Description

The Stahlwarz are known as the Blackened Steel, of which compose most of the steel skeleton's armies. Their overall role is something akin to a frontline soldier, albeit that their differential between traditional skeletons and the conscious species of the Stahlcren is that they are far more capable. Even though they are not usually stellar compared to others, they nonetheless consistently show problem solving skills and ingrain various battle tactics.   They wield equipment that is made exclusively for their kind, such as the Schaedrak, the Sword of Skulls. In addition, they also are armed with the Morrstei, known better as the Shield of Mortality. Their armor is, most notably, crafted as they are made in the forge of their origin, and in this case they don the Krypmetall, known also as "Crypt Metal".   While in the exchange of sword and axe, the Blackened Steel show a strange tenacity against their opponents. Even during fights, they have been known to recover from minor injuries and even return healed from nearly all harm, if not all of it! This has added to the reputation of theirs as the lasting effects of their resilience contribute to the fear around them.   The Stahlwarz are Level II Stahlcren.   Gear: Schaedrak (Longsword), Krypmetall (Medium), Morrstei (Shield).

Ideals

Ambitious. (Evil) In their creation, the Stahlcren, or the Bermetall, are ambitious entities. The soldier class more or less seeks to expand territory no matter the focus - against men, dwarf, elf, goblin, you name it - they will conquer.

Bonds

Duty. (Personality) In the inception of the Stahlwarz, their primary focus is on completing the tasks divvied out to them as best as possible and efficiently so.

Flaws

Neglect. (Evil) In their conquering of lands, the overtaking of territories, and the occupation of nations, the Stahlwarz often dismiss little details in some circumstances that may be relevant later on.

Suggested Environments

The Blackened Steel are found in the hives of the activity, especially in the areas that the Death-magick is most operant. They are within the armies of their kin, wherever they may be. They can be found underground, in urban environments, near mountains, tundras, forests, hills, even deserts and dune-scapes. The most common place that these creatures are found is primarily in wastelands or in high-dense places, such as cities or towns. Citadels also are a possible occurrence as well, and in the lands of their own possession (i.e. territory that is owned by their own authority), they are nearly everywhere.

Unique Traits.
Lebtmetall.
Every 2 turns while in combat, a Stahlwarz can regenerate 1d6+4 HP on the beginning of its turn. This cannot be inhibited.
