Man-at-Arms

"The raw strength of youth may be spent, but his eyes hold the secrets of a hundred campaigns."

- The Narrator

The Man-at-Arms is one of the playable Character Classes in Darkest Dungeon.

An old, battle-scarred veteran, the Man-at-Arms has seen enough war and bloodshed to last more than a dozen lifetimes. While he can no longer swing his great mace with the force he once could, you should not stand where he swings his mighty weapon. However it is not offense, but his defense, that makes the Man-at-Arms such a vital member of any team. His ability to read the enemy's moments allows him to draw fire to himself to defend his allies and then retaliate with surprising force.

The battlefield is a chaotic place, and Man-at-Arms knows how to make himself heard. With his vociferous shouting he can issue vital commands to his men or let out a terrible bellow to strike fear into the enemy's heart. At camp, the Man-at-Arms can take time to instruct and practice with others, giving efficient information and life saving instruction. As long as the Man-at-Arms stands, he will never allow the line to break.
