Warrior

These are NPC class templates. Add them to some humanoids or other monsters to diversify an encounter. Bold abilities are passive, underlined ones are added to the attack options of the original creature. If necessary, you can adjust the damage dice to match the base monster’s. — SaltyGoo

Warriors are fighters that operate outside of the rigid structures of armies. Whether they are caste-members of tribes or street-trained brutes, they are characterized by a singular power that becomes impossible to ignore on the battlefield.
