"A soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick to quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth."
- Shakespeare, "As You Like It"
They lead the way and take the lumps. When it all falls apart, they cover the retreat. Some live for a cause; some die for it. They are warriors.
The warrior is the backbone of every adventure group. GURPS Warriors gives you 29 fighter templates, letting you quickly create the warrior that's right for you. No two need be the same.
Templates include . . .
* Soldiers from all time periods - past, present, and future - such as the aviator, cavalryman, commando, heavy foot soldier, marine, and rifleman . . .
* Warriors from the pages of history and literature, including the barbarian, berserker, gunslinger, holy warrior, martial artist, and swordsman . . .
* Specialists like the archer, engineer, guard, guerrilla, sharpshooter, and scout . . .
* High tech fighters like the artillerist, aviator, mecha pilot, and naval crewman.
Each template comes with four complete characters, drawn from a wide range of settings. All told, you get 116 ready-to-use sample characters, as well as historical background and information on the technology and tactics that shaped their professions.
A thousand victories await you . . .
GURPS Basic Set and Compendium I: Character Creation are required to intrepret the templates and character statistics in this book. Certain templates are more useful when used in conjunction with Magic, Martial Arts and Supers. The essays on the roles of warriors in legend and fiction are useful no matter what game you play. |
