-    description= _ "Scorchers spend so much time experimenting with their weapons that they smell constantly of ash and flame. Regarded with wariness by their fellow troops, Scorchers can be easily located in battle by the cleared charred area around them, a testament to the success of their experiments."
+    description= _ "The Scorcher’s name is derived not from the destruction they wreak on adversarial formations, but on their own singed appearance. By experimenting endlessly with their equipment, most Scorchers inevitably overstep their bounds and are seared by the highly volatile Sanbaar sap that soaks their weapons. Bearing their burns as a mark of pride in their work, these archers relish igniting great swaths of flame on the battlefield, though this sometimes results in unintended friendly fire as well."
