Character Sheet

Description

Orc fighter with AC 22, 40 HP, and Darkvision 180 feet. Speaks Common, Orcish, and Giant. Proficient with smith’s tools and dragonchess. Battle Master subclass means his fighting style is fundamentally about enabling the people around him — Distracting Strike gives allies advantage, Bait and Switch repositions allies out of danger, Rally gives them temporary HP. He also has Interception, which lets him use his reaction to reduce damage dealt to a nearby ally. The orc in the armor who plays dragonchess is not the character most people expect.

Personality

Efficient. Does what needs doing without announcing it. When Berg speaks Orcish to a skeptical orc warrior, it’s not a performance — it’s the shortest path to the outcome. Accepted a vial of red snake oil as a “speed potion” from Dr. Medicine and has not yet asked any follow-up questions.

Session Notes

• Session 1: Used Adrenaline Rush to sprint through razor snow; Interception reaction protected allies repeatedly; used Relentless Endurance (Orc trait) to survive a killing blow
• Session 2: Distracting Strike gave River advantage on the Ice Toad; Bait and Switch repositioned Alina out of piercer reach; drank the Potion of Growth in the Owlbear fight and Action Surged for 16 piercing damage — enough to drive her off
• Session 3: Spoke Orcish to Kaarsk; pulled the party through the Athletics check to keep pace; Action Surged on the wolf pack leader for the killing blow; Kaarsk has been quietly revising his assessment

Relationships

• Party: Alina Shandorath, Dr. Medicine, Roaring River
• Kaarsk: Developing mutual respect — the only outsider Kaarsk treats as a potential equal
