Praeth is weak, not quite as weak as an upstart, but comparatively, he is physically incapable of head-on brute force. Rather, Praeth's specialty is in the diversity of his fighting styles, the variety of weapons he can use, and the redirection of one's power.

Generally speaking, the more an ancient relies on pure power, the stronger Praeth is. His main shortcoming is the fact that his skills lose prowess and precision as his fatigue grows, naturally finesse is trumped by exhaustion. Thus, Praeth has a poor affinity for multiple consecutive battles, long-lasting fights of pace, and any fight taking place after a tiring physical excursion.

Edit: I think I'm going to add that to the CS to clarify, unless that changes the boolean of my character's approval.
