Notes from author
Not the best when it comes to PvP, but you still have a bit of poise to tank through a few hits. The peasant believes in the gods, so the build also implements some faith to cast the wrath of the gods. The armour is based on the peasants from Dark Souls 2. If you wnat to do higher level invasions, I suggest leveling up Faith, Strenght, Dexterity and maybe a sprinkle of health. But remember, you are a simple farmer defending his land, you are no knight, so don't become a tank build! The shield is, in my opinion, the best option as to what a peasant would use as a shield to defend themselves. You could also use the blue cadeceus small shield, the white-red small shield or the cracked shield. The wooden shield is also an option, but it felt to ''warior-ish'' to include in the peasant build. The last item slot can hold either dung pies (like fertilizer), divine blessings, Lloyd's talisman or throwing knives. The green blossoms and blooming purple moss clumps are what the farmer grows on his ''farm'' and so he makes use of them in battle. The peasant is a forest hunter, because it's the only covenant that allows to defend something (in this case it's your land). Darkwraith is also an option, but it wouldn't fit very well with the idea of protecting your land. If you do become Darkwraith, you can still invade in the Royal Woods or the Undead Burg/Parish. The rotten pine resin can be applied to your tools to poison you enemies. You can also switch either weapon for a dagger to attack faster and it can still be view as a work knife. Pretty simple build, but still very fun to play with, both in PvP and PvE.
