The Scoundrel is able to equip [[bow]]s, two-handed [[crossbow]]s, two [[ring]]s, one [[amulet]] and a Scoundrel specific item called [[Scoundrel_Tokens|Scoundrel Tokens]] at level 21.
It is currently unknown what items the Scoundrel can equip, or what the restrictions are. What is known is that each follower can equip two [[ring]]s, an [[amulet]], a main-hand [[weapon]], with a possibility of an off-hand [[item]] such as a [[shield]], varying by follower. Lyndon has only been seen utilizing a two-handed [[crossbow]].
 
Each follower, in addition to the above, also unlocks an item slot at level 25, which will be a unique item gained through completing the follower's storyline. Lyndon's unique item has yet to be revealed.

Latest revision as of 20:45, 17 April 2015

Lyndon the Scoundrel is one of the three classes of followers in Diablo III. The Scoundrel is a ranged attacker who can be seen utilizing a crossbow.

Lyndon

Lore[edit | edit source]

Scoundrel concept art.

Lyndon is a thief hailing from Kingsport, and a braggart who takes a more humorous approach to the game's setting. Leonard Boyarsky spoke of Lyndon in an interview with FZ.se:[1]

The Scoundrel is from Kingsport. He’s kind of disgraced and has been kicked out of the thieves’ guild. He’s a real thief in both mind and heart. His name is Lyndon and he acts kind of like the classical DPS character, he’s a guy that does damage from a distance.


Gives the following with are required for A Quick Study achievement.


Gear[edit | edit source]

Scoundrel with xbow.

The followers in Diablo III are much more restricted in what they can equip from what we've seen in the mercenaries in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. The Scoundrel is able to equip bows, two-handed crossbows, two rings, one amulet and a Scoundrel specific item called Scoundrel Tokens at level 21.

Like the other followers, the Scoundrel has three tiers of gear progression, which are based upon level. The final tier of armor for the Scoundrel bears remarkable similarity to that of the Demon Hunter at later levels, the main difference being the Scoundrel's manly mustache.

Three levels of gear progression for the Scoundrel.


Skills[edit | edit source]

Much like the player character classes, followers are able to learn a few skills or spells at specific level milestones. Not much is known about the skills, currently, besides their names and when they are unlocked. Players may choose one skill from each tier. Follower skills cannot be augmented nor benefit from runes, and they only have one rank, as opposed to player skills.

The Scoundrel's character window.

As the Enchantress draws many parallels to the Wizard in terms of spells, the same holds true for the Scoundrel, having many similar abilities to the Demon Hunter.

Fan Favorite?[edit | edit source]

Some fans critiqued Kormac as following too closely to the art direction of the WarCraft series, and others commented on the lack of clothing and pop-star sensibilities of Eirena[2]. However, Lyndon seems to draw unanimous approval due, perhaps in part, to his excellently-groomed mustache, armor theme similar to that of the gothic Demon Hunter, and the in-born charisma of a thief.



Conversations[edit | edit source]

Act I[edit | edit source]

Witch Doctor: I see. You bother women to ease the sting.
Wizard: Still, you shouldn't bother every woman that crosses your path.

Well, no. Sometimes they should bother me!


Kingsport Fighting


Barbarian:
Demon Hunter: Who trained you to fight?
Monk:
Witch Doctor: You are a skilled fighter.
Wizard: How did you learn to fight?

My brother taught me when we were younger. He thought the crossbow was the best weapon for me since it would give me time to run away if I botched things too badly.

Oh, he's still in Kingsport. I expect he'll be there a good long time.


Sticky Fingers

Demon Hunter: Why did you become a thief?
Witch Doctor: How did you become a thief?

That's a long and terrible story that y-you wouldn't want to hear.

Demon Hunter: You probably fancied something but couldn't afford it.
Witch Doctor: You found something you liked and couldn't afford?
Wizard: You found something you liked and couldn't afford?

Basically.

Demon Hunter: Try to be more reasonable in the future.
Witch Doctor: Perhaps you should be more reasonable.
Wizard: Maybe you should be more reasonable in future.

Oh, there was nothing reasonable about her.


Blood Ties

Witch Doctor: Do you have any other family?

My brother and I were orphans we only had each other.

Witch Doctor: Is he a thief also?

No. He was a member of the city guard.

Witch Doctor: That seems odd.

Not as much as you might think. Until the end, that is.


Difficult Decisions

Do you ever doubt your choices?

Witch Doctor: I ponder them before, not after.

Things never seem to turn out like I hope they will.

Witch Doctor: Trust the spirits. They will guide you.

Try living in the slums before you lecture me.

Witch Doctor: I see you carry great pain.
