Rose is NOT an adventurer by choice, let alone a professional one....  Merely trying to get home to the Wildwood Inn in Karemiekos.Rose is also not really a skilled fighter.  One of the things the orcs liked to do was throw her into a pit with assorted wild animals & a hand axe/spear/etc.  They found her terrified flailings hilarious....   I have her always fight recklessly (Reckless Attack) to simulate this lack of training.   Rages....  Starting on round 2 or 3 I begin making Saves vs Fear.  Eventually Rose fails & goes berserk, hacking at whatever's within reach - friend or foe. (this works sooo much better in PF where there's a really awful arch-type made to do exactly this - be a danger to everything within reach) Ancestral Guardian path.  Modified by the DM.When Rose rages she's surrounded by several spectral orcs who protect her, not the rest of the party.  She doesn't see them, only allies/enemies do.So atm, the 1st creature trying to hit me does so at disadvantage, & I'm required to use my reaction to block 2d6 of the 1st damage I'm dealt.  This is not under my control as a player.  I'm OK with that.These spectral orcs are also the "source" of Roses S/P/B damage resistance when raging.</blockquote>
