Vlad Táltos

From Shadowfell Geographic Society

Vlad is a Human Brutal Rogue 1 with Dex 20 (+5), Two-Weapon Fighting, and Backstabber.

With Leather armor, his AC is 17. His reflex save is 16 (Rogue bonus), his fortitude save is 11, and his will save is 10. He has 22 HP, a Bloodied threshold of 11, and 6 Healing Surges per day, each of 5 HP.

Vlad's Thievery skill is at +10 (Dex, Trained). His other skills lag the average party skill.

He typically uses a short sword in his right hand and a dagger in his off hand, and carries a brace of spare daggers and a set of shuriken---little sharp things to distract and annoy enemies concealed in every fold and pocket. The daggers are thrown if he doesn't have time to draw the shuriken without dropping a dagger anyway.

His typical attack is +5 (Dex) +3 (Short sword proficiency bonus) +1 (Rogue weapon bonus) = +9 to hit. It does d6 (Shortsword) + 5 (Dex) + 1 (Two-weapon-fighting) damage. When he has combat advantage, he does an extra +2d8 (Backstabber) + 2 (Str, from Brutal Scoundrel). An attack with Combat Advantage then does d6+2d8+8.

His typical attack is Deft Srike, which is a Dex/AC attack as above that lets him move (not shift) 2 spaces before striking. It is ranged or melee.

If he doesn't actually have to move 2 extra before striking, he can use Piercing Strike, a Dex/Ref strike as above. He's happiest when he gets to use Riposte Strike, a Dex/AC strike as above that sets up a counterattack if that target attacks *anybody* before the start of Vlad's next turn. The counterattack is, sadly, a Str/AC attack for [W]+Str damage.

His encounter power is Dazing Strike, a Dex/AC strike as above that dazes the target until the end of Vlad's next turn. This is great because Dazed targets grant combat advantage.

His Daily power is Easy Target, yet another way to hit AC for a bunch of damage (2W, 2d6+2d8+8) and with a Slowed/CA(save ends both) effect.
