About Heimoth

Appearance: 5’6", 135 lbs. Heimoth is a tiny wisp of a man - his considerable strength and toughness come as much from willpower as it does from bodily strength. He is olive-skinned and clean-shaven with blue eyes and short brown hair. Though fundamentally decent, well-intentioned and unflinchingly loyal, he is also impulsive, bad-tempered and intense, and his face is often drawn into a fierce scowl.

Powers:

At-will:
* Divine challenge: Minor action, close burst 5 range. Marks one target. It suffers a -2 penalty to attack any other target than me and takes (3+CHA mod=5) damage if it attacks any other target other than me before my next turn. I must engage the target on his next turn - if I don't, the effect ends. Otherwise, the target remains marked until I mark a new target, but a creature can only have one mark at a time.
* Lay on hands (2/day): Minor action. Touch heals 7 points of damage on target and uses one of the paladin's healing surges. Only usable once per round.
* Holy strike: Standard action, single target, melee range. Hit does radiant damage; attack vs. marked target gets WIS bonus on damage. Attack: STR vs. AC. Attack bonus +8, damage 1d8+4, increased to 1d8+6 vs. marked target.
* Valiant strike: Standard action, single target, melee range. +1 STR per enemy adjacent to me. Attack: STR vs. AC. Attack bonus and damage adjusted for new STR score (18=+4, 20=+5 etc).

Encounter:
* Channel Divinity - Divine mettle: Minor action. Close burst 10 range. One ally within the burst makes a saving throw with my CHA bonus (+2).
* Channel Divinity - Divine strength: Minor action, personal range. Receive STR bonus as bonus damage on next attack (i.e. +3 additional damage).
* Piercing smite: Standard action, single target, melee range. Hit marks target and up to two enemies adjacent to me are marked until the end of my turn. Attack: STR vs. REFLEX. Attack bonus +8, damage 2d8+4.

Daily:
* Paladin's judgement: Standard action, single target, melee range. Successful hit does damage and allows ally within 5 squares to use a healing surge. Miss still allows an ally within 5 squares to use a healing surge. Attack: STR vs. AC. Attack bonus +8, damage 3d8+4.
* Astral speech: Minor action, personal range. I receive a +4 power bonus to Diplomacy until the end of the encounter.

Background: Heimoth was born to minor nobles in the Razmirian border town of Tymon. However, the family had to flee after one of the priesthood's innumerable purges, where Heimoth's dad, a popular councilman, was accused of heresy and sedition. The family left everything behind as they took off for a new life in Brevoy. These days, Heimoth's parents lead a reasonably comfortable life as tutors at an academy in New Stetven, but Heimoth, bored at his job as a city watchman, dreams of restoring his family's position and reputation; though he can't return to Razmirian, he hopes his Brevoy commission will enable him to carve out a new realm where his family can play a prominent role.

Background features:
* Primary occupation: Military (+2 Endurance). Heimoth is currently an officer of the New Stetven city guard and used to be a Razmirian marine officer.
* Secondary features: Geography (urban), Occupation (scholar), Occupation (mariner). Heimoth's family is cosmopolitan, political and well educated; in addition, Heimoth has a naval background.
