Preferred Races
Hill Orc, Minotaur, Gargoyle, Troll, Palentonga and Deep Dwarf are the recommended races if you pick a Fighter Background.
Starting Equipment
Some species may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.
- +0 weapon of choice (rapier, flail, war axe, trident, long sword, or unarmed)
- Formicids can choose to recieve a quarterstaff.
- +0 scale mail
- +0 kite shield

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 or Chaos Knights, Fighters are free to choose any god they like, including those you cannot start the game with!
History
- In 0.28, fighters will start with a buckler instead of a kite shield. Trolls and Ogres will keep their starting kite shields, though.
- Prior to 0.14, fighters did not start with a potion of might and most starting weapons were of a lower tier: short sword instead of cutlass, mace instead of flail, hand axe instead of war axe, and falchion instead of long sword. They also started with 20 gold.
