Valkyrie

A profession open only to female characters, the Valkyrie is a first-rate lance warrior. Her knowledge of weapons is vast and her spirit for combat is great. Around the fifth level of ability, Valkyries begin the study of Priest spells. Although no one is certain how she does it, the Valkyrie also has the unique ability to cheat death.

Additional Info: The Special Ability of the Valkryie to Cheat Death occurs quite often in my experience. I'm sure game difficulty setting may affect this ability but for the most part a Valkryie can and will cheat death almost every time it tries to take her. However she will be left in an unconscious state and in need of revival. Be sure to keep a nice supply of smelling salts on hand.
