Warrior of Resolve
This class is available as Open Game Content.
Back to main page.

Description:
Some warriors in the world have the capacity to continue fighting well beyond that which would break any other man. For their resolve is so strong that the physical no longer concerns them. Where do they get this resolve? Perhaps a god watches over them, perhaps a past traumatic experience changed them, or perhaps they fight for a cause so important that they simply choose not to die. No matter where their resolve comes from, to fight such a warrior is to push a boulder up an ever-steeping slope. If you knock him down, he will get back up. If you wound him deeply, he will not bleed. And even as you beat his body, he only seems to get stronger.
