that's the plan! honestly though, the armor was one of the decisive factors that Garsin's group of 9 people (himself included) were able to take on the 40 bandits that attacked his town, well, that and amazing tactics. He may be slow, but Lord don't let him catch you! I planned for Garsin to be the tank/melee specialist in the group.

edit: ...and I need to find this character test. I can't choose!
