PIT FIGHTER: Whether by choice or by slavery, the Pit Fighter learned
the art of combat in the death pits of any large city in the world. The
Pit Fighter is a flashy combatant, not the least bit troubled to fight
fair, but suffers somewhat from being a show-off, not going for the kill
when the opportunity for humiliation is first available.
Weapon Proficiencies:
- All melee weapons up to grand-mastery.
- All weapon styles, up the max attainable.
- The pit fighter may allocate points in the sling proficiency, but
can only use bolas.
Advantages:
- Starts with one proficiency point in all melee weapons.
- +1 to movement rate/5 levels.
- May use a "Dirty Trick" 1/day/4 levels: Target opponent must make a
save vs. Breath or suffer the effects of Blindness for 4 rounds. Save
vs. Breath has a penalty: -1 per 4 levels.
Ex. an 8th level Pit Fighter would cause a total of -2 to the enemy's
save.
Disadvantages:
- Can not become become proficient with ranged weapons.
- Can not use armor heavier than chainmail.
- -2 Damage with every attack.
