Violence has been your life for as long as you care to remember. You've always lived in the arena and have learned how to survive the toughest conditions. Pit fighters have been born and raised to do nothing but fight for their lives. They are known to be toughened and battle hardened warriors, not really knowing much else other than violence itself.
- Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Intimidation, Performance, Survival
- Equipment: A trophy taken from a fallen enemy (a dagger, broken blade, or piece of a banner) and a set of common clothes.
Feature: Fight Seeker
You can always find a place to fight and a challenger. You recognize and can find any place that contains a pit fighting ring, perhaps at an illegal pit fighting club or a gladiator arena. Strangers hold you to high expectations and pit fighters receive large praise after victory but will be rejected strongly after a loss.
Suggested Characteristics
The horrors of battle with the pressure to survive have left a scar on pit fighters, making them slow on trusting others. They are independent and will not respect others until they do something to prove themselves to the Pit Fighter.
