Also look after his gear before he sleeps. As a frontline combatant, he really needs to gear up. However, his party members needs the resource to survive, so he sucks it up and just train to make up for the lack of efficient equipments. He turns out doing quite well. He use every single of his equipment to the fullest when every they can even if they are none magical, because he trains with them all the time. While his party members got to the point where they forgot they even have the magical items and failed to use them. So the fluff of being prepared is actually quite helpful, reminds yourself what options you have.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581577036882661272noreply@blogger.com
