Naga Shield Guard

The veteran naga guards have learnt a unique fighting style, different from the heavy infantry of other races. By combining the inertia of a heavy mace with the flexibility of their bodies, they can deliver a series of swift and crushing blows.

This technique can be powerful given time to prepare, but is challenging to use under duress. Defensively, Shield Guards instead leverage their natural flexibility to shield themselves and bend in the direction of the blow, absorbing some of the damage. Though their small shields do little against ranged attacks, this tactic nevertheless makes them sturdy fighters in melee.
