Fighters draw Power from the Primal energy within themselves, pushing their minds and bodies to the absolute limit in the midst of combat. Their mastery of maneuver usage and general martial combat effectiveness make them a premiere melee or ranged warrior with a very active playstyle. Fighter Archetypes enhances the basic warrior with unique maneuvers and a focus on reliable damage, tanking, or support roles.

Maximizing Strength or Dexterity is recommended for attacking with weapons and using most Maneuvers like Knockdown. It also provides bonuses to your Fortitude or Reflex save.
Dexterity allows you to maximize Armor Class from light/medium armors and improves your Reflex save.
Constitution increases your survivability in raw hit points and contributing to your Fortitude save.
Intelligence contributes to your maximum Maneuver pool and Reflex save.
Wisdom contributes to your Will save.
Charisma contributes to your Will save and support Maneuvers such as "Commander Strike".

4 Hard Corps When using a Maneuver, you grant the effects of your Hard Target class feature to all allies within 10m of you for 1 + Charisma modifier rounds.
7 Lead by Example When you expend a Maneuver, allies within 10m of you receive the effects of your Precision class feature for a number of rounds equal to 1 + Charisma modifier.
10 Rally You gain access to a unique Maneuver, Rally. This targets one ally. That ally is cleared of any negative effects, receives a damage bonus equal to 1 + Charisma modifier (minimum 1) for one minute, and gains temporary hit points equivalent to the healing value of a Cure Moderate Wounds spell. When these temporary hitpoints are lost, the damage bonus is also lost. If at or below 0 hit points, the target is also revived as if by a Raise Dead spell.
