How To Play Joss Freeman Crs

Playing Joss Humans get higher defenses and an extra feat and at-will exploit. Rogues have Sneak Attack, which is a basic attack (not an exploit) made when he has Combat Advantage (CA) vs. the target. It adds 2d6+2 damage. This works with any of his weapons, like 1d4+2d6+4 with his dagger, or 3d6+5 with his hand crossbow, so you should always try to be attacking with CA, PHB 279. He gets CA from the usual ways, including flanking, but also while hiding using Stealth, from the rogue ability: First Strike, and from hitting with his daily exploit: Easy Target. He has a +8 in Stealth, PHB 188, to help him achieve CA against a target who isn’t aware of him. First Strike gives him CA against targets who haven’t acted yet in the encounter, which includes targets who didn’t beat his initiative. His initiative is +7. Exploits are arranged in separate columns, one for each weapon. Piercing Strike ignores armor. Save Riposte Strike for if he gets into a long or one-on-one melee fight. It gives him an immediate interrupt, which means he actually stops the target from making an attack. King’s Castle lets you to switch him in and out of combat with your adjacent character if one of them gets wounded too badly, like tag-team wrestling. Easy Target gives him CA against the target if it fails its save. Weapons: Draw both rapier and hand crossbow at the beginning of combat; there is no left-hand penalty for the crossbow. Fire that from behind cover with concealment if possible. Reloading it is a free action. The rapier can be ready for when he gets into melee. Skills: Despite the fact that I like to hear myself talk, his Bluff and Diplomacy are only +1. He is a physical rogue; Athletics, Acrobatics, Stealth and Thievery are his best skills. Insight and Perception are OK too. Personality: Smart-alecky atheist who has a problem with authority, but he is also a war veteran who witnessed the enemy’s armada annihilate his whole army. Must use Firefly jargon at least once or twice for his only magic item, a Brown Coat, to function.
