Power-ups

Ok, down to business.

Name: Ug-Grag

Equip Giant Hammer-Link-Equip Gnarled Staff: Ug-Grag (Greg to his friends retaking Cave Art 101) is highly proficient in the use of a huge wooden club. The fact that it is magical and makes pretty lights every so often just makes Greg like it more when it goes smash on something.

Defense +3: Greg, being rather low on the evolutionary tree, has more skull than brain in his head. He likes using his head as a test to see how hard something is, usually via headbutt. (Greg, sadly, probably has CTE by now. )

Strength +3: Greg hit HARD. When Greg hits you, you will probably stop moving. Whether by huge club or by thick skull, Greg will hit you with something and scream incoherently. It's kind of his thing.

Ok, I figure I should explain my choices beyond "Greg the Caveman SMASH."

SpoilerThe linked weapon is something I'm intrigued by, as it would presumably add a magical element to any physical attack, thus giving Greg the ability to deal with rather physically strong enemies without resorting to "help me, oh mighty wizard around 5 rooms away!" The defense and strength are each to help shore up deficiencies in his physical stats: his speed suffers terribly, but he's strong and can take hits without immediately needing to heal, again giving him survivability.

A few other options, while still keeping the weapon (I like the idea of a caveman swinging a club around, sorry,) would be speed +3 to compensate for the loss of speed from the weapon, heal to improve Greg's ability to survive on his own, or dark pulse to deal damage that doesn't involve being nest to the enemy.
