I really like the new crusader. As the commit message says, it's the perfect
starting package to try a medium armour hybrid. The mix of evasion, armour,
melee and low level buffs reminds me of D&D's bard. Since the crusader name
is not fitting at all, I suggested to rename it to bard, but it is indeed
too reminiscent of D&D. Someone on ##crawl-dev suggested a viking flavoured
bard: Skald <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skald>. The name is pretty cool,
and even if it's a bit obscure, it's a better fit than crusader.
Anyone up for some flavourful text to describe the background and how they
use their artistic talents to induce magical effects?
