Requirements: Novice, Strength d6+, Athletics, Fighting, or Shooting d6+
Some take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weaponcraft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle in the forge of war.
Lords of the battlefield, fighters are a disparate lot. Some train with many weapons; some prefer just one. Whatever their tactics, fighters excel at combat. They protect their own and defeat their enemies, rarely shying away from battle. They often lead the charge, a role they relish even if they don’t insist on it.
These skilled warriors turn hunks of metal into arms capable of taming kingdoms, slaughtering monsters, and rousing the hearts of armies. Woe to those who dare stand against them

The hero is a master at one type of weapon (such as longswords, composite bows, or daggers). When using a weapon he is specialized in, the fighter gets a free reroll on damage rolls if he fails to at least Shake his target (before Soak rolls are made). A character can take this Edge multiple times, but he must choose a different type of weapon each time the Edge is taken.
Requirements: Veteran, Fighter
The fighter gains the benefits of two Combat Edges (subject to the usual restrictions of Martial Flexibility). He may choose both Combat Edges at the same time, or choose the second Edge as a separate limited free action in a subsequent turn.

The fighter gets a free reroll on any failed Athletics (throwing), Fighting, or Shooting roll.
