Enhanced Capabilities

Watcher’s Eye: Your experience in enforcing the law, and dealing with lawbreakers, gives you a feel for local laws and criminals. You can easily find the local outpost of the watch or a similar organization, and just as easily pick out the dens of criminal activity in a community, although you’re more likely to be welcome in the former locations rather than the latter.

Rallying Cry: You learn how to inspire your allies to fight on past their injuries. When you use your Second Wind feature, you can choose up to 3 + Proficiency Bonus creatures within 60 feet of you that are allied with you. Each one regains hit points equal to your fighter level, provided that the creature can see or hear you.

Faith: Lightbringers – Whelm

Conviction = 1; Basic Litany of Protection of Fellow Brothers and Sisters – even IF from a misguided or bad law or order.

Combat

ARMOR CLASS: armor (14), shield (+2), style (+1) = 17
> 1 resilience from armor, 1+1 resilience from shield, 1 resilience from sword
HEALTH/HIT POINTS: 10, 6, 6 + (Con) +6 = 28 -1 wound = 27
> Second Wind 1/Short Rest for 8hp

Fighting Style: Interception – When a creature you can see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your Reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10/5 + your proficiency bonus (=7; to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this Reaction.

Fighting Initiate – Defense: En extra fighting style! While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. When using a regular shield, it has the resilience of a Heavy Shield (+1); this extra use is subtracted first.

Action Surge: On your turn, you can take one additional action. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.

Typical Tactics: Todd is used to being a shield man as a squire. He will find a strong warrior he can pair up with in melee combat and watch their back, using Interception fighting style.

History

Created on: 7/17/2024/ Created by: Kelly Berger for Larry James

Campaign: Character Creation – Goodwill Goblin Hunting/ CY 9167 campaign year

Background: City Watch for the town of Nettlemist in the Barony of Nettlemist in County Faer of the Grand Duchy of Dunstrand.

Chronicle – Growing Up

His parents were well-off clothing merchants in the city of Nettlemist, importing leather and cloth from the other wise of the hills in the Grand Barony of Fandelok. He was a second son, so he was educated and literate but had little hope of entering into the family business. His father got him a job in the City Watch as a guardsman. He he met MANY different travelers from different cultures coming over the pass. He learned a great deal of history. When he was 19, he was growing weary of his job when Gaenor Cladaugh, the famous Ducateon archeologist needed volunteers to assist a Sir Halleon – a knight of Umbak traveling over the pass in winter – when goblin attacks are at their worst. The group was caught in am ambush, and the knight’s squire was killed and Todd managed to grab the knight’s arm as he rolled off a ledge. With his great strength, he pulled him up, getting struck by multiple rocks. Standing once again, the knight managed to slay several, while Todd covered his back. Impressed with the courage of Todd and his physical capability, he offered him the role of his squire – which he gladly took. The knight and Todd waled over the pass, eventually finding the Sir Halleon’s horse that had been driven away with magical fear. They traveled for months on his mission, and then picked up an item for Gaenor and returned to Nettlemist. His parents and the locals were proud of his accomplishments. He traveled with Sir Halleon for 3 more years, going to Northgate Garrison and spending time on the cold wall, defending against the hordes of undead that menace the pass and threaten all the civilized lands. Sir Halleon was killed there, ending Todd’s path to knighthood. He returned to Country Faer just as peace was breaking out with Gwinn and the Grand Duchy of Dunstrand. He had to sell most of what the knight had left him to travel back home. When he got there, the mercenaries hired during the war made it a lean time as he had to compete with them. He went west, towards the coast and the Barony of Crestwold. There in Torrelsons Ford, he waiting for an opportunity as he had heard Orrish were raiding from Dwindor Swamp.

Chronicle – Coming to the Party

Eventually, the escalating Orrish attacks in the area caused the re-hiring of mercenaries. He watched a couple bands leave and hunt the dark spawn. One group came back wounded. Believing them to be competent enough to travel with, he asked to join them on their next sojourn hunting the goblins.
