Stefan

At a Glance
Origin: Profession: Warrior Armament: Sword and Shield

Pros Cons
 * First melee henchman.
 * Has a fair survival rate in combat.
 * Has below par offensive power, attacks weaker than Little Thom
 * Dies quickly if surrounded.

Known Skills
From Dragon's Lair on, if not earlier:
 * Sever Artery
 * Power Attack
 * Griffon's Sweep
 * Healing Signet
 * Balanced Stance
 * Charge!

Behaviour
As with all henchmen, Stefan will fight whatever it is the party leader is currently attacking. Since he is a Warrior, this is a lot more noticable. Keep this in mind if you're using effect-on-hit skills (such as Mark of Pain) to maximise your body counts.

Tips

 * Keep healing Stefan. If he is your only primary Warrior, keep him alive at all costs, as he's the one who'll be trying to soak up all that physical damage.
 * Remember that sword skills that cause Bleeding don't work very well against elementals and other creatures who don't bleed. Stefan, and other sword-wielding Warriors, are handicapped when facing such enemies.
