# Fighter: Hollow Knight Traveling in somber settings sometimes requires one to harness not just their physical strength but their inner strength as well. With the Hollow Knight Fighter archetype you harness your will power in order to overcome the obstacles laid before you. ## Hollow Soul Starting at 3rd level when you follow this archetype you are able to muster the power of your soul to empower you further. This is represented by a number of soul points you have. You can spend these points to fuel various soul spells at your disposal. You start with 3 soul spells Vengeful Spirit, Desolate Dive, and Hollowing Wraiths to start. As you gain levels in this class you will have access to more soul spells. ***Soul Points.*** You start with 4 soul points and gain an extra one at 7th level and one more at 15th level. Once a soul point is used it will be unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you gain all soul points back. *****Soul Spell Casting.***** Wisdom is your spellcasting modifier for your soul spells, since these spells rely on the strength of your will power.
