You enter every situation with a plan in mind and the determination to pull through the hardships life puts before you. With a stoic glare and more muscles than a jacked up barbarian imbued with power by Kord himself, you walk confidently down the path you have forged for yourself, knowing that there are none who would stand in your way. With a skip in your step and an explosion at your back, you propel yourself into all the dangers and endeavors of the adventure before you-believing...nay...KNOWING that the universe will bend to your will so that you can continue your quest to be added to the books of legend.

Feature: Dangerously Charismatic
There is an air about you that puts frightened hearts at ease and makes others want to follow your lead. If you are in good standing in a particular place, the people will heed your warnings and be calmed by your presence. If you have performed good deeds in a particular village or city, the local guards can feel inclined to follow your orders. When you manage to subdue enemy, your strong voice has a chance (25%) to convince the evil-doer to surrender without resorting to crazed violence or acts of martyrdom.
Suggested Characteristics
Action Heroes always act in a way that furthers a pursuit of justice or acts to protect those that they care for. They will do whatever they believe to be necessary to pursue this end, and will stick (sometimes stubbornly) to their ideals and philosophies.
