Pathfinder 3.75e Character Classes

 

MARTIAL CLASSES-

Driven by combat their physical abilities often define them. Clad in armor, wielding sword and shield they are the first through the door and at the front lines of most battles, or skulking ahead in shadow or lingering behind your back they wait for the right moment to strike. Martial classes can be divided into two types- Defenders (front line fighters who hold the line) and Strikers (scouts and rear guards whose dexterity gets them where there are most needed).
