 TACTICS

Before Combat: If Zargabaath has a chance to set up, he’ll activate Judge’s Might immediately before combat begins.
During Combat: Zargabaath immediately uses Judgment when combat begins, boosting whichever abilities he feels he’s lacking against his foes, and then activates Judge’s Might as soon as possible afterwards. If he wishes to set his weapon against a charge or has to move during a round or is otherwise limited to a single attack, he combines his weapons together, but otherwise he keeps them separate during combat. He has a small stock of powerful potions in case he needs to heal himself or his allies.

 SPECIAL ABILITIES

Ultima Weapons (Su)

3/day while under 50% HP, as a swift action Judge Zargabaath may infuse all his allies and himself with magick to increase their destructive might. For himself and allies in a 30-ft radius, for 3 rounds, all wielded natural, unarmed, and manufactured weapons are treated as magical and deal an additional 3d4 non-elemental damage.

GEAR

Zargabaath’s knight sword and battleaxe have a special weapon modification, “judge weapon”, which allows them to be combined into a dwarven urgrosh or split apart again as a free action. Magical enhancements from each of the individual weapons carry over to the ends of the dwarven urgrosh, and proficiency with the modified weapon versions of its parts makes him proficient with the dwarven urgrosh.
