I always have a soft corner for the underdog..So this really was an awesome read..:D..Glad to hear this POV..much love to your character..<3

[mamas_minion]

Thank you, I wanted to go with an underdog character this time around.

My choice of weapons are sword, spear, and dagger. I also have a shield.

My first thought when I read this is, "Yeah, and they're all the knight's." (Not true, I realize, but the Squire is such an underdog...)

Also, the armor descriptions ring this to mind, as well as this.

awesome comic strips thank you for sharing those with me.

[halfshellvenus]

but I have a habit of dropping my weapons, usually at the most inopportune of moments,
Awww! Yours is the comic-relief character, and he doesn't even seem to know it!

My finisher is... ... ...Oh crap, I forgot what my finisher is! I mean I never win, how the heck would I know how I would do it???
Hahahahaha!

I loved the title, this piece, and your whole approach to this prompt. \o/

Thank you

Oh, lord. I was always the idiot who picked characters like the Squire, too. Just because I wanted to prove that you could actually make them USEFUL.

[mamas_minion]

Yeah I would try to win the game with every character at least once. I would wind up getting playing 20 times in row with these characters.

I'd ask how in the world someone with a bastard sword regularly loses to a claymore (I'm assuming you mean the hand-and-a-half bastard sword, not the obscure one that's halfway between a shortsword and a full-size one?) -- and, for that matter, why a fighter with what sounds like a halberd isn't holding you off with that anyway -- but any game that's still putting women in armor that automatically directs a blow to the center of their chest can't possibly be using logic in their weaponry either. *facepalm*

Good luck?

[mamas_minion]

I did mean the one that is half way between a short sword and a regular sword the single handed Bastard style sword and yes the programmers of these games often throw logic out the window especially in the case of the female characters.

[jem0000000]

Ooo, that one's rare even in weapons books, odd to see it in a game. Mmm, it's more agile, so I'd prefer it anyway, but the claymore has reach, it could go either way really. I dunno, maybe they were thinking you'd go inside his guard? But most games don't program that in for swords, just polearms.
