Vanguards are skillful and brave warriors whose main atribute is strength. They are tall and muscular men who love steel. That is why their most favorite weapon are swords and axes of various kinds. Due to their high power and stamina they are also able to wear heavy armor protecting them from injuries resulting from close combat which is typical for them.
They do not feel fear and they are not afraid of predominance of their enemies. They are led by their desire for victory, which gives them power to overwhelm every danger they are facing. There is no menace they cannot handle and this is the reason they are highly used characters on the battlefield. They can use swords, axes, maces and shields.
