You possess a mastery of medieval european weapons.
Used by Seymore Alonso, Created by ilyude.

Sir Seymore Alonso carries himself as a proud knight and refuses to accept otherwise. Although he comes across as quite mad, his skill at arms with medieval weaponry is very real. He strikes with uncanny precision, brutal power, and preternatural control. His attacks morph seamlessly between stances as a thrust turns into an overhead slash, or a horizontal swing turns into a blow with a the cross-guard or haft. Even the timing of offensive maneuvers is frustratingly uncanny, as the momentum accelerates or slows without altering the intended force behind them.

First of his name, valiant saviour of Templetown, slayer of the Danish menace.
