Oddly enough, the other weapon thanes tend to mock the PC's who do that. Cowards, slouchabacks, ninthlings. Getting silly etiphets "The Cautious," "The White," "Weakblow" "Hideshield" And getting pushed around by Uroxi who are absolutely *sure* you are too cautious to fight can make life *not* worth living.

No he does not. But then, it depends on how much of this the narrator is willing to inflict. But being a timid and cautious warrior when the Black Oak clan comes over the hill and your clanmates are falling all around you means Bad Things for your relationship. Certainly censure and probably little support if youwant to do something nifty...
