Men-at-arms are trained combatants who serve as guards, mercenaries, militia members, or professional warriors. While they lack the specialized combat techniques of fighters, men-at-arms possess the training and discipline necessary to fight effectively in battle. Many serve in organized military units, city watches, or private armies. Though often overlooked beside legendary heroes, soldiers make up the ranks that defend cities, kingdoms, and caravans across the world.
WARNING: Man-At-Arms is considered a non-adventuring class that can only be selected at 1st level. Characters who begin their careers as Men-At-Arms gain reduced experience from creature kills and adventuring writs, reflecting their role as trained guards and rank-and-file warriors rather than wandering adventurers. Choosing Man-At-Arms as your starting class will also limit your multiclassing options later in your career.
