Source: Player's Handbook You use shields not just for protection but also for offense. You gain the following benefits while you are wielding a shield: If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield. If you aren't incapacitated, you can add your shield's AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you. If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you can use your reaction to take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, interposing your shield between yourself and the source of the effect. Runes (2 Known) Runes Runes (7th or Higher) 2 Known Cloud Rune Cloud Rune. This rune emulates the deceptive magic used by some cloud giants. While wearing or carrying an object inscribed with this rune, you have advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks and Charisma (Deception) checks. In addition, when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to invoke the rune and choose a different creature within 30 feet of you, other than the attacker. The chosen creature becomes the target of the attack, using the same roll. This magic can transfer the attack's effects regardless of the attack's range. Once you invoke this rune, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest. nt... Stone Rune Stone Rune. This rune's magic channels the judiciousness associated with stone giants. While wearing or carrying an object inscribed with this rune, you have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks, and you have darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. In addition, when a creature you can see ends its turn within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to invoke the rune and force the creature to make a Wisdom saving throw. Unless the save succeeds, the creature is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed in this way, the creature has a speed of 0 and is incapacitated, descending into a dreamy stupor. The creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Once you invoke this rune, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Rather than suffer a lifetime of verbal abuse from society, she ran from the mountains into human society to join the Luthger Bros. Circus. Being a 'rare' race to most audiences, the dwarven brother duo who ran the circus were quick to sign Varta up, sometimes as a wrestler, sometimes as an assistant for magic and/or acrobatics, and others as a performer who did many feats of strength to the amazement of their audiences. Known as 'The Rockgrinder', she made a passable living for a few years while meeting a great variety of people, races, and performers. Everything changed when one day, after a show in a dwarven city, Varta went out exploring and accidentally discovered an old cave that had been forgotten just outside the city. Varta explored the insides and found a number of things written in Giant, a tongue she knew from her days growing up. She was no scholar, but Varta found enough to learn that 1000 years ago, the dwarves of this ancient city used to study the tongues and writings of giants, and that some of those who mastered the complex runes learned great magical power from them. There were even sketches of dwarves who were far too tall to be anything short of a Hill Giant, something that strained credulity. Of course, the cave Varta was in DID have a very high ceiling... In any case, she made rubbings and sketches of the various runes held within the cave. After meeting Sulli Tamdrek, the smith who traveled along with the circus, Varta spent many evenings studying with him to learn the craft, and after a year, she dared to carve several runes upon her own armor and shield. The power from the ancient Giant Magic was immediate and intense, enough to greatly increase her size, strength, and to give her abilities from the various Giants of both today and ages past. Personality Quirks: Background PHB: Entertainer Personality Traits: I hate to lose and I love competition as it makes me strive for self improvement Ideal: I was shamed in the past, but I shall make a name for myself, and perhaps take care of my friends along the way. Bond: I will not be shamed again. I will protect my loved ones from the same dishonor. Flaw: I...don't react well to loss, humiliation, and sometimes try too hard to avoid them. Specialty: Varta feels that her duty is to defend her friends and allies while improving herself into the ultimate Goliath warrior, one whose prowess will one day shame the very people who cast her out for being such a failure.

She felt as if she was losing her mind just as the Cloud Giant magic suddenly made its way from her breastplate to the enemy. Thankfully this major reversal of fortune was enough to tip the scales in the party's favor. The Goliath looked down at the tiny creature by her feet and shook her head. "You're too dangerous to just leave here, punk. Time to go back to nilbog heaven. Tell them that a Htailog sent you there!" Varta lowered her axes in a series of vicious swipes as she also bashed at the tiny thing with her shield. Mechanics Main Hand: Battleaxe Off Hand: Shield Action: Two attacks against Goblin 1 Bonus Action: Shield Bash on Goblin One meant to push it over. Reaction: Move: Varta heads over to Goblin 1 since she can't yet reach Goblin two. Manipulate: one free object interaction goes here.
