Captain Thork Ironknight

Brute. Thork's melee weapon attacks deal one extra die of damage on a hit (included in the attacks below).

Indomitable (1/Day). Thork can reroll a failed saving throw.

Battle Mastery. Thork can use special maneuvers to control the battlefield and enhance his attacks. He has four superiority dice (d10s) and regains them after a short or long rest. Maneuver options include:

• Disarming Attack. Add 1d10 damage to an attack and force the target to succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or drop an item.

• Precision Attack. Add 1d10 to an attack roll after seeing the roll but before the DM determines the outcome.
• Sweeping Attack. When Thork hits a creature with a melee attack, he can deal the weapon’s damage to another creature within 5 feet of the original target.

Orcish Fury. When Thork hits with a melee weapon attack, he can deal an extra 7 (1d8) damage once per turn.

Parry. Thork adds +3 to his AC against one melee attack that would hit him, provided he can see the attacker and is wielding a melee weapon.

Unstoppable Strike. When a creature reduces Thork to below half his hit points, he can immediately make one melee weapon attack against the creature as a reaction.
