The Strider Archetype for Fighters
Many soldiers and fighters travel the lands alone; however¸ few truly have the skills and training to survive on their own. The Strider has the experience and tools to survive in any conditions. A master of the bow¸ they travel the lands in search of their next meal and whatever else may drive their adventures. Some find themselves working as mercenaries¸ and others act as spies and scouts. A select few explore the forgotten corners of the world as treasure seekers. Lacking the magics of their Ranger brethren¸ Striders often rely upon their combat prowess to survive. With years of experience behind the bow¸ they have mastered the art of aim and focus. While not inept with the blade¸ they are best utilized at a distance. Their grit and determination can bend the tides of battle. This archetype focuses on ranged combat but offers the skills to master wildlands¸ forests¸ and hills. The Fletcher's Kit gives the Strider access to specialized arrows for unique occasions. While many act as stoic loners¸ Striders come in all shapes and sizes. Regardless of what drew you to this path¸ pull up your quiver¸ and set off on the beaten path.
