Einhander

An einhander.

"Armor? Pfft. I'll end you before you can blink."

Wearing little armor, throwing caution to the wind, the einhander is a decisive warrior, one who believes that skill with a weapon will bring success. Relying only upon his awesome skill with a weapon and the crafted metal he wields (or perhaps just his own fist), the einhander wreaks havoc upon his foes, ripping through armor and shield like a hot knife through butter.

The einhander, however, is not without weakness. A calm and patient warrior can outlast him, and an ambush or ranged attack doesn't allow for his skill to come to the fore. Beyond these few limitations, however, the einhander is truly a force to be reckoned with.

Einhander Class Features

The following are class features of the Einhander class.

Weapon Proficiency: You are proficient with the following weapon groups: axe, flail, hammer, heavy blade, light blade, mace, pick, sling, spear, and unarmed. You are proficient with basic and advanced weapons.

Armor Proficiency: You are proficient with all light and medium armor. You are not proficient with shields.

Weapon Token Pool: You have a weapon token pool, which allows you to make use of more complicated maneuvers in combat. The most tokens you can have in your weapon token pool is equal to your depth in all einhander ability trees x 2 (so if you are at depth 3 in Flurry and depth 2 in Smash, you can have 10 weapon tokens at any one time {[3 + 2] x 2}).

Ability Trees: The two ability trees you have access to are Einhander: Flurry and Einhander: Smash.

Token Gain: Whenever you successfully hit a creature, you gain one weapon token for each level of depth you have access to in the Flurry tree. Whenever you successfully deal damage to a creature, you gain one weapon token for each level of depth you have access to in the Smash tree.

Example: You are an 11th-level einhander, and have access to the fifth depth of Smash and no depth in Flurry. You gain no weapon tokens for a successful hit, but you gain 5 weapon tokens each time you successfully deal damage to a creature.

Einhander Abilities

As an einhander, you follow one of two philosophies: hit hard, or hit often. The two einhander trees reflect these philosophies.

Einhander: Flurry

Your approach to weaponcraft is one that emphasizes speed and quantity over power and quality. You may not hit hard, but you strike repeatedly, never giving your opponent a chance to recover from a blow. Some einhanders of this discipline seek to be able to deal with many opponents at once, while others choose to focus their skills on attacking a single opponent at a time; rare is the einhander that can combine both halves of this discipline into a continuous whole.
