Raider

Raider (1.2) Adventurer Class

Also known as Reavers, Skirmishers, or Light Infantry, these warriors are often the skirge of an area. Sometimes seen in Reman auxiliary units, Norse raiding vessels, Greek quick attack units, or Orc war bands. They are as quick as they are deadly.

Playing the Raider

The Raider class does well in combat when fighting alongside a group, especially with other Raiders. This character class only wears light armor, if any, and has a selection of small and light weapons to choose from. If you want a martial class that is fast moving and wears little or no armor this is the class for you!

Armor Allowed: Light (Level 1)
Weapons Allowed: Knife, Dagger, Stick, Club, One-Handed Ax, Shortsword, Throwing Axe (3x/day)
