| Background: Background Saemund recently claimed two powerful Varic artifacts as spoils of battle with the Kor-Daen tribe's Cheif and entourage. Saemund slew both Chief Gragnek and one of his Champions in this process, earning the eternal emnity of the Kor-Daen tribe. That aside, the items are a mighty two-handed pick called Spitze that in addition to being a fell weapon can magically excavate stone and earth; and a beautifully detailed shield named Vushte that has a number of impressive and potent protective abilities. Unfortunately for Saemund they can't be used simultaneously due to the two-handed nature of the Pick. Thus far Saemund, in accordance with his fighting style, has preferred to use the Shield and keeps the Pick locked up using it for its excavation ability rather than as a weapon. |
|||
| Campaign Use: Heavy Infantry / Armiger. Rather than specializing with one weapon, Saemund is equally good with all standard weapons and the exotic war chain. An expert at the crafting of weapons and armor, he uses his knowledge of what weapons work best versus different armors to good effect and switches weapons when possible to give himself the best advantage. Using his Takeaway manuever, he is not above swiping a weapon off of someone else in battle either. Saemund fights defensively at all times, keeping his balance and guard up. Saemund uses his great strength to weild many hand to hand weapons that normally take two hands with only one hand, weilding a sturdy shield in the other. He is also adept at using a shield as a weapon for devastating shield bashes and also as part of a Shove, hurling foes away from him when he is pressed and needs room to manuever. |
