| '''Magnus Hyphen Terry "The Hammer" Burnsides''' is a player character in ''The Adventure Zone Arc: Balance'' campaign controlled by Travis McElroy. He is a human fighter who was trained in rogue skills by Carey Fangbattle during the third Lunar Interlude. He has a lawful good alignment with a history of carpentry. He once made a pretty awesome chair, impressing the entire town and becoming a folk hero. Helping with this are his roots as "common folk" and his rustic charm. Magnus is a "man of action" who believes that "thinking is for other people." | | '''Merle Hitower Highchurch''' is a player character in ''The Adventure Zone: Balance'' campaign controlled by Clint McElroy. He is a beach dwarf cleric and former mercenary soldier with a neutral good alignment who enjoys long walks on the beach. He was formerly associated with Marthammor Duin, the dwarf god of wanderers, travelers, and outcasts; and a Disciple of Life, but it was retconned so that his allegiance is to the nature god Pan at the conclusion of the Moonlighting mini-arc. He is from a big family of the Rockseeker clan with many cousins. |

| | '''Key:''' |
| | |
| * '''Fighting Style'''
| |
| ** '''Protection Fighter''': While wielding a shield, Magnus can impose disadvantage on attack rolls against characters within 5 feet.
| |
| * '''Second Wind''': Magnus has a limited well of stamina that he can draw on to protect himself from harm. On Magnus' turn, he can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + his fighter level. Once he uses this feature, Magnus must finish a short or long rest before he can use it again.
| |
| * '''Action Surge''': Magnus can push himself beyond his normal limits for a moment. On Magnus' turn, he can take one additional action on top of his regular action and a possible bonus action.
| |
| * '''Martial Archetype: Battle Master'''
| |
| ** '''Maneuvers'''
| |
| *** ''Commander's Strike'' - When Magnus takes the Attack action on his turn, he can forgo one of his attacks and use a bonus action to direct one of his companions to strike.
| |
| *** ''Disarming Attack'' - When Magnus hits a creature with a weapon attack, he can expend one superiority die to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of his choice that it’s holding.
| |
| *** ''Goading Attack'' - When Magnus hits a creature with a weapon attack, he can expend one superiority die to attempt to goad the target into attacking him.
| |
| *** ''Parry'' - When another creature damages Magnus with a melee attack, he can use his reaction and expend one superiority die to reduce the damage by the number he rolls on his superiority die + his Dexterity modifier.
| |
| *** ''Riposte'' - When a creature misses Magnus with a melee attack, he can use his reaction and expend one superiority die to make a melee weapon attack against the creature.
| |
| *** ''Precision Strike'' - When Magnus makes a weapon attack roll against a creature, he can expend one superiority die to add it to the roll.
| |
| ** '''Know Your Enemy''': If Magnus spends at least one minute observing or interacting with a creature outside combat, he can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to his own.
| |
| * '''Extra Attack''': Magnus can attack three times instead of once, whenever he takes the Attack action on his turn.
| |
| * '''Indomitable''': Magnus can reroll a saving throw that he fails. If he does so, he must use the new roll, and he can't use this feature again until he finishes a long rest.
| |
| | |
| === Rogue ===
| |
|
| |
|
| * '''Expertise''': Magnus chooses two of their skill proficiencies or one of his skill proficiencies and his proficiency with thieves’ tools. Magnus' proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check he makes that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
| | '''Note:''' |
| * '''Stealth Attack''': When attacking with advantage while using a finesse weapon or a ranged weapon, Magnus adds 1d6 damage on the attack.
| |
| * '''Thieves' Cant''': During Magnus' rogue training, he learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows him to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves cant understands such messages.
| |
| * '''Cunning Action''': Once per turn, Magnus can take a bonus action and either dash, disengage or hide.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Feats === | | ==Explanations== |

|
| * '''Dual Wielder''': Magnus mastered fighting with two weapons, gaining the following benefits:
| | ==Gallery== |
| ** He gains a +1 bonus to AC while he is wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand.
| |
| ** He can use two-weapon fighting even when the one-handed melee weapons he is wielding aren’t light.
| |
| ** He can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when he would normally be able to draw or stow only one.
