Weaponmaster

Weaponmaster as a class
The weaponmaster is a very specialized Fighter. The strengths of the weaponmaster are enormous, and in many cases and interpretations on the edge of broken. However, these strengths are not without the cost of serious disadvantages. Without severe DP or CP investment, the weaponmaster falls severely behind with Ki abilities, and often relies on others for support against creatures able to avoid purely physical damage.

Pros

 * +20 life points per level, making the class innately more tough than any other.
 * a Life Point Multiple cost of 10, making this class extremely efficient in buying extra LP
 * a ratio of 1 in all vigor secondary abilities, as well as +5 Feats of Strength per level.
 * a ratio of 1 in the Wear Armor primary ability.
 * +5 attack and +5 block per level, making the weaponmaster an extremely capable fighter on top of maximum combat DP expenditure.
 * +10 wear armor per level. Combined with the lowered cost, this allows the weaponmaster to wear even the heaviest armors with ease at later levels.
 * Can buy weapon modules, Archetypical Weapon modules (e.g. all swords), and style modules at 1/2 their normal cost in DP.

Cons

 * +5 initiative per level, the minimum amount given to any class
 * +10 martial knowledge per level, the lowest of any fighter class by far. This is on par with a Wizard or other non-physical combat class.
 * a ratio of 3 on Ki, the worst possible.
 * a ratio of 30 on Ki accumulations, the worst possible.
