Warrior
A determined Fire Genasi positions himself in the center of the melee, laying one end of the long red sash tied to his waist on the ground and pinning it there with a spear. Clapping club to shield, he resolves to find victory, or die there.
A young Kalashtar in gleaming armor steps forward from among her allies, quieting them with a look. With a heavy strike of her Champi, she challenges her enemy's captain to single combat. She puts her strength alone against the greatest of her enemies, to spare her people a great battle.
A mounted warrior quickly closes on his foes. He drags his serrated blade across a shoulder as he rides past, opening a bleeding wound. As he again puts space between himself and his enemies, he turns to finish the job from a distance with a bowshot, never slowing his steed.
Warriors learn their style of warfare and code of honor through the legends of their people's greatest leaders, soldiers, and champions. All of these warriors share a mastery of weapons and armor, and thorough knowledge of combat. In kind, they are well acquainted with violence and death, using it to accomplish their goals, and facing it defiantly when threatened.
Combat Trained
Driven by a warrior's code and the desire to live up to the legends they grew up hearing, Warriors overcome their foes by will and martial prowess. Beyond training with weapons and armor, each Warrior lives by an ethos based on the legends they regard. A Warrior might strike quickly and retreat, stand their ground, or attack savagely. Yet others are adept leaders or specialists in defeating magic users.
Masters of Warfare
Not every guard, soldier, or swordsman is a Warrior. Most are relatively untrained troops with only basic combat knowledge. Warriors are the best among their people, who have earned their position through experience and study on and off the battlefield.
Some Warriors feel drawn to the life of an adventurer. The dungeons, monsters, and other dangerous situations common to adventurers are second nature to a Warrior. There are greater risks in adventuring, perhaps, but also much greater rewards — few warriors employed as personal guards or enlisted soldiers truly have the opportunity to become a legend in their own right.
Creating a Warrior
As you create your Warrior, consider how you came to embody the fighting spirit of your people in such a way as to be elevated above other fighters. Were you assigned this fate and trained from a young age? Did you fight your way up the ranks on your own? Is there a goal to your training or do you simply live for the call of battle? A single experience or years of influence could have pushed you towards a life of warfare.
You may have been trained in an academy, learning strategy, tactics, and military history. Perhaps you learned on the battlefield itself. Where did you acquire your weapons and armor? They might have been military issue or family heirlooms, or perhaps you saved for years to buy them. Your armaments are now among your most valued possessions — the tools to achieve your legend.
Quick Build
You can make an Warrior quickly by following these suggestions. Choose a Warrior Legend, and make that primary attribute your highest stat, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Take the Folk Hero or Soldier background.

abilities, as shown in the "Mastery Points" column of the Warrior table. You regain all spent mastery points when you finish a short or long rest.
Some of your mastery abilities require your target to make a saving throw. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Mastery save DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + primary ability modifier
Ability Score Increase
At 4th level (and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, and 19th), you can choose to increase one ability score by two, or two ability scores by one, up to a maximum of 20.
Alternatively, feats can be chosen if allowed by your GM.

This is Your Life
To help you create your Warrior, you can use the suggestions found on the following tables to help you decide your character's story and goals.
Call of Battle
Many Warriors come from a long tradition of soldiers, or have had some experience that led them to adopt their craft and Warrior spirit. These callings may be quite distinct, varying from lifelong influences to recent events.
Call of Battle
| d6 | Call |
|---|---|
| 1 | As far back as you remember, you've had a dream in which your name was hailed as a Legendary warrior. |
| 2 | Your family are a long line of Warriors or soldiers that expect you to maintain the tradition. |
| 3 | You just really like fighting, and excel at it. |
| 4 | You were taken in by an academy as a child, this what you were raised to do. |
| 5 | Your village was attacked and you felt powerless, so you sought the ability to defend those you love. |
| 6 | You grew up hearing stories of great warriors and heroic deeds, and knew you had to make your own legend. |
Warrior Traditions
Warriors typically do battle for a cause. Some fight on behalf of kingdoms besieged by monsters, while others quest for personal glory. A sign of that cause may be permanent, or carried at important times. It may be a totem of their people, symbolic tattoos, or an emblem created for themselves.
Your character could have a specific cause, and thus already has these symbols. If that's not the case, consider devising a totem, pattern, or emblem that symbolizes an aspect of your nature or speaks to what you see as your purpose in the world.
Warrior Nature
| d6 | Nature |
|---|---|
| 1 | A totem with a badger and falcon, representing strong will and thirst for adventure. |
| 2 | Yellow and green feathers worn on the head or across the shoulders, marking one who seeks battle. |
| 3 | A black line or block tattooed across the eyeline, suggesting spiritual insight - an ability to see "beyond." |
| 4 | A loose plume of crow feathers worn on the head or one shoulder, marking a defender of common people. |
| 5 | Three red streaks tattooed beneath the left eye, symbolizing sworn enemies. |
| 6 | A firebird emblazoned on the chest or back, an expression of an indomitable spirit. |
Personal Goal
Why have you set out on your own, apart from a militia or guard? Do you believe that your abilities are better used toward a different purpose?
There is no shortage of battle to be found as a soldier, but orders rarely serve those who take them. Think of what you wish to accomplish, and how you might seek it..
Personal Goal
| d6 | Goal |
|---|---|
| 1 | You will set an example of martial prowess, and in doing so empower others. |
