About Shrec the Powerful

Noble at heart, and fiercely loyal to his friends, Valeros nevertheless hides
such sentiments under a jaded and crass demeanor, frequently observing that
there’s nothing better than ending a day with an evening of hard drinking and
a night of soft company.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Combat Reflexes Valeros may make up to four attacks of opportunity
in a round, and may make attacks of opportunity when flat-footed.
Dirty Fighter When Valeros hits while flanking, he deals 1 additional
point of damage. This damage is added to his base damage and is
multiplied on a critical hit.
Two-Weapon Defense Valeros gains a +1 shield bonus to his AC
when wielding two weapons (already included in his stats). This
bonus increases to +2 when he fights defensively or uses the total
defense action.
Two-Weapon Fighting Valeros fights with a weapon wielded in
each hand and can attack with both during the same round when
he makes a full attack. The first melee attack line listed for him
includes all the attacks and appropriate bonuses.
Valeros was born on a quiet farm, and grew up dreaming of adventure
and exploration. Though this longing only increased as he grew
older, so did the responsibilities of agricultural life. Finally, just a
month before a marriage of convenience to a local farmer’s daughter
could lock him into place, Valeros came to the realization that the
door to a life of adventure was closing for good. Seized by a desperate
need for a larger life than tending to cattle and corn, Valeros quietly
packed up his few possessions and left in the middle of the night.
In the years since, Valeros has come a long way from the wideeyed young man who sought only the joy of exploration (and maybe
a pretty girl or three). Life on the road is much harder than the
bards’ tales suggest, and the adult Valeros has the scars to prove
it. Having found himself to be a deft hand with a sword, Valeros
quickly fell in with the mercenary crowd, learning the dirtier,
grittier facts of warfare. After acting as hired muscle for dozens of
different employers, Valeros finally realized that it was time to go
into business for himself as an adventurer.
Though he’s admittedly not the best at following orders, Valeros is
an extremely talented two-blade fighter, easily earning his keep in any
group through the tenacity and absolute fearlessness—some might say
thoughtlessness—with which he f lings himself into combat. Despite
his reputation as a bruiser and scoff law, Valeros has picked up a fair
amount of education during his travels, and can even read (something
his “respectable” parents never learned to do). Valeros takes an easycome, easy-go approach to life, wealth, and relationships.
Though a fan of fine weapons and creature comforts, Valeros is
never without a tankard on his belt (after all, you never know when
someone might offer you a drink). This vessel also symbolizes
Valeros’s devotion to Cayden Cailean, the god of bravery, ale,
freedom, and wine—all things Valeros loves with great passion
