Base Class: Barbarian
A retiarius was a gladiator who fought with equipment styled on that of a fisherman: a weighted net, a three-pointed trident, and a dagger. The retiarius was lightly armoured, wearing an arm guard and a shoulder guard, or wore no armour at all. In skilled hands, the net was a useful weapon. The retiarius's primary objective with it was to capture his opponent. A successful cast of the net could win the battle for the retiarius straightaway.
