Fist of Order

The Fist of Order is a Kit for the Fighter. A Kensai with half the THAC0 & damage bonuses and no Weapon Mastery but no armour or weapon restrictions, or a Fighter who can excel with any weapon, The Fist of Order might seem a bit strange but especially for new players it is an excellent class as it requires very little knowledge of what weapons are available. Indeed, the THAC0 and damage bonuses even trump Weapon Mastery once you reach level 12, you only miss the -1 Speed Factor. The Fist of Order is part of the Sword and Fist mod and can be installed on its own.

Official description
While many view the Fists simply as efficient (if brutal) mercenaries, they are in fact templars sworn to the service of their unforgiving deities--typically Iyachtu Xvim, son of the dead Bane, Lord of Tyranny. Members are also sometimes found among other militaristic and Lawful faiths, such as that of Helm. The world is a dark and unforgiving place, or so says the Church of Xvim, wherein the strong survive by ruling the weak and forging order from the chaos. To support its dogma, the Church established this elite company of templars and made them available for hire to those whose causes complemented the Church's ultimate goals (and who could, naturally, afford to pay the hefty tithes necessary to maintain a crack unit of well-armed and well-trained men and women). The Fists are infamous for their efficient brutality: nowhere will an employer in need of military aid locate mercenaries more dedicated to ensuring that the rule of law prevails over the forces of anarchy and confusion.
