This page is specifically for fighters in Baldur's Gate. See Fighter for the version of this class in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Fighters are the most simple warrior class of the three, because they have no active special abilities. Just like rangers and paladins, they have wide array of weapons and armor they can use. Their only character ability is Strength. The advanced weapon specialization allows them to spend over two points on weapons skills, which no other class can do, making them the best weapon specialist. Due to their simplicity, they don't require much micro-managing.
