And he's a brute.That SCREAMS "get in the middle of the enemies and damage all of them"Yep, I see that working.Well, I thought that his shift-giving at-will would be handing in repositioning the rotpriest and the guards.But it doesn't feel strong enough.Anyone has a practical experience on how these creatures work in real combat?Maybe I'm underestimating them.</blockquote>
