'''Flavor & Description:''' Thaddeus is a terrifying silhouette on the battlefield. Clad in battered steel, he holds a tower shield in his left hand. In his right, he effortlessly holds an '''Earth Breaker,''' a massive sledgehammer meant to be swung with two hands, gripping it near the head like a simple mace.

'''----- Tactics -----''' '''The Strategy:''' Thaddeus is a "Stat Check." He forces enemies to deal with massive damage output while having high AC.

* '''The Grip:''' Because he wields the Earth Breaker     one-handed, his off-hand is free for a '''Heavy Shield''', making his AC     significantly higher than a standard barbarian.
* '''The Combo:'''
** '''Round 1:''' Swift Action ''Fervor'' (Divine      Power). Standard Action ''Righteous Might''.
** '''Round 2:''' He is now Large. His Earth Breaker      deals '''4d6 base damage''' (2d6 Base -> 3d6 Impact -> 4d6 Size).      He full attacks.
* '''Vital Strike:''' If he has to move, he uses Vital     Strike. 4d6 becomes '''8d6+21''' on a single hit.
