Sir Yatagan Fracas

Sir Yatagan Fracas is a poet and paladin currently residing in the Shambles. Like most of his people, he prefers to live in the past. Yatagan does this primarily by writing and performing Dragonborn love poetry in the classical style, a form known for it's combination of lyric romanticism and veiled threats of violence. He's also a working poet because frankly, he's not smart enough to be an academic historian, a profession actually respected among his kind. It was the 'study' of ancient Dragonborn poetry that led Yatagan to the 'Dragon Within', religion, and his eventual taking of the Oath of Paladinhood.

Yatagan is an odd combination of charming and revolting, at least by human and fae standards. While he's very charismatic, literally dressed in shining armor, he's also uncomfortably reptilian. His breath weapon is toxic, bacteria-laden saliva. His paladin's 'marking' ability involves him passing his sword under his cloaca, spraying it with his semen, and then flinging it foes. This, naturally, humiliates and enrages them, though it's possible his semen also has some mildly hallucinogenic properties, like the skin of certain frogs. He's also overweight.

Is that a typo or do the Dragonborn in the world of Port get a -5 to religion?

Thanks for catching that. It was a typo.

Are you planning to change his weapon, Scott? You have Weapon Focus (Axes) and a battle axe listed in his equipment, but a longsword listed as his basic attack.

I can see many of you were scarred by being zombie-hugged. Amber was thinking of her 4th lvl feat yesterday and seriously considering Escape Artist for the same reason.

Oddly-enough, frail little Odanais broke free from his zombie hug surprisingly easy.

Odanais isn't weighed down by plate mail. Or morals.

Both of which require more strength than he possesses.

Looks fine, except I think the Athletics should be +6 (+5 trained, +3 Str, +2 level, -4 from plate mail and a heavy shield)

Hmm - Ref 8 points lower than AC and no other defense above 18? Note to self...

+1 Cloak of the Walking Wounded (L4- 680 gp)
-- when using Second Wind, spend 2 Healing Surge Daily

That's not a daily, but is just a property of the item, so it can be used any time you use your second wind (which makes it an encounter power, effectively). But you do have to be bloodied. Also, as a 4th lvl item it costs 840 gp.

I'm a little iffy on the Iron Armbands, since it seems too cheap for a constant +2 to damage, but that's a small quibble. If it becomes a problem (which I'm pretty sure it won't), I might ask you to change it.
