Architect of many a site 2 Movie block defeat, usually combo'd with Raider Halberd (7C156) to add an arbitrary number of exertions, which are then worth +2 strength apiece due to the enduring keyword. Originally we had thought to reduce the enduring bonus from 2 to 1, but the complaints that "only" 19 strength wasn't enough to justify his use were not lost on us. Instead, enduring is retained but fierce has been removed, meaning that early Castamir plays will only kill one companion per site instead of two. As with Promise Keeping, we'll keep an eye on good ol' PJ Pirate to see if he warrants further adjustment.
