Description

General

Sylvester von Valeskeep is the son of Lord Tyron currently fighting on the warfront out East as a Major in the king's army. Unlike his father and many others, he feels very passionately about the war, wishing to do what he can to minimize casualties on his side, but still willing to take up arms. He and his father have become estranged, for reasons that have not yet been revealed. Unfortunately, because of his father, he is frequently too quick to accuse people of hidden motives and tends to be fairly blunt with his suspicions. He also developed an affinity for climbing as a child and has become very skilled at it as a result.

Mannerisms

Despite Tyron's perception of him, Sylvester tends to err strongly on the side of caution. He has high impulse-control with an excessive sense of responsibility, and, as a result, he frequently suffers from anxiety. He speaks in a soft, but direct tone and has thicker skin than his father does.

Ideals

Justice. "What little good there is in this world is worth protecting, and I shall guard it with my life if I must."

Bonds

Tyron von Valeskeep, the warfront

Flaws

Paranoia. "Do you think me so unwise as to fall for such an obvious ruse?"

1/day: Turn the Unholy. As an action, you can censure fiends and undead. Each fiend or undead that can see or hear you within 30 ft. must make a WIS saving thow (DC 13). On failure, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.

3/day:
    • Protection from Evil and Good. (Concentration, up to 10 minutes) Protects the target from abberations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. Creatures of these types have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature. If the target already is, they have advantage on any new saving throw against that effect.
    • Sanctuary. (1 minute) A creature is warded from attack. Until the spell ends, any creature who targets the warded creature with an attack or harmful spell must first make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 13). On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell. This spell doesn't protect the warded creature from area effects. If the warded creature makes an attack, casts a spell that affects an enemy, or deals damage to another creature, this spell ends.
    • Lesser Smite. If Sylvester makes a sucuccessful attack this turn, it deals an additional 2d8 2d8 radiant damage, and an additional 1d8 against undead or fiends.
    • Lesser Restoration. Sylvester can touch a creature and can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned.
    • Greater Smite. If Sylvester makes a sucuccessful attack this turn, it deals an additional 3d8 3d8 radiant damage, and an additional 1d8 against undead or fiends.
    • Zone of Truth. Range/Area 60 ft./15 ft. Duration 10 minutes. Creates a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of Sylvester's choosing within range. Until the spell ends, a creature that enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Charisma saving throw (DC 13). On a failed save, a creature can't speak a deliberate lie while in the radius, and Sylvester learns who succeeds and who fails.
  1. Divine Sense. As an action, he can detect good and evil. Until the end of his next turn, he can sense anything affected by the hallow spell or know the location and creature type of any celestial, fiend, and undead within 60ft. that is not behind total cover.


Special Abilities

  • Aura of Protection. While conscious, all friendly creatures (including Sylvester himself) within 10ft of him are granted a +2 bonus to all saving throws.
  • Aura of Devotion. While conscious, creatures within 10 ft. (including Sylvester himself) can't be charmed.
  • Mask of the Wild. Slyvester can attempt to hide even when only lightly obscured.

Actions

  • Multiattack. If he so desires, Sylvester may make two attacks as his action.
    • Morningstar. Melee weapon attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. Hit: 1d8+3 (1d8+3) piercing damage
    • Unarmed Strike. Melee attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. Hit: 4 bludgeoning damage


Bonus Action

  Sanctuary can be cast as a Bonus Action

Reactions

Protection. While wielding a shield, and a creature Sylvester can see attacks a target other than him within 5 ft., he can use his reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.

Relationship Reasoning

Both of them have a mutual respect for the work of the other. While Aisley does believe that Slyvester should be working more against his father than he is, she still finds him to be an honorable man and speaks highly of him. Sylvester has a great appreciation for her work, which hinders Tyron's greed-driven efforts. Although he will, at some point, have to bring the hammer of the law down upon her, she is aware of this, and their goals are aligned in the meantime.
