✖ NOTES ON COMBAT ✖
Sheogorath has been in plenty of fights, and he has trained at least a few times beneath the study of battle oriented individuals. This will detail those encounters, his abilities, and what to expect from the self proclaimed prince during a brutal fight. And it will be brutal.
Combat with Long Ranged Weapons, such as guns. He has used his fair share of guns, and even once, a bow, though each of his arrows had missed their prey. For a time, Sheogorath was taught how to shoot by his father, but he had been quite young, restless, and was never one to stay in one place or pay attention for long. At close ranges, he isn't likely to miss a shot, but then, neither is anybody else. At medium range, he might hit his mark, or he might not. It's a toss up, really, depending on the factors around him. At long range, he's almost certain to miss his shot unless out of sheer luck. The man is no sharpshooter, he can lift a gun, point it toward a target and pull the trigger, but beyond that, Sheogorath is hardly skilled. If one were to face him as he pointed a gun their way, they'd be in the same danger as any other time a gun was pointed at them, but in close range, it's possible for their reflexes to outmatch his own, especially fueled by desperation or fear. At long range, there's not much to fear, except perhaps, a lucky shot, and the other person is likely to win in a shootout.
Hand to Hand Combat, or wrestling. Sheogorath is only slightly above average when it comes to handling his good old fists during a fight. His experience comes from friendly spars, and actual situations in which he had needed to defend himself, or simply attack without a weapon. Disarmed, he can still prove to be challenging, but not much so in comparison to a well trained opponent. In terms of difficulty, Sheogorath would be rated at a medium to anyone with greater skill than his own, and almost borderline hard against enemies of his own skill.
Staff, Cane and Knives. While he walks with a cane, it's not because of any long term injury, nor does he carry it simply to add a bit of charm to his person. The accessory is actually a weapon. When it comes to staves, Sheograth was heavily trained by a master in the art, and reflects those teaching well by delivering powerful, swift, and punishing blows with little pause between each mighty swing. Fast paced and lethal, he has the strength behind his blows to crack open skulls and snap bones. This makes him a very difficult and brutal opponent in any combat situation. Typically, Sheogorath will deliver a burst of strikes in a very short time, each one aimed at certain parts of the body as if to target the most painful, or critical areas. He was trained enough in the anatomy of a foe to know where to hit hardest to make the best of a fight. An average opponent with no training engaging Sheogorath while he holds his cane is likely to lose, as he is not easily disarmed. Daggers are similar, quick and precise, preferring slashes over stabs, he wields small blades like swords and it's no laughing matter.
Tactics and expected behavior. Sheogorath is a man that's quickly decisive on a battlefield and very much disciplined, as he was taught to be. Even while agitated, he won't likely lash out in a frenzy, but there are certain exceptions involving long term rivalries. During a fight with an average opponent, he'll typically aim to cripple or knock out before considering a kill, often striking at tender areas such as the stomach and skull. He's quick to analyze opponents and size up their potential weaknesses, and will often taunt foes in an attempt to peer into their minds and gather potentially useful reactions. The moment he sees weakness, he'll seize it.
