Description

Human aristocrat 7

Before Combat: The aristocrat drinks his potion of heroism. He then calls rat swarms with his pipes of the sewers.

During Combat: The aristocrat sends his rats forward and hides behind allies. If alone, he uses Combat Expertise to prolong the fight in the hope that help will arrive in time to save him.

Base Statistics: Without heroism, the aristocrat’s statistics are Perception +0; Fort +2, Ref +2; Will +7; Melee mwk rapier +5 (1d6–1/18–20); Skills –2 on all skills.

The mayor has taken to wearing a chain shirt beneath his clothing in the event that illicit lenders come calling to collect the money he owes.
