style="font-family: tahoma;">The Master At Arms

By
Darkgolem



The Master At Arm is just what his
name implies, an expert with almost all weapons.  Wish to fight
with a two handed weapon, the master at arms is competent.  Wish
to fight with two weapons?  Yep, he's or she's got that. 
Perhaps preferring to fight at range?  The master (or mistress) at
arms is ready and capable.  Like to fight with an exotic or unique
weapon?  Chances are that it's no problem. style="font-family: tahoma;">



While not a defensive master (with href="http://ddo.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=45">feats
being used for learning how to handle weapons well) the master at arms
is an expert at offensive combat.  When a unusual weapon (or a
regular one, for that matter) is found, they can take it up and score
deadly hits with their improved critical skill and weapon focus. 
In addition, since the demand for unusual weapons is not as high as
more conventional weapons, it is less expensive to buy these weapons.



However, in addition to fighting abilities, this combatant is skilled
at href="http://ddo.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=317">stealth
and movement, able to swim, sneak and jump much better than many other
warriors.
