In a historical Viking setting, warriors are the most commonly encountered group of characters. In the legends of the Norsemen, freedmen of all stations were commonly parttime raiders and so were skilled with the sword, spear, and sometimes bow. In addition, the sagas tell tales of exceptional warriors, men noted for their courage, skills, cunning, and even mystical powers.
In a Viking campaign, the Warrior group includes fighters, rangers, berserkers, and runecasters. These last two are unique to the Viking world and should only be used in such settings. At the other extreme, paladins are not appropriate to a Viking campaign and should not be used without special considerations. Descriptions of how each warrior class fits into the campaign and any pertinent changes that must be made are given here.
