My humble submission for June's #RogueChallenge


My humble submission for June's  #RogueChallenge

Barton, Eye of the Hawk


All That Deserves a Name

The Talons of the Hawk: Bow and Arrows, simple hunting tools, become instruments of preternatural precision in the hands of the Eye of the Hawk. No shot is impossible, just very hard.

Exploding Arrows: charged with fire and lightning, these arrows can damage huge opponents, or dazzle the eyes of a dragon. 

Boomerang Arrow: imbued with arcane enchantment, this arrow hits from unexpected directions. Respect the boomerang.

Lucky: The dog. Not huge or fierce, but loyal and smart, capable of lifting spirits with a lick to the face, or solve a crime with his nose.


Feats Heroic

Jovial: Jumping and vaulting obstacles, the Eye of the Hawk spouts banter and jokes while shooting multiple arrows at the same time, all hitting the mark.

Glum: In the midst of the chaos of battle, time seems to slow down to a halt, sound disappears, a single arrow is nocked, the bow drawn, the shaft flying silent and swift, piercing the target where it is most vulnerable.


Trick

"Ok, this looks bad": Once per game, when deciding the next Phase, you can make it a Perilous Phase and the Thunder must be something that menaces impending doom to your character.

  2. Bro, seriously, bro (thanks Stras ^___^ )

    I was thinking that it could even work as a full-blown advanced game ritual: "ok, this looks bad" means a perilous phase as the first phase of the game, but it must close without resolving, interrupted. Then, the rest of the game takes place in a flashback, leading to the first phase, that is then resolved.

  4. I hope readers of the current run of Hawkeye appreciated the direct and less direct references I put in... the Glum Trick is a panel in one of the issues, specifically this one
