The role of the fighter is less common among the goblins than it is among some of the other races; Oubre and Bellin tend to focus on history, lore, and spiritual matters over more martial pursuits. There are, of course, some who take up arms to follow the path of the fighter, protecting their fellow goblins from harm, or striking out against the enemies of their people. The Bellin tend to be more aggressive and combative than the Oubre, and have developed a few fighting styles that are unique to the Lugalate of Nur. In fact, the concept of the ancestral warglove originated among the Bellin, who are truly the only race that know how to wield the weapon to its full potential.
Lugalate Charioteer (Variant): A fighting style that fell out of favor among the more populous human city-states in the area, the art of mounted chariot fighting is still practiced in Nur. The Bellin have spent a great deal of time and effort to make their chartioteers an indispensable part of their cavalry forces, breeding special desert warhorses to pull the chariots and crafting the perfect javelin, balanced for throwing from a fast-moving chariot. The site of a squadron of Bellin Charioteers bearing down on an enemy's front lines is enough to shake the morale of even the most seasoned veterans.

Monk
The Oubre have never delved too deeply into the martial arts, but among the Bellin, mystic warriors play an important role in the protection of the Lugal. Many of the secrets of Bellin martial arts are lost in the distant past, but the Bellin maintain that their combat styles are the most pure of all the modern day schools. The grandmasters of the Bellin style claim that they have traced the lineage of their style back into the depths of pre-history and that all other styles are merely poor imitations of the Bellin style. Whether this is true or not will certainly never be discovered. Regardless, few would argue that the Bellin monks are some of the most talented and dangerous hand-to-hand combatants of the age.
Incarnate (Variant): Part of the Lugalate's well-trained army includes an order of monks, the Incarnates, spiritual martial artists who worship the Lugal as a deity and swear unswerving loyalty to protecting him, his family, and the state. They are protectors of the Lugal, guides, and mystic wanderers. Their combat style is very aggressive and focused more on intimidation and offense than defense and serenity. They exercise and practice constantly, and also conduct elaborate rituals that involve the ringing of bells, tests of endurance, and sensory-heightening drug use. The Incarnates do not necessarily report to the Lugal; they simply believe that it is their sacred duty to protect him. Six of their number are always assigned to the Lugal's side. If one dies, he is quietly replaced by another member of the Order. They seldom speak, preferring to let their combat skills do the communicating for them.
Suggested Skills: Intimidate, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, Survival
Suggested Feats: Incite Passion: Protection of the Lugal; The Stare; Arrow Shield (Quintessential Wizard)
Suggested PrCs: Nur Incarnate (Custom)
Paladin
The concept of the holy warrior is uncommon among both the Oubre and the Bellin. Although many Bellin warriors have a strong faith in the Lugal as a godly priest-king, they do not meet the alignment restrictions to qualify for the Paladin class. Similarly, the Oubre are much more attuned to maintaining the balance of the divine aspect of nature than they are of being champions of law and good. However, certain Oubre have been known to forego the traditional nature beliefs of their people and instead feel that they have been called to help defend their fellow creatures from the evil of the day. Most of their Oubre champions focus on the more peaceful aspects of law and good rather than the martial aspects.
Faith Healer (Variant): These wandering ascetics among the Oubre believe that all life is worth saving, and focus on developing their healing abilities above all other pursuits. Although faith healers do receive some combat training, they use their martials skills for defense only. Oubre faith healers do not necessarily follow specific religious teachings, choosing instead to follow the teachings of whatever is the main faith in their area. Therefore, AEtonists, Holems, and Bhuwanis all claim Oubre faith healers among their members.
