A '''champion''', {{lightgray|@}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. They are [[human]]s that serve as [[barbarian]]-like [[minion]]s of the aligned [[gods]], and have two weapon attacks.

==Generation==
Champions only appear in [[Infidel]] games, and are always generated hostile. They [[Monster starting inventory|are generated with]] either a [[battle-axe]] or a [[two-handed sword]] as their weapon with an equal chance of each, and their armor will either be [[ring mail]] ({{frac|2|3}} chance) or [[chain mail]] ({{frac|3}} chance). Their difficulty is much lower than what their level and attacks might suggest.

==Strategy==
Champions are incredibly powerful opponents to face in melee, requiring a patient and well-prepared Infidel with a means of consistent ranged attack in order to overcome them.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
They dressed alike -- in buckskin boots, leathern breeks and
deerskin shirts, with broad girdles that held axes and short
swords; and they were all gaunt and scarred and hard-eyed;
sinewy and taciturn.
They were wild men, of a sort, yet there was still a wide
gulf between them and the Cimmerian. They were sons of
civilization, reverted to a semi-barbarism. He was a
barbarian of a thousand generations of barbarians. They had
acquired stealth and craft, but he had been born to these
things. He excelled them even in lithe economy of motion.
They were wolves, but he was a tiger.
[ Conan - The Warrior, by Robert E. Howard ]

+Champions are quite powerful opponents for Infidels to face in melee, and their difficulty is intentionally much lower than what their level and attacks might suggest. Their [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] is fortunately a measly 10, giving Infidels a means to overcome them, but their strength still practically requires a patient and well-prepared player with a means of consistent ranged attack.
