    New Viking: Blacksmith

    This is more of a concept then anything truly solid, but he would wield a hammer and he could "Break" weapons with a successful parry. Which would make the enemy either stop them from attacking or greatly reduce their damage dealt and blocked. And the abilities could be stuff like "Shatter point: Enemies who block your heavy attacks have their weapons broken" and "Man the Bellows: Overheat your hammer and increase your damage for a short time"

    Isn't a blacksmith also a knight-like thing too?

    Oh man, what happens after your weapon breaks though? I feel like either we'd have to either make it so that it's very, very hard to pull off a successful parry, or the "weapon breaking" would be more like a temporary disabling move and your weapon would magically come back to life - just to preserve balance. Otherwise blacksmith would be super broken - because then you have no way to defend once your weapon breaks.

    Not if you make him a Dwarven Blacksmith! He has 1 move; The Crotch Shot. It makes all characters spend 10 minutes curled up in a fetal position, groaning in agony.

    It's still a better idea than Centurion, UbiNoty
