Signature abilities
Detailed ability breakdowns
These signature abilities now fire in battle with their own damage and cooldowns — a bigger skill or ultimate hits harder, and the two healers restore HP instead of striking. Still on the way here on the site: the full per-ability breakdown (exact multipliers and effects), plus deeper mechanics like status effects and multi-target hits.
Lore
The Tribal Spearman is on the Tribal Alliance plains-clans warband-rolls under the work-name Halen Marrek, age twenty-five, son of a plains-clan herding family that has supplied the warband with one spear-and-shield infantryman per generation for at least seven generations the clan-elder can name. Halen is the current generation; the previous bearer was his uncle, who served fourteen years on the warband and retired to the herding work two campaigns ago. Halen's induction-rite was straightforward — the clan-elder confirmed his name, the warband-officer confirmed his shield, and Halen confirmed his oath — and his service has been straightforward in the same way: ten years on the warband, no formal commendations, no formal complaints, and the warband-officer's only written note in his file is 'reliable, present, useful where placed.'
His combat-grant is the spear-and-shield discipline of the plains-clans warband: shield-wall placement at the warband-officer's signal, spear-thrust on the warband-officer's count, retreat-step on the warband-officer's call. Halen does what the count says, and he does it within the count's window every time the count has been called over ten years. The plains-clans warband considers this the foundational class of soldier, and the warband-officer's note is a higher commendation in the warband's tradition than the formal-commendation paperwork would be. Halen does not seek the formal paperwork; the warband-officer does not file it on his behalf.
He stands the line with the Bear Warrior (char_bear_warrior) when the warband co-deploys with the forest-clans, and the two of them have an understanding that the Bear Warrior's roar is the warband's signal to dress lines just as it is the front rank's last warning — Halen has dressed lines on the roar nine times in three campaigns, and the warband-officer has noted in writing that this is 'within doctrine, even though the doctrine does not cover it.' Halen is on speaking terms with the Wolf Rider regiments and with Senna Vey (char_wilds_hunter); the warband considers his understanding of the trap-lines and the flank-rider corridors a thing the warband should preserve, and has tabled three rotation-eligibility reviews on the grounds that the warband cannot afford the gap.
