Cannon Fodder[edit]
You are the worst soldier your nation has ever seen, however you can take a beating, on the battle field you used your prowess to draw fire away from your comrades. You've spent a lot of time visiting the graves of friends you failed to save and therefore buried. You may add one d4 to your hit die rolls at every level (Meant for players that die a lot *Anthony*)
Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, Performance
Tool Proficiencies: Shovel
Languages: Celestial
Equipment: Busted up armor, a note from a hero you saved in battle thanking you
Feature: Fearless[edit]
Despite all odds you will always protect companions
Alternate Feature: <-Braindead->[edit]
You've taken a few too many blows to the head and now you tend to do things a sane man normally wouldn't
