[QUOTE="Erechel, post: 7207002, member: 6784868"] My favourite fighter would be... my current character, Borivik. It is a Human Battlemaster of the FR. He is a folk's hero, because he leaded a revolt against an oppressive church in its native land. He's an atheist after encountering [I]another[/I] of my fighters, the original Gastón, a mercenary and merchant obsessed with bringing down the gods, which he sees as powerful, tyrannical monsters. Nevertheless, Borivik and Gastón are two worlds apart in concept, other than belonging to the same subclass. While Gastón is an old (it is bordering 40 years old in a world without toilets), wise and calmed soldier and mercenary with a knack for weapon's business (he sells his weapons of choice: crossbows of every type), Borivik is a very young, very hot-blooded blacksmith's apprentice (19 years old). And he is [I]strong[/I]. I builded it by rolling dice, with awesome luck. At level 3, he has Str. 18, Dex. 11, Con. 16, Int. 14, Wis 14 and Cha. 14. He has the Shield Master feat, so he has at least +2 to every save, and fights with a longsword and a shield He uses a chainmail, and he has proficiency on Athletics, Survival, Investigation, Animal Handling and Intimidation, and he knows how to use blacksmith's and cartographer's tools. He knows the following maneuvers: Precision, lunging and sweeping attacks. He uses extensively his crowbar, his smithy tools and his shovel (to dig holes, mostly), and like to throw torches on Giant Spider's caves. His personality is convoluted. He is on the run from his ancient enemies: the nobles and church members. He is brash and insolent, but good-hearted and responsible. He is also an alcoholic, prone to risk the success of a mission for a bottle of wine, a thing that he denies (this is his flaw). But he is responsible for its actions: he was prone to sacrifice himself after the Storm god attacked the ship in which he was (well, not really sacrifice, he carried a big barrel with its equipment when he jumped of the ship). He did it because he comprehended that Talos was after its party after they desecrated its temple in Atkathla, killing the high-priest and saving the poor captive to be sacrificed. To do that, he devoted himself to reading about Talos, and entered in a brawl at the Copper's Crown to be noticed by the talosites as an adept. And he won every fist-fight, grabbing its rivals and bashing their heads against the bars. When they entered in the temple in disguise, he grabbed a bottle of wine and jeopardized the mission. But then he saved the party twice, even at his arm's expense (dislocating its shoulder to rescue the other -dexterity- fighter when he fell off the rainy tower and catching the falling warlock also); he also single-handledly shut down the high priest, when the tabaxi monk fell for a Guiding Bolt: run against him and shoved it with its shield, and then grappled his mouth with its attack (at disadvantage, but I'm great, so, yeah: no verbal components to you).

He don't really need the bard's healing: he got his Second Wind and Hit Dice, and its shield and armor to protect him from harm.
