Next to him, the brutal warrior Nanoc was fearlessly shooting arrows at the assaulting orcs. Strangely, he seemed to hit everytime, even though he had barely touched a bow before in his life. Nanoc used to swing axes, for Pelor's sake, but now that mean little goblin had stolen their stuff. And Aryan was had trained with bows since he was a child, yet his arrows hit only half of the time. It just wasn't fair! Well, I figured one solution to the abovementioned problem would be to have specialization schools for fighters, just like wizards can specialize in schools of magic, so I made a little text on fighter specialization. Feel free to rip it apart. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> And BTW, I'm new here. Hi!Right, here goes (And yes, the first paragraph is stolen right from the PHB section on wizard specialization):A specialisation is one of eight groupings of weapons, each defined by a common theme, such as brawling or stabbing. A fighter may specialize in one kind of weapons (see below). Specialization allows a fighter to fight better with the weapons from the chosen school, but the fighter then doesn't learn to use weapons from one other school. Essentially, the fighter gains exceptional mastery over a single school by neglecting the study of another school. The fighter must choose whether to specialize and how at 1st level. He may not change his specialization later.The fighter is non-proficient (-4 to attack rolls) with the use of the weapons of the other school (chosen at the same time as the specialization school), but has Weapon Focus (+1 to attack rolls) with the weapons of his specialist school. The eight schools of fighting are Stabber, Slasher, Trapper, Archer, Crusher, Spearman, Brawler and Axe-wielder.The schools:StabberThe stabber specializes in small, light weapons. Common among assassins and the like.Weapons:DaggerSword, shortRapierKukriSickleDartShurikenSlasherThe slasher uses large weapons that cut the enemies in pieces.
