Avenger

The Avenger druid has seen Nature suffer great wrongs and they seek to redress those ills.

Role

This druid is a grim, strong, and silent warrior of the wilds. This druid has little time for anything but his mission, although he's as patient as a spider when it serves his plans. A loner, he avoids love or friendship, fearing either could compromise his mission; if he associates with a party of adventurers, he treats them as allies, but not as friends. The Avenger rarely speaks more than absolutely necessary to humans and most demi-humans (although he may talk to animals or sylvan races like wood elves). He doesn't bother to explain or justify his actions. The Avenger dislikes remaining in one place, and frequently moves on after finishing a particular job.

Special Benefits

The Avenger receives an additional free weapon proficiency slot to use for any proficiency his branch allows.

Special Hindrances

The druid's grim and silent demeanor gives the character a -1 penalty to reaction adjustment from people in encounters. Avengers, cannot have henchmen, hirelings, mercenaries, or servants until they reach 13th level. They can have any amount of treasure, but cannot own more treasure and equipment than they can carry on their back - any excess must go to a worthy cause.
