Little Thom (NPC)[]

Nation: Ascalon
Affiliation: Ascalon Army

Little Thom is first seen as a profession trainer for warriors in Barradin's Estate in pre-Searing Ascalon. After the Searing, Farrah Cappo in Piken Square requested help in locating Little Thom with the quest The Red-Cloaked Deserter. He was said to have deserted Ascalon forces being rampaged by Charr.

The Barradin Estate "They call me Little Thom, yar they do. I'm the axe trainer in these parts. Not to brag, but I'm the best there is. The fastest too. What would you like to talk about today?"

Evaluation[]

Little Thom, along with Stefan, are the only Warrior henchmen available until late into Prophecies. Once a target is called, he will charge into battle as soon as it is initiated. He is most useful to supplement a party lacking in high-AL members. Be aware that if not already fighting, Little Thom immediately engages any enemy that attacks a party member, be it by melee attacks or ranged spells. This means, of course, that he will very often rush right into the middle of a mob, drawing aggro from more enemies. He is also very reluctant to back out from a fight and fall back; you will have to run away quite far before he stops fighting and begins trying to catch up.

Little Thom is a fair alternative to Stefan with slightly higher damage output and a little less defensive strength. If you are not a Warrior, it may be more effective to take both of them. By taking both they can be used to body-block mobs and hold their attention better, and of course, if one dies you still have another tank to fall back on.

Pros

  • Deals a fair amount of damage.
  • Can withstand damage quite well.
  • Has a self-heal in the form of Healing Signet.
  • Useful against enemies who have stances because of Wild Blow.

Cons

  • Has less defensive strength than Stefan.
  • Has same pathfinding issues as Stefan.
  • Has a little deserter in him. Little Thom (unlike Stefan or Devona) has a tendency to back away when severely injured to try and heal himself or get healing.

Dialogue[]

"Don't tell anyone you've seen me. I've got a few "unpaid debts" if you know what I mean. I'm a survivor that's for sure. Word of advice, when I get started you had best stay out of my way, for when I am in the midst of combat I often cleave so mightily that I'll slice through friend only to encounter foe! Or is it the other way around? I forget."

Trivia[]

  • Little Thom apparently had a younger brother named Ryan who died in the Searing, as evidenced by a quote he says on occasion (locations unconfirmed, likely around Ascalon):
"My little brother died in the Searing. Ryan was his name. Bah! I've something in me eye."
