    As an action, you can expend one ranger spell slot to focus your awareness on the region around you to sense if specific types of creatures are within 1 mile.

  • Extra AttackLevel 5

    You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Bonus action

  • Feat: Crossbow ExpertLevel 8

Appearance

Kaelen is a broad shouldered man with a face like a map of old battlefields. He wears salt and pepper hair cropped short and a goatee that he perpetually grooms with a small knife. His gear is worn but meticulously maintained, featuring customized leather holsters for his various crossbow components. His most striking feature is a pair of goggles often pushed up onto his forehead, used for sighting in high winds.

Mannerisms

He tends to stand with his weight on one leg, arms crossed, scouting the high ground of every room he enters.

Personality

Gruff and pragmatic, Kaelen speaks in short, punchy sentences. He has little patience for flowery speeches or high born politics. Despite his cynical exterior, he is fiercely protective of his squadmates and often uses humor as a way to diffuse the tension of a life spent in the dirt.

Ideals

Loyalty. The people standing next to you in the mud are the only thing that matters, not the flags or the kings.

Bonds

I carry the name of every soldier who died under my command. I will never let a teammate die for a pointless cause again.

Flaws

I am deeply suspicious of authority figures and often disobey orders if I think they are strategically unsound.

Quirks

He constantly cleans his crossbow bolts with a silk cloth.
He clicks his tongue twice before taking a shot.

Background

Kaelen served fifteen years in the Royal Marksmen, rising to the rank of Sergeant. He was known for his engineering mind, constantly tinkering with the standardized crossbows to increase their rate of fire. His unit, the Third Volley, was famous for clearing trenches with arching explosive shots that Kaelen designed using alchemist's fire and custom bolts. After a disastrous siege where his commanding officer ordered a suicidal charge to cover a tactical retreat, Kaelen was the only survivor. He took his custom repeating crossbow and walked away from the army, choosing a life where he picks his own battles. He now operates as a mercenary and scout, utilizing his military precision to solve problems that others deem impossible. He still carries the dented insignia of his old unit as a reminder of those he left behind.
