Fighter
Base Class: Fighter

A slight click is the only sound audible in the room, the orc raider didn't see the warrior draw his blade, but he was filled with dread and physical pain as they slowly sheathed it. He looked around as he slowly fell to the floor, of the six raiders he had brought into the building, none had survived the warriors odd attack. He was missing both a arm and leg himself, the warrior slowly moved past them, after all no threats remained, and there were other raiders that need removal from the town.

A fighter who learns the radiant blade fighting style draw out the full power of single handed swords, most practitioners of this style of combat often use it as a spectacle, participating in public duels with other sword masters to prove it's superior strength. While the style is rumored to have six forms, most practitioners only manage to learn one or two, this is most likely due to the fact that each member must alter each form to suit their preferred blade type, drastically increasing the time needed to master each one. Those who manage to overcome the challenges of this style are rumored to have gained amazing powers, including moving to opponents in the blink of an eye, infuse radiant energy into their weapons, and even cause radiant slashes to hit foes at a distance. Most first hand accounts of such swordsmen/swordswomen are often unreliable as they come from unreliable sources.
