As long as the world has been around, each race has had someone who has had a longing for adventure. To reach this, end they learned self defense and hand-to-hand combat. Most mastered the use of weapons and learned a 'strike first, ask questions later' philosophy to adventuring. Still others were just trained in the ways of war to fight for their people. The idea of becoming a Hero is the major driving force behind the Warrior.
Unique Skills and Benefits: The Warrior is RO's 'Tank' Class. They get the highest dice rolls for hitpoints per level and the least expensive hitpoint purchases at the DM. In addition, they also get the most attacks per round over every other Class. The skills: Berserk and Battlecry are their only truly unique skills.
Difficulty Rating: Easy. This is the easiest hitter class to play. The level of difficulty goes to Moderate when tanking (you need a full knowledge of the mud and most of its areas, knowledge of EQ and how best to go about getting the EQ). Of course, its very possible to combine the two aspects, learn a few XP zones and be a decent tank and a reliable hitter.
