About Gudleifr HervardrGudleifr Hervardr
Favoured Class: Fighter Appearance:
Gudleifr stands 6' 2" and broad with blue eyes, all typical of the Ulfen. His black hair is an oddity, likely the result of some southern blood in his mother's line. He wears this hair in thick braids, both scalp and beard. He is swifter than he appears, both in body and mind. Personality:
Gudleifr is often quite jovial, and is happy to protect his companions from harm with his quick thinking and reflexes. But he has spells of melancholy where little can cheer him. He is a driven man, and refuses to give up on something once he puts his mind to it. Background Notes:
1) I'd like 5+ points that capture the concept and story of the character. More are welcome, but no less than five. * Discontent. He would not be content simply staying put doing steady work anywhere, even on the family farm with his many siblings. * Ambition. He wants to return with wealth and glory and not before. He has heard tales of Oppara, the wealth of the Ulfen Guard, and the glories of the raiders of old. * Shame. There was an incident when he was a teen. He and his youngest brother dared each other to enter an old tomb, with tragic consequences when they encountered a powerful undead. Gudleifr was the only survivor. It has weakened him, but left him with a strange affinity for battling undead. * Cunning. He has a sharp mind and fights tactically. He wields many weapons, and he has a use for them all. * Drive. He is determined, not easily giving up on something once he is committed. Whether boating, swordwork, or climbing, he keeps going. * Black hair. His family all have black hair instead of the lighter colours more common in Ulfen. It is believed that their mother's line have southern ancestry. 2) Two goals that you'd like the character to accomplish in-game. * For Gudleifr to become renowned for his skill at mercenary work in general, but specifically for keeping his allies and charges alive. * For Gudleifr to find a way to forgive himself for his brother's death. 3) Two secrets, one the PC keeps to himself, and one kept from the PC. * Gudleifr has a permanent chillburn on the front of his chest where a powerful undead creature struck him in his youth. It is usually almost invisible. Occasionally, it flares up as a red skeletal handmark, usually when Gudleifr is severely injured or otherwise near death. He hates the idea of anyone seeing it. * There is a curse upon him, but a subtle one. The chillburn will never truly fade until he forgives himself for his brother's death. 4) Three key memories that define your character as the person they are at the time of submission. * His first battle, against bandits along with his family and neighbours. He felt joy at his prowess and potential, and for striking down one of the bandits. * The incident in the tomb. His brother's death, he himself struck, and found outside. * Making the decision to leave Ulfen lands for the south. Macridi, with its wealth, sounded like a fine place to make a name for himself. And perhaps return one day, his shame overcome.

================
A viking is not proficient with heavy armor or tower shields. Bonus Feats
Upon reaching 4th level, and every four levels thereafter (8th, 12th, and so on), a fighter can choose to learn a new bonus feat in place of a bonus feat he has already learned. In effect, the fighter loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. The old feat cannot be one that was used as a prerequisite for another feat, prestige class, or other ability. A fighter can only change one feat at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the feat at the time he gains a new bonus feat for the level. Fearsome (Ex): At 2nd level, a viking can attempt an Intimidate check to demoralize an opponent as a move action. At 10th level, she can do so as a swift action. At 18th level, she can attempt to demoralize a foe as a free action once per round. Hit Points
Future Class Features from Archetype
Shield Defense (Ex): At 3rd level, a viking learns the art of fighting with a shield. Whenever she is wearing medium, light, or no armor and using a shield, the viking’s shield bonus to AC increases by 1. At 7th, 11th, and 15th levels, this bonus increases by 1. This replaces armor training. Berserker (Ex): At 5th level, a viking gains the rage ability as per the barbarian class feature, and she uses her fighter level as her barbarian level for the purposes of determining her rounds of rage, qualifying for rage powers, and determining the effects of rage powers. This replaces weapon training. Rage Powers (Ex): At 6th level, whenever a viking gains a fighter bonus feat, she can instead gain a single rage power, as the barbarian class feature, in place of the bonus feat. Once selected, these rage powers cannot be changed. This alters the fighter’s bonus feats. |
