Warrior

The Warrior is a nomad who fights with a blade in each hand. It starts with a pair of Scimitar curved swords and light cloth gear, so the whole kit is built around speed rather than protection.

Early on, the Warrior is all about getting in close and staying on the attack. Holding a curved sword in both hands gives you quick, flowing combos, and Dexterity 16 is the highest of any starting class, so those swords hit well from the very first fight. There is also a Riveted Wooden Shield if you want something to block with while you learn.

Vigor 11 and Endurance 11 are middling, and the light gear will not save you from heavy blows, so you need to dodge rather than tank. Mind 12 and Intelligence 10 leave a little room to dabble in sorcery later, but Faith 8 makes incantations a slow road.
