Human Forge Knight, Level 3 Elite Soldier

[Kaodi]

Every would be king or conqueror needs a force of elite warriors to form the backbone of their army. The forge knight, in addition to being a seasoned veteran, has been drilled in a number of arcane fire-wielding techniques that make them a most formidable foe upon the battlefield.

Human Forge Knight Tactics
A human forge knight typically uses their action point to activate sweeping infero to hit grouped enemies, particularly those in a defensive formation, and then moves it to take down well armoured but slow moving targets with their burning blade while keeping their chosen enemy focused on them with their fiery gaze. As their leaders crack troops, human forge knights like to focus on breaking enemy formations and engaging tougher opponents while less skilled allies harass more vulnerable enemies.

Ok... so what do they look like?

Blast, there is always something overlooked, hehehe...

First and foremost, of course, they are well conditioned humans. Physically, the only noticeably different thing about them is that they tend to have very intense eyes. When using their fiery gaze, it is almost like you can see a burning flame of light in their eyes. Their scale armour typically is enamelled in various shades of red, orange or yellow, and sometimes a combination of two or three, but otherwise it is just ordinary scale armour. Their swords too, are typically for their kind, but in the hands of a forge knight the light they reflect dances like fire across the surface of the blade, and they will trail cinders when swung. Burning blade causes their swords to erupt into flame when they strike, and do the same thing but even more intensely with sweeping infero, in which a horizantal slash with the sword creates a blast of swirling flames in front of them.
