Description
As a child, Andrew David was kidnapped by caprae, and was raised among them until he was rescued by his brother, Richard. He considers himself as much beast and fey as he does human, and he rarely leaves the indoor forest. He is married to Isidora Amber.
Andrew Davis makes effective use of his ranger spells, both in combat and out. He is likely to spy upon the PCs with beast sense. When the Hunt rides, he uses pass without trace. In combat, he will use both hunters mark and ensnaring strike.
The indoor forest is his creation. After his rescue, he never felt at home until he began turning the family gardens into his own reflection of Thelanis. When he married Isidora, she began to aid him in his transformations. He is extremely protective of the forest and its inhabitants. He is aware of Kavitha and her true nature and is wary of her.
Andrew David carries a flail +1 and a potion of greater healing, and he wears a ring of plant control (see Appendix D: New Items). His breastplate has a beautifully enameled pattern of leaves on it, and is worth 750 gp.
