Trainer for the Art of Fighting



Even the most seasoned fighters need training to improve themselves, while new fighters need to learn the basics of battle and weapon skills. For this reason, there are trainers for fighting skills in every towne of Britannia.

However, the fighter should inform himself/herself first, what kind of training the trainer offers. Some train in dexterity, others in strength or combat finesse. The smart traveller will compare the prices and training methods of the trainers, to find the ones who fits best to his/her fighting style, or can reduce existing weaknesses.

History
Trainers actually came into being very late, with Ultima VII, but stayed after that.

Lore
''The world beyond the cities - and sometimes within - can be a violent place. Many monstrosities indigenous to the Serpent Isle have a bloodthirsty hatred for humans, and even some non-sentient plants have lethal forms of protection. Fighters take up arms and armour to do battle with foes both natural and otherworldly. Some warriors travel great distances to receive proper training. Others learn directly upon the battlefield of life. Fighters discover early the importance of strength, agility and perception, else they die. Skilled with many weapons, fighters compose the bulk of the adventure-minded population and are often the protectors of entire communities.''
