Revision as of 22:46, 25 March 2014

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Fighters usually start with a decent weapon, a suit of heavy armour and a shield. They have a good general grounding in the arts of fighting.

Starting Equipment

Some species may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.

+0 weapon of choice (hand axe, falchion, trident, short sword, or mace)
+0 scale mail
+0 shield
Bread ration
20 gold

Starting Skills

Adjusted for your species' aptitudes:

Fighting: 3
Chosen Weapon's Skill: 2
Armour: 3
Shields: 3

Strategy

While Fighters may seem weak or "generic" compared to the more exotic backgrounds, remember that your background is only your starting package. Unlike, say, Berserkers or Chaos Knights, Fighters are free to choose any god they like, including those you cannot start the game with!

History

In 0.14, fighters will have a potion of might in their starting equipment.
