A cantankerous, hard drinking, battle scarred Wolf Guard Battle Leader with a double bearded frost axe and storm shield and a pair of wolves at my side.....I am good with making some decisions, but being in charge sucks. Besides I like simple orders.... go take that installation and kill all the bad guys, rescue all the good guys. Gives me the chance to improvise.
You can not properly swing an axe sitting on your arrears. Besides it's more fun when you are at eye level.
