Fighter Class

A sword-wielding class based off the Figher class from the tabletop RPG Pathfinder.

Skill trees are split into Offensive and Tank skills. Offensive skills focus on dealing damage, Tank skills focus on absorbing hits and evading shots.

Abilities:
Squaddie:
Armor Training: The Fighter starts with 10 defense and 1 armor. Defense increases by 3 per promotion, except on Captain, where armor goes up by 1 instead.

Offense:
Weapon Focus: +10 melee aim.

Weapon Specialization: +2 melee damage.

Bladestorm, as the Ranger ability. Free sword strikes on enemies that enter melee range or act within it.

Sunder: As a normal attack, except that it shreds 2 armor per weapon tier, with a 3 turn cooldown.

Improved Critical: +20 critical chance.

Weapon Mastery: +20 melee aim, +4 melee damage.

Tank:
Armor Focus: +10 extra defense and +1 extra armor.

Lightning Reflexes: each turn, the first reaction shot against you misses

Fortress, as the Psi Operative ability. Fighter becomes immune to Acid, Fire, Poison, and Explosions.

Protect Squad: Gives all allies within a radius a shield effect, as the Advent Shieldbearer ability.

Sustain, as the Psi Operative ability. The user can withstand fatal damage by entering stasis, leaving them with 1 HP.

Sacrifice, as the Spark ability. Redirects all fire in an area to the user, giving them bonus armor and defense in the process.

Feedback is appreciated! Is the class so strong that it makes Legend a cakewalk? Is it so weak that it isn't viable on Rookie? Leave a comment with any balance concerns.

Requires Primary Secondaries by Mushashi. Compatible with Dual Wield Melee and Ballistic Shields.

Due to some vanilla code borrowed from Shen's Last Gift, I'm marking it as a required DLC. I've not tested the mod without said DLC installed / owned.
