Low - Moderate - Duskborn Fighter Substitution Levels[edit]
Race: Duskborn
Duskborns who choose to train in martial weapons often learn the discipline perfected by the Dreadspears, who focus on using the spear and intimidation to bring their opponents to their knees. Many agree that seeing an impaler fight is more like carrying out a torture that culminates in an execution than an actual battle.
