He cannot concentrate on spells or cast spells while raging.

  • Storm Aura, SeaLevel 3

    While raging, Jerry creates a 10-foot aura. When he enters rage, and as a bonus action on later turns, he can activate the sea effect. One creature of his choice in the aura must make a Dexterity saving throw against DC 16, taking 1d6 lightning damage on a failure, or half damage on a success. The aura's damage increases to 1d6 at this level and is unaffected by resistance to nonmagical damage.

    When Jerry scores a critical hit or reduces a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack, he can make one additional melee weapon attack as a bonus action. When using a heavy weapon, he can take a -5 penalty to the attack roll to gain +10 damage if the attack hits. On his turn, he can also make a melee weapon attack as a bonus action after attempting to score a critical hit or reducing a creature to 0 hit points with a melee weapon.

Appearance

Jerry Longhide is a very tall, massively built half-orc with weather-browned skin, a broad nose, heavy shoulders, and long dark hair usually tied with strips of blue cloth. His most memorable feature is the way he moves. He walks with a slow, deliberate rolling gait, placing each foot with unusual care as though crossing thin ice, yet becomes startlingly still when danger appears. Without noticing, he repeatedly checks the thick leather cord wrapped around his left wrist, rubbing the small carved seal hanging from it whenever he is thinking. His clothing is practical and sea-worn, reinforced with layered hide, rope, and patched wool.

Mannerisms

Jerry speaks in a low, measured voice and pauses before answering as if checking the weather inside his own head. He touches the carved seal on his wrist when uncertain, plants his feet wide when listening, and silently counts nearby exits whenever he enters a room. He laughs rarely, but when he does, it arrives suddenly and loudly, like surf striking a sea wall.

Personality

Jerry is patient, observant, and unexpectedly gentle with frightened people. He prefers practical kindness to grand speeches, repairing a broken strap or carrying a stranger's pack without being asked. Around arrogant warriors he becomes dryly amused, inviting them to prove their claims through work rather than boasts. He enjoys bad jokes, strong tea, and listening to people describe places he has never seen.

Ideals

Strength is a shelter. The strong are not entitled to rule, but they are obligated to stand between the helpless and the storm.

Bonds

He carries the carved seal of his drowned settlement's storm-bell keeper. Jerry believes the bell was lost, not destroyed, and intends to find it and return it to the cliffs where it belongs. He is also fiercely protective of travelers, castaways, and anyone who has been left behind by a stronger group.

Flaws

Jerry assumes that anyone who speaks confidently about the sea, wilderness, or danger knows less than they claim. He is slow to forgive abandonment, and once he decides someone has left another person behind deliberately, reason rarely changes his judgment. He also has a dangerous habit of accepting impossible physical challenges simply because someone laughed at the possibility.

Quirks

He names every ship, boat, or wagon he travels in, even if it is not his.
He tests the wind before making important decisions, sometimes by tossing a pinch of flour into the air.
He keeps small pieces of rope from places where people were rescued.
He refuses to sit with his back to an open doorway.
He can identify several kinds of rain by smell alone.

Background

Jerry Longhide was born in a remote fishing settlement where the cliffs were black stone, the storms arrived without warning, and every family kept a storm-bell by the door. His half-orc mother taught him the old coastal routes, while his human father taught him that strength was most useful when spent on someone who could not spend their own. Jerry grew enormous hauling nets, dragging boats above the tide line, and carrying injured sailors through sleet. The name Longhide began as a joke about the thick hide coat he wore through every season, then became a mark of respect after he survived three nights alone on a reef during a winter squall.
