Samm Cutler, Seasoned Sailor Male Human Tempest Fighter, Level 4 Height: 5'9"
Weight: 70kg
Age: 29
Alignment: Unaligned
Deity: Melora
Background: Nelanther Isles
Theme: Mercenary
Samm is a fairly wiry individual, but his lean frame belies his steely whipcords of muscles. A life of sailing, sometimes on less salubrious vessels have left him tough and hardy, with a strong survival instinct. His lessons on survivability didn't come easily however, and he looks heavily weathered, and older than his years thanks to hard work and sometime little food and sleep. He sports many a scar from his early days bar scuffles and shipboard fights, before he learnt how to guard himself better, and use his speed to his advantage. The most notable scar he has however runs along his right jaw-line - all the way from the middle of his ear to his chin - and carries with it an equally ugly grudge which he often shares after a few beers in port with anyone who'll listen.
Samm is hard-bitten and cynical - a reflection on a life spent fighting for survival against his fellow man and the elements. His trust is hard to earn, and although his loyalty is easily brought with sufficient coin he will never betray a contract once signed unless in exception circumstances; if you hire Samm Cutler for a journey you can be sure he will never betray you just for the promise of more coin. He has only defaulted on a contract once, which was due to his unwillingness to slaughter the defenceless citizens of a coastal town - and even then he returned the money (albeit before being thrown overboard and left for dead). Virtue: LOYALTY - Once forged, his friendship is stronger than a Ark Dwarf's finest sword.Vice: GREED - Gold & Drinking & Gambling, although the gold usually goes towards more gambling and drinking...
Other Races: Being fairly superstitious, he tends to be suspicious of the Ash Elves and Tieflings, like most of the population, and is quick to blame one of them if anything goes wrong on a mission and there's one to hand.Magic: Samm has little truck with magic, especially the flashy stuff, and often says that he prefers something solid he can rely on in a bind, which mostly just means something he understands. Artifice magic he views as more of a toy, something for nobles and the rich to play with, although he does concede it has its uses the fact he has lived most his life at sea means that he has very rarely benefited from its products. He does have respect for Primal, or Life magic however, anyone who can even vaguely influence or predict the patterns of the weather at sea is rightly revered.Organisations: Samm's relationship with the law, which is in practice the Rahyr, is temperamental at best. Whilst many of his voyages centred around more forceful acquisitions have been under a Letter of Marque, he's never really seen this as that much of a necessity, and has on ore than one occasion had some narrow escapes because of this. Whilst he's never been caught for any of his misdemeanours, he maintains a healthy respect for the law, much like one does for a rival, although he doesn't go out of his way to court risk. He also views the Rahyr as mostly a law force for the rich - growing up in the Undercity was rough, and he quickly learnt to look after himself when it came to crime. It's a dog eat dog world down there, and a reputation as a dog with sharp teeth goes a long way to making life slightly more peaceful, even if a couple of examples are needed every now and then.
Just the key points for now:and its captain after all, and wake the man. By now he had raised the alarm, and although it was clear that the mutineers had the upper hand, the remaining soldiers put up enough of a fight for Samm to have time to launch one of the longboats, and throw his trident and charge in before following himself. Thankfully the cloudy night the mutineers had chosen to hide their own movements also hid Samm and the Captain as the vessel left, still under sail.

CLASS FEATURES
In combat, it’s dangerous to ignore a fighter. Every time you attack an enemy, whether the attack hits or misses, you can choose to mark that target. The mark lasts until the end of your next turn. While a target is marked, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls if its attack doesn’t include you as a target. A creature can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a mark that was already in place. In addition, you gain the Combat Challenge power.
Combat Challenge
