PROFICIENCIES: Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons, Light Armor, Medium Armor, Heavy Armor, Shields, Tower Shields, One Exotic Weapon, Armor or Shield.

FIGHTER TALENT: At first level, second level, and every two levels afterward, you recieve a Fighter Talent, which you may select from the Fighter Talent list (below).

COMBAT FOCUS (EX): Once per round, when you successfully attack an enemy and do damage, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your level.

METTLE (Ex): If the fighter makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping fighter does not gain the benefit of mettle

MASTER OF ARMS AND ARMOR (EX): Any weapon, armor or shield you wear or wield is treated as having an enhancement bonus of +1, unless its enhancement bonus is already higher. This improves by +1 at level 7, 11, 15 and 19. This allows you to penetrate DR/magic. Any feat that applies only to a single weapon, armor, or shield (Such as Weapon Focus) applies to any weapon, shield or armor that you are proficient with.

UNCANNY DODGE (EX): The fighter retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.
	If a fighter already has uncanny dodge from a different class (a fighter with at least four levels of rogue, for example), he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.

COMBAT MOBILITY (EX): The fighter ignores all movement penalties from Armor. Additionally he adds his Master of Arms and Armor bonus to his Maximum Dex Bonus and subtracts it from his Armor Check Penalty

HUSTLE (EX): At level 6 a fighter may take a move action as a swift action. At level 18 the fighter may instead take a standard action as a swift action.

DEFLECT (EX): The fighter retains his Armor and Shield bonus to AC (if any) even if he is targed by a touch attack or struck by an incorporeal creature or Brilliant Energy weapon. However, such attacks may still bypass his Armor and Shield bonus if he is immobilized.

COMBAT SUPERIORITY (EX): You gain an attack of opportunity whenever an enemy attempts to bullrush, disarm, feint, grapple, overrun, sunder or trip you, even if the enemy has a feat or special ability that would normally bypass the attack. If your attack is successful you may add half your class level to the opposed roll to resist the maneuver. This feature does not give you extra attacks of opportunity during a round or allow you to make an attack of opportunity when you would be denied one for being surprised, helpless, or in a similar situation.

TOUGH AS NAILS (EX): The fighter no longer counts a natural 1 on a saving throw an automatic failure. She also gains a bonus equal to her Wisdom bonus (if any) to Fortitude Saves, and her Constitution bonus (if any) to Will Saves.

IMPROVED UNCANNY DODGE (EX): The fighter can no longer be flanked; he can react to opponents on opposite sides of him as easily as he can react to a single attacker. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the fighter, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has fighter levels.
	If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a rogue must be to sneak attack the character.

COMBAT RELIABILITY (EX): The fighter no longer counts a natural 1 on an attack roll an automatic failure. He also automatically confirms all critical threats. Only natural 20s count as an automatic hit, however, and so it is possible to miss on a critical threat.

IMPROVED METTLE (EX): This ability works like mettle, except that while the fighter still takes no effect on a successful fortitude or willpower throw against attacks that would have a lesser effect on a successful save, she henceforth takes only the lesser effect on a failed save. A helpless fighter (such as one that is unconcious or paralysed) does not gain the benefit of improved mettle.

IMPROVED DEFLECT (EX): If the fighter is wearing armor or wielding a shield, it is considered to have the Heavy Fortification enhancement. This defense denies enemies the ability to make critical hits or deal precision damage against the fighter, unless the attacker has at least four more character levels than the target has fighter levels.

COMBAT MASTERY (EX): The fighter increases the critical multiplier of any weapon he wields by +1. If he scores a critical hit against an enemy who is immune to critical hits, he still multiplies his damage, however he does not gain the +1 critical multiplier bonus from this class feature.

LORD OF WAR (EX): All the fighter's iterative attacks are made at his full attack bonus.
