Chapter 19- Shield tamer

Chapter 19- Shield tamer

Since everyone hates cliffhangers, I'll try to get this chapter done tonight.  This will be a little longer, mostly due to all the new information I need to give you guys.  It is a class change after all :p

Btw, since the half star rating was improved, if you added on to your own score to make a difference, go ahead and lower it to what you think the story is.  Honest feelings help me write this, not, cough, drunk opinions, cough, comment war, cough.

To repeat: THIS IS A INFO CHAPTER, ignore if you like, action resumes next time.  I just hate coding all this, so I got it over with.

Enjoy.

---------------------

Steel didn't feel any different when the light faded away, but he did have a large amount of notifications to go through.  The first one outlined what his class was:

Class ChangeShield TamerStats added:+10 leadership

+10 faithTypePatronRequirementsTamer/Holy FighterMilnaTouch Milna's heart with deed and word

Fight for nature

Animal friend, not companion/slave/familiar

Defensive style fightingDescription:This class is a special class given by the goddess Milna to only the truly worthy.  Shield Tamers fight alongside their companions/slaves in battle, boosting their allies and inflicting deadly force on their enemies.  A shield tamer relies on physical fighting, relying on magic for support spells and gaining companions/slaves.  This class can be used for good or evil, but only in the name of protecting nature.  Working against Milna will remove this class, so be diligent.
