The Warrior is a melee-focused starting class with higher strength than other classes.

• Starting HP: 20 (highest among all classes)
• Starting STR: 11 (vs 10 for other classes)
• Starting Equipment:
  • Short Sword (identified) - A unique sword that can be “reforged” to upgrade another melee weapon
  • Cloth Armor (identified) - Provides basic protection
  • 100 Gold
  • Ration (in backpack for non-expert mode)
  • Body Armor spell (in quickslot)
  • Potion of Strength (known item, already identified)
• Magic Affinity: Combat

The Warrior class has the following mechanical perks in the current code:

• 11 Strength: Starts with 11 points of Strength (vs 10 for other classes)
• Unique Short Sword: Starts with a unique short sword that can be later “reforged” to upgrade another melee weapon
• Food Healing: Any piece of food restores 5 health when eaten (not applicable if HP is already full) - only applies to Warrior class
• Identified Strength Potions: Potions of Strength are identified from the beginning

According to the game's string resources, Warrior is also supposed to have a “Missile Disadvantage” perk, but this has no actual mechanical implementation in the current code. This appears to be either a planned feature that was not implemented or outdated documentation.
