Do you think that canonically, warlords have to be really buff and muscular to be powerful? or can you just have really good technique and be magical which allows you to accomplish things?

For example, could some average athletic built warlord with a lot of magical energy and good technique in his fighting style, be able to compare to a warlord who’s really buff and uses their brute strength more?

also I know the halberd and lance are probably both really heavy but do you think that being very magical and having decent weapon knowledge could also help in being able to carry them?

2

since most people don’t have the muscles gamepass then probably

3

wait so it is canon that you can have a lot of strength but not be super muscular?

4

well since inherent magical energy and talent plays a role apparently iirc i would guess so

5

magics got very little to do with it, most it does is just harness the latent energy in your body

you dont have to be a 7’4 shredded juggernaut to be a warlord, plus theres the fact that in a lot of cases in the aa world physical appearance does not equal strength

warlords definitely need muscle though you cant say that a strength build needs no muscle

6

yeah argos had zero magical talent so that’s why he had to become super buff

but on the other hand, if you were very magically talented, or skilled in magic, and you practiced with weaponry and the techniques for fighting styles a lot, maybe that could substitute?

7

he uses a lost magic tho

edit: i misread as calvus

8

??? since fuckin when
edit: i replied the second it was edited :slight_smile:

So like

I can easily just be a 5’7 ordinary athletic built joe

but with enough practice (and a little magic)

I can be just as powerful (if not more) as a 7’4 beserker who chugs pre-workout every 5 minutes?

10

probably, gon from hunter x hunter could be a good example of this

11

you dont need magic the magic plays a very little role in being a warlord

im not sure if its just ordinary joe, joes gotta be a bit muscular. what im meaning to say is that you can be lean instead of beefy

12

Oh sweet

I’m already quite lean

(6 years of swimming does silly things to you)

13

you just gotta have muscles and some weapon skill. magic talent isnt really necessary, as no matter what after a certain point you use latent magical energy

if you throw magical talent into the mix then youre just a savant at that point

14

alright so there is hope

lean warlords are canon yippee

15

btw lean = having some muscles right

16

yes

17

also is it normal that when you flex your muscle it’s still a little squishy

18

my guy i am not a professional i dont know

19

lol okay fair

Its not that he had zero magical talent, its that his magic manifested differently, or some variation of that language. Fighting and weapon skills are imbued with magic.
