Ambrose Tubertoes worked as a humble potato farmer just like his father and his father’s father- then Desna intervened. While plowing the fields on a warm spring afternoon, a meteor fell from the sky, striking poor Ambrose. As he drifted off into a dream state, he was given a vision. Four travelers (the party) on an adventure.
The next day, he bought a riding dog named Aeolus for travel, some cheap armor, and a cheap sword. Training every day, he honed his body preparing himself for the task to come. He claimed he was a paladin of Desna, and set about to smiting evil.
The town thought he had lost his wits (and maybe he had), but after singe-handedly defeating an ogre who was rampaging the village, (a poorly-constructed building fell on them both, Ambrose survived) the town wondered if there was some truth to his madness.
Ambrose probably won’t be very bright- the knock to his head definitely caused a bit of damage, so ideally I’ll have a low roll to throw there. He should be relatively strong and brave, with a high charisma and strength. Most of the time he’ll be on his dog since heavy armor and 20 ft. base movement don’t play very well together. As such, he’ll be doing some mounted combat.
He plans on being very loyal and protective of the party, believing one of them to be a “Chosen One of Desna”. The halfling paladin rarely sleeps, but when he does, he experiences intense, vision-filled dreams- sometimes he is out cold for days at a time.
