Warriors

Weapon training, shields and command in battle.

Warriors train for close fighting, from a duel with one opponent to defending a party under attack. Their guild teaches weapon work alongside the less celebrated duties of guarding, escorting and bringing people home.

Training and role

Holding a position

Olympus gives the warrior tradition its military character, but a warrior need not serve a legion. Caravan guards, arena fighters and travelling companions use the same training. A shield, a chosen weapon and a place in the formation give each a different job when fighting starts.

Taunts draw hostile attention; guard and shield skills protect companions. Weapon strikes and combat styles provide several ways to attack, while shouts support a group. Adrenaline builds during combat and fuels some of the heavier attacks.

Escort duty and arena competition make different demands on the same training. Guild instruction covers both, with armour, weapons and practice grounds supporting the work.

Strengths

  • Shield defence and protection for allies
  • Several weapon and fighting-style choices
  • Group shouts and control of hostile attention

Risks

  • Protecting others means taking more hits
  • Offensive styles trade some protection for damage
