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.
