Role
Through her selection of weapons, armor and fighting styles, the blade has great freedom in her choice if she wants to act as a light, medium or heavy combatant. In any case, she is a front-line fighter who uses her strength and speed to strike hard and swiftly.
Abilities
Strength and Constitution are the blade's most important abilities. Strength is an important factor in all melee combat, providing bonuses to both her attack and damage rolls. Furthermore, being up-close to combat and often sustaining large amounts of injury, the blade is in need of a high Constitution score to increase her hit points. Blades who use light armor and focus on speed and agility instead of heavy protection, are in need of a high Dexterity score as well. Dexterity also provides her with hand-to-eye coordination for ranged combat, as well as a better initiative.
