[QUOTE="Monayuris, post: 7844573, member: 6859536"] My 1st level fighter in my current game is a veteran of several battles before he went AWOL after deciding it wasn't worth risking his life for some nobile. This is a subjective thing that is going to vary from group to group. An apprentice adventurer can be skilled and experienced at whatever their previous endeavors were. Hence we have the Background system. A 15 year old farm boy and a 42 year old combat veteran can both be 1st level fighters. One is clearly a veteran in terms of their past experiences. The Fighter class at first level grants abilities that suggest that they are more capable than a typical guard or soldier. This implies experience. The 1st level fighter is, by no means, a special forces operative, but they have the capabilities of one who was tested in battle. I see them as those who have been through it and their Second Wind reflects their resilience to continue on by drawing on their experience. [/QUOTE]
