Description
A constable is generally the highest ranking official of law enforcement in a particular city. They are generally experienced and of high moral ground.
The constable is often forced to hunt down criminals or those on the wrong side of the law. He tends to use non-lethal damage to do so, but at other times lethal force is needed to bring a criminal down, dead or alive. He leads with disarming or trip attacks, giving his quarry a chance to surrender. If they choose to fight, he has no qualms bringing the fight to them. If they choose to flee, he uses Action Surge to follow or to deal additional ranged attacks.
Lair and Lair Actions
Constable's Chambers. The constable’s chambers are simple, spartan, and spotless, much like the constable themselves. A four-post bed with spotless white linen dominates the main bedroom, and a fire smolders in a hearth nearby. A comfortable but straight-backed chair sits beside the fire, dinner uneaten on a tray beside it. Maps lay atop a massive table at the center of the room, and miniature armies stand in formation. Over the hearth, a pair of swords hang, crossed over one another. In one hilt, a topaz; in the other, a ruby.
Barracks. Rows of simple bunkbeds line the walls and center of the room. The stink of sweat lies heavily in the air, mingling with the sharp scent of oils and minerals used to polish armor. Weapons line the walls, ready to be drawn into action by the warriors that reside here. Several soldiers mill about the room and others sleep in the beds, preparing to rise with the moon for their watch.
Training Ground. The yard is split into quadrants, each identical in their dimensions. Racks of training weapons adorn each side—swords, spears, axes, and every weapon between. Shields, too, hang upon tiered racks, and a shelf carries padded training helms, breastplates, and gauntlets of every size. The smell of stale sweat permeates the air, and you see distinct dark spots on the yard where blood has spilled and dried.
