The Hedgeknight

Description
The Hedgeknight is a battle-hardened mountain of a man, a rock upon which enemy lines break like waves. Prefering the pragmatism of his battle-axe over more noble weapons, he crushes his foes without mercy or respite. Woe to those who garner his attention, for he is not one to go down easily.

Hardly an inspiring leader, he is a leader nonetheless, drilling his companions in the arts of war and forcing them to rise beyond their station. Undaunted by even the largest of foes, he enters the fray axe-first, leaving the enemy lines shattered and easily destroyed.

Elsewhere his lack of chivalry would see him reduced to an errand-boy, but in the estate he will be a most welcome asset indeed.

My first and most beloved mod for ages. Lovely lore-accurate sprite and personality, amazing sound work and great result!

there is one complain i do have though - The Death's door recovery should be somewhat altered. The character implores you to use indomitable when on death's door and since it's that specialised you actively do want to keep Him at low health hence to use indomitable. Therefore, maybe a Ringmaster or flagellant approach where death's door recovery doesn't exist or has at least less debuffs should be thought of.

he's very good. Honestly, i wouldn't even say OP. his accuracy is a bit low and he is mostly self reliant. He's a perfect damage dealer but that's all that he is, so he should be good at his job.

That being said, the one thing i want to emphasize is that he has his own "Voice" lines! Like Knight of Cain Redux, if you put this guy in the abbey he has special stuff to say, my favourite is when the Prophet crits him and he says: "What will you do old man, bleed on me?". It adds a layer of love that many mods lack.

That being said, I love this guy. He's reliant and good but not versatile, so take that into account. He's a leper who's ACC problem is switched with very little Versatility and even less options to hit the back line.

Really cool mod and a very nice design overall, but the damage needs to be tweaked a bit, the fact that he's one-shotting mobs with 0 upgrades is too op.
