- Unarmored DefenseLevel 1
While not wearing armor, your base Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. Lagertha uses this calculation for an AC of 14, but her current recorded AC is 12 because she commonly fights in minimal clothing and carries her shield in a way that leaves her unprotected when not actively using it.

You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws unless you are Incapacitated.

Lagertha follows the Path of the Berserker, channeling her Rage into overwhelming violence.

While your Rage is active, if you use Reckless Attack, the first target you hit on that turn with a Strength-based attack takes extra damage equal to 3d6, with the same damage type as the weapon or Unarmed Strike.

You gain an additional skill proficiency from the Barbarian's Primal Knowledge options. Lagertha gains proficiency in Perception. While raging, you can use Strength for certain skill checks that normally use another ability, as allowed by the feature.

Appearance
Lagertha is a tall, broad-shouldered human woman with weather-darkened skin, powerful arms, and a long auburn braid threaded with iron rings. A pale scar crosses her left eyebrow, and another runs along her jaw from an axe wound sustained during a coastal raid. She wears practical furs over battered leather, a red wool cloak, and a round wooden shield painted with a white raven. Her hands are callused, her stance is always ready for violence, and her expression suggests she is usually trying very hard to understand something complicated.
Mannerisms
Lagertha rolls her shoulders before any difficult conversation as if preparing for a duel. She counts exits, taps her thumb against the rim of her shield when impatient, and gives every meal a solemn sniff before eating. She speaks in blunt, practical sentences and pauses for a long time when someone uses an unfamiliar word.
Personality
Lagertha is fiercely protective, direct, energetic, and cheerfully intimidating. She is not stupid, but her intelligence is practical rather than academic. She understands weather, terrain, morale, weapons, hunger, and the exact moment when a frightened person needs someone to stand in front of them. She is warm with children, suspicious of nobles, devoted to loyal companions, and genuinely delighted by anyone who can teach her something without making her feel foolish.
Ideals
Freedom. No jarl, commander, god, or tradition has the right to make a weapon of a living person. Strength is meant to protect those who have less of it.
Bonds
The people of the abandoned village survived because Lagertha refused to leave them behind. She considers them her family, and she will cross any distance to defend them. She also carries her mother's iron arm ring, which she believes must one day be returned to her clan with proof that Lagertha became more than a weapon.
Flaws
She mistakes confidence for competence, especially her own. Lagertha is quick to challenge anyone who questions her courage, slow to admit that she is lost, and deeply embarrassed by written instructions. When confronted with a problem she cannot understand, she usually tries to hit it, shout at it, or ask the nearest clever person what she should do.
Quirks
Background
Lagertha Eikthyrdottir was born in a storm-battered fjord settlement where every child learned to row before they learned to read. Her mother commanded a shield wall, her father served as a shipwright, and Lagertha inherited the strength of both without inheriting much patience for lessons. While other children learned the old sagas, she practiced spear drills, hauled nets, and wrestled older boys into the mud. Letters never stayed in her head for long, but the rhythm of an oar, the balance of a weapon, and the sound of an enemy breaking formation made perfect sense. As a young woman, Lagertha joined the settlement's war band and served through years of border fighting, raiding, and bitter winter campaigns. She became known for charging first and asking questions afterward, often because she had forgotten the questions by then. During one disastrous battle, her commander ordered a retreat and abandoned a village caught behind the lines. Lagertha disobeyed, rallying frightened soldiers and villagers alike long enough for them to escape. Branded reckless and insubordinate, she left the war band with her shield, her axe, and a promise to protect ordinary people from anyone who treated them as expendable. Now she seeks worthy causes, good food, and companions who can explain plans in fewer than five steps.
