The Warrior's Skills
      WarriorThe warrior learns how to wield weapons with precisionand ease, capable of wielding any type of weapon, and of attacking several times per fighting round. They can also use combat skills to make hand-to-hand attacks during battle, using their feet, hands and heads as dangerous weapons. A warrior's armor and weapons are of the utmost importance, and training in the arts of weaponry can become very valuable. Warriors know nothing of magic and skills outside of combat training, except for a few skills that are only learned out of necessity, such as healing and hunting.

      Skills can be learned in the various warrior guilds and training grounds across the Realms.  To learn a skill, find the powerful tome of knowledge that contains that skill's wisdom.  Reading it will teach the basics of the skill. Further knowledge can be gained when a warrior advances in levels (refer to the intelligence chart). The chart below shows the limitations warriors have when learning their skills.

      **Max % to know skill is the maximum percent chance that warriors can have to successfully use a skill (never 100%).  Maximum and Minimum % gain per level is the most and least percent of the skill's knowledge you can gain per level, determined within this range by your intelligence.
