Guard Captain
Guard Captain
Human, U Medium Humanoid
Complex Monster, XP 3200
Level 8 (+4)
"Fall in! I heard a rumor that several soldiers escaped the barracks last night, and went on a merry jaunt around the village, harassing the local barmaids and farmer’s daughters! I assure you all that the offending members were not of my unit, because if they were, heavy disciplinary action would be required, and I know none of you here wish to repeat that experience, do you?!"
——Sanger Locksteel, Captain of the Guard disciplining his men.
Skilled, Strong, Intelligent, and Experienced, the Guard Captain serves as the leader of a unit of guards, typically in service to a military force, royalty, or wealthy nobility. They are armed with well-maintained equipment, favoring a Light Shield, Breastplate armor, and the Broadsword. A Guard Captain is equally skilled in offense and defense, able to protect allies while putting foes at a strong disadvantage. Above all else, the Captain tends to be loyal, otherwise they would not be put in charge of commanding large groups of armed warriors. They always carry out their duties to the best of their ability, and are very difficult to bribe or deceive, serving as an example to all other soldiers of lower rank.
