Fighter
She holds shield and spear at the ready, calculating the next movement of the surrounding warriors. Outnumbered, but not outmatched, she used her superior reach to buy herself distance, to draw an attack that she could counter. They thought the odds were out of her favor, but she had been in such gambits before. Lunge, draw, parry, punish, repeat. Her final blow sealed her victory.
She is a fighter. A human tactician that understands the ways of battle better than any. She understands the pain of mistakes in battle, the precision needed for victory, and the costs that come with either. She bears the brunt of enemies formed against her and is still more likely to come out alive than her companions.

Art of War
Level 1
Tactician: You automatically advance in the Tactics Skill Mastery.

Weapon Versatility: Each time you achieve Expert or higher mastery in a Weapon Type or Combat Style, you can choose one Maneuver from another Type or Style of your mastery level or lower that you can use with that weapon or style. The chosen maneuver must be physically executable with your weapon and style. GM must approve the connection.
