger in their ranks.
Note: Upon creation of a character and after racial adjustments have been made, a player may choose one of the three warrior classes for this character. If so, he rolls an additional 1d4 and adds these extra points to his character's Strength score. These points can take a character's Strength score as high as 24, but no higher. This one-time addition takes place only at the creation of the character.
