Any warrior will tell you that the most important
part of any battle, is the beginning. Initiative is usually
decided in the first seconds of battle, and with it, many
times the results as well. Striking the first blow can be
a huge advantage, especially if attacking an unprepared foe.
By striking first, and drawing on strength from within, a
tremendous first strike can be made, accompanied by a harsh
battlecry. Many times this will catch a foe unawares, allowing
him to be taken advantage of.
