Version 0.31: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
Fighters usually start with a good weapon, a suit of heavy armour, a shield and a potion of might. They have a good general grounding in the arts of fighting.

Preferred Species

Hill Orc, Minotaur, Gargoyle, Troll, Armataur and Formicid are the recommended races if you pick a Fighter Background.

Starting Equipment

Some species may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.

Starting Skills and Stats

Adjusted for your species' aptitudes:

Choosing Fighter adds 8 to your starting Strength and 4 to your starting Dexterity.

Strategy

While Fighters may seem weak or "generic" compared to the more exotic backgrounds, remember that your background is only your starting package. Unlike, say, Berserkers, Fighters are free to choose any god they like, like all those you cannot start the game with!
