Champion

- Class Difficulty: Basic
- Role: Damage
- Gameplay: Champions wade into battle swinging their weapons in all directions, dealing significant damage to many foes at once. With each strike, their Fervour grows, allowing them to use even more potent skills. Special stances may be used to greatly increase damage dealt at the cost of defence, or enhance defence at the cost of the damage. In Fellowships, a Champion concentrates on engaging as many foes as possible.
- Lore: Unrelenting in battle, Champions are the consummate warriors. A Champion cares not for his or her own well-being, but relies instead on strength and prowess to slay the Enemy before they can bring further destruction to Middle-earth.
- This class is inspired by Gimli son of Glóin, whose skill in arms matched the bow-skills of Legolas.

Role in a Fellowship
The Champion's primary role in a Fellowship is to inflict damage to multiple targets while interrupting channeled abilities with Clobber. He also has abilities designed for tanking, allowing him to fill the role of an off-tank or even the fellowship's main tank in easier encounters and raids. While he does have some emergency crowd-control in the form of Horn of Gondor and Champion horns, crowd-control is not one of his primary or secondary roles in a Fellowship.
Fervour
Fervour is required in addition to Power for the Champion's most powerful attacks. On entering combat, the Champion will have no Fervour. Skills such as Wild Attack and Swift Strike build up to 5 Fervour, which can be expended on skills such as Brutal Strikes or Blade-storm. Different skills cost different amounts of Fervour, ranging from 1 to all 5 pips per skill.

Mounted Combat Skills
These skills can be used only while riding a war-steed, and only while in the regions of East Rohan, Wildermore, and West Rohan. Passive skills which improve the war-steed's defensive capabilities remain effective even in other regions, but serve only to prevent forced dismount due to enemy attacks.
