Special Notes:
  This character is meant to opperate with another character who is his 
twin brother (another PC).  We intend to swap character sheets when we 
are "pretending to be our twin brother".  The break opposition's sword 
routine is meant to be something that doesn't get used too often.  
Tactics include, when using the mace, step into range of opponent and 
smash with the shield.  Reason: you cannot feint with a shield until you 
have attacked at least once - call it a wake up knock if you will 
<grin>.  Then, with luck, he will be in frontal hex next turn.  Next, 
feint - hopefully drawing out his defense.  If feint is successful, next 
turn, attack weapon - hopefully hitting.  Defense would be "feinted out" 
and in desparation, hopefully the opponent uses a retreating parry or 
retreating dodge.  Since your action of Step and attack can actually be 
attack then step, you will hopefully have placed two hexes between you 
and your opponent, instead of just one...
  The character starts off with cheap weapons with an eye towards getting 
better weapons during combat (ie looting the bodies, etc...).  
Eventually, it may be possible to get a horse from the field of battle.  
After listening to a few counters to my sword smashing concept, I 
realized that it might be better to get rapid healing.  The advantage, as 
I read it, allows you to not only recover injury points back quicker than 
as if you didn't have it, but also allows a +5 bonus to determine if you 
are crippled permanently.  Statistically speaking (yes, I am min/maxing 
here <grin>), there is a roughly 4.6% chance of being crippled 
permanently, whereas, with rapid healing, there exists only a crit 
failure chance of permanently being crippled...
