Fighting styleEdit

A Melee-based Bandit Highwayman will usually charge in with weapon and shield ready. Highwaymen will often make extensive use of shields and shield-bashing, and proceed to attack the player whilst he is recovering. An archery-based Bandit Highwayman will usually sit back and pepper the player with arrows. When engaged he will often pull out his dagger and start attacking with it rather than retreating to a better position.
