"When I'm through with these vermin, they'll be fit for a pie!"
A large figure labors nonstop through the night in the Fields of Endless Carnage, far to the south of Quoich, dismembering, disembowelment, and piling up the limbs and viscera of the dead so that the battlefield might be cleared by dawn. No matter how deeply you bury a corpse, nothing in this cursed world can ever decompose or return to the soil from which it originated. Pudge the Butcher sharpens his skills with blades that become more cutting edge the more he uses as he is surrounded by carrion birds who depend on him to chop their meals into bite-sized pieces. Thunk, thunk, thunk. Tendons and ligaments separate like wet paper as the flesh separates from the bone. And while Pudge has always had a taste for butchery, over time he has also come to appreciate its byproduct. Beginning with a gobbet of muscle here and a sip of blood there, he soon progressed to driving his jaws deep into the hardest of torsos, much like a dog gnawing at rags. Even people who are past being afraid of the Reaper are afraid of the Butcher.

Talents
Tips & Tactics
General
Up that Rot first. For CS, you will require it. You have enough items that regenerate to heal yourself, so don't be concerned. Rot until your heart is content. Take that Meat Hook at level 2. You place a lot of importance on it. You would be equivalent to Io without the Tether or Tidehunter without Ravage without it. When you reach level 6, Meat Hook will have three points, Rot will have two points, and Dismember will have a point. You are free to move around at this point. Meat Hook should always be maxed out before Rot and Flesh Heap. This cannot be contested. A special note on Hood of Defiance: purchase it before Flesh Heap to ensure that the magic resistance stacks. It's acceptable to purchase Cloak first.
