This article complies with version 0.94 of Runarcana RPG

The constant attack had already lasted for hours, the captain's orders were to remain quiet while the infantry took care of this first wave, but something inside her said that he was wrong, she got up from the trench and saw that her forces were being crushed and fewer and fewer soldiers were managing to even wield a sword.

The court-martial was no longer a fear, if the tide did not turn she would have no neck to save, she rose and went to her captain and took hold of his collar, pulling his face down and saying with resolution that she would not be watching her compatriots dying for nothing.

Ignoring the captain's protests, throwing him as far as she could, she picked up her shield, sheathed her sword and leapt out of the trench. She passed by some bodies on the ground, just ahead she saw one of the most skilled soldiers already fatigued and barely managing to hold back attacks made against him by two of the enemies. A shield blow threw the first one away, with the opening, she knocked the second one down with a kick, threw the sword at him eliminating and managed to slap the tired soldier on the back, praised the good work and pointed to a distant spot where there were three soldiers surrounded by a battalion, invited him to change the tide with her and a renewed spirit took over the soldier. For some reason, he knew that the victory that day would be theirs, headed by that strong and beautiful woman who had just saved his life. He took a deep breath, adjusted his armor and together they ran towards the three soldiers. That action was seen by many other soldiers who managed to remember that they were not alone, the Guardian had managed, as many winters before, to turn the tide of battle, as she had seen Braum do as naturally as snowflakes fell on his mustache.

There are many ways for a combatant to start his training, some are trained early on by an instructor, others end up finding themselves in a circumstance where they need to adapt.

Usually they are the combat specialists that make up most of the armies, but they are not limited to that, the guardian may very well have an origin in an army as well, but have chosen to follow the path of protection, or even that centurion capable of directing rune energy into your attacks are also part of this class.

Experts with some weapons but skilled with all of them, combatants direct their strength as driving energy and are capable of impressive feats with the weapons of their specialty.

Of all the classes, combatants are the most specialized in both warfare and general strategy due to their experience and learnings of combat tactics.

While other classes make use of arcane powers or subterfuges such as stalking, combatants train their bodies to gain agility and, above all, strength, which is, in turn, the result of an improvement in both speed and body constitution.

Code of Honor

Each combatant knows what his honor is, the path he has followed based on the values he has with him and which have shaped his actions and conduct. This honor is a personal code that connects to a way to improve as a combatant, some want to elevate their physical bodies to the extremes, maximizing their capabilities, others dedicate their entire being to protect something or someone.

The honor of each combatant, although it may be reflected in that of others, is unique. A soldier who respects the hierarchy can do so because he has invested his word in it, or even because he believes in his nation, but it can also be the result of a devotion to someone specific, in any case, Honor remains the most important parameter for the path of a combatant.

However, Honor can be something much more conceptual, as in the case of Rune Centurions who develop their combat path by combining magic with their physical prowess, some of them may do so with a focus on going beyond ordinary human capabilities, others may to do so because they have a particular view of nature and the world.

Unique Stories

Upon following an honor, the combatant is not necessarily bound to all the values connected to it, as for example in the case of the Soldier, a combatant can very well follow that honor without ever having been part of an army, but he shares much of the a soldier's mentality and way of acting.

The individuality of each combatant ends up being the result especially of their experiences, in the case of a soldier, although he may have the same principle as others in the same army or battalion, his individual experiences may incline him to other paths, at times this it can be the watershed between being the survivor or suffering as just another one.

Each combatant has a reason to hold a sword or a shield in his hands, this reason can be the great driving force of his conduct and the way he sees his honor and his code of conduct, perhaps he has risen as a survivor, perhaps he was trained for it or maybe he just started dedicating himself to it in search of a better life.

Just as the stories are unique, so are the relationships with your weapons, they are not just utensils, but become an extension of your body, whether they be family heirlooms, magical weapons found on your journeys or the first one you found on your journey. way to defend yourself.

Creating a Combatant

When you are building a Combatant character, think about the nature of your training, did it come about because of your participation in the army? Or did you need to learn because you were thrown into an arena? Do you come from a warrior nation like Noxus or Demacia? Or did you need to find a way to defend yourself from the wild and merciless creatures of the Freljord?

Also think about how you got your weapons, is it a family heirloom or did you steal it from someone? Do you follow any honor codes? What made you become an adventurer? By answering these questions you can have a well-defined background for your character.

Quick Build

You can build a Combatant quickly by following these suggestions. First, put your highest ability score on Strength or Dexterity, depending on whether you're going to focus on melee or ranged combat, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the Soldier or Gladiator Past.
