[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 5072248, member: 467"] Because post-apocalyptic adventure and sword and sorcery are so closely related as genres, the transition from one to the other should be fairly easy (and fun!). For example: soldier Some take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weaponcraft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle in the forge of war. Lords of the battlefield, soldiers are a disparate lot, training with many weapons or just one, perfecting the making and uses of armor, learning the fighting techniques of exotic masters, and studying the art of combat, all to shape themselves into living weapons. Far more than mere thugs, these skilled warriors reveal the true deadliness of their weapons, turning hunks of metal into arms capable of taming kingdoms, slaughtering mutants, and rousing the hearts of whole tribes. Mercenaries, shock troops, hunters, and artists of war, soldiers are unparalleled champions, and woe to those who dare stand against them.
