[QUOTE="J-H, post: 7999062, member: 7020951"] I built mine as a PC with some nice gear.... the conceit of the CV series is generally that a single man with blessed equipment and a lot of grit can overcome every challenge in the castle using no overtly magical abilities. NPC builds with new features open up a lot of possibilities for him being lower level. [spoiler] Human Champion 20 Str 20 (+5), Dex 14 (+2), Con 20 (+5), Int 10 (0), Wis 14 (+2), Cha 10 (+0) Feats: 1) Shield Master: Shield AC bonus (+4) to Dex saves; bonus action shove when attacking; use reaction to take no damage on a successful Dex save for half. 2) Resilient (WIS): +1 Wisdom, Proficiency in saves using Wis. Items: [B]+3 Breastplate Belmont Whip +3 (A)[/B] The Belmont whip is artifact-grade, given its long history. Stats inspired by the Sword of Kas & Mace of Disruption: -Base damage 1d6, deals bludgeoning damage (chain whip) -Bonus damage 1d10 fire damage -Deals 2d10 radiant damage to undead -Undead with fewer than 25hp must make a Wis DC15 save or be destroyed; on a successful save, they are frightened of the bearer for 1 round -Bearer may cast Hero's Feast once per day (Turkey legs all over the castle?) Plus a few minor properties. Attunable only by a blood member of Belmont Family [B]Ring Of Protection +2 (A)[/B] Simon actually picks up a ring in CV2. This boosts his AC & saves even more. [B]Shield of Resistance against Evil (A)[/B] This shield +2 grants resistance to fire, necrotic, and posion damage. Advantage on saves versus Fear & Charm. Saves: Str +13 Dex +8 Con +13 Int +2 Wis +10 Cha +2 224hp. Second Wind for 1d10+20hp once per short rest Regenerate 10hp/rd if under half health 2 action surges per short rest 4 attacks per round Athletics +11, and +5' to long jump distance, for all those platforming areas. Indomitable, 3 saving throw re-rolls Dueling Fighting Style Defense Fighting Style Superior Critical: Crit on 18-20 [B]Final AC & to-hit:[/B] AC 26 Belmont Whip +14 (x4 attacks, crit 18-20) for 1d6+10 bludg, 1d10 fire damage, 2d10 radiant vs undead [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
