How does a smart character fight? This is a question that took a long time to answer. But I figured it out: A smart character is one well-suited to a fast-paced and prediction-heavy style that can take advantage of your foe’s mistakes and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! A good, but not godlike, tool for every situation and an answer to everything that could be thrown at him within his tier or lower.
