Traits

Goliath Traits:

  • Mountain Born: You are acclimated to high altitudes, including elevations above 20,000 feet. You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you are immune to the effects of high altitude.
  • Powerful Build: You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Rage: On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following benefits:

  • You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
  • When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a bonus to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels (2 at 5th level).
  • You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
  • Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then.

Totem Spirit (Bear): While raging, you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage.

Rock Whisperer: Ludo can communicate with rocks and earth. He can cast the Speak with Animals spell at will, but it only works on earth-related creatures and rocks.


Actions

Multiattack: Ludo makes two Slam attacks.

Slam: Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Rock Call (Recharge 5-6): Ludo can summon rocks to his aid. He can create difficult terrain in a 20-foot radius centered on a point he can see within 60 feet. Creatures in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.


Equipment

  • Weapons: Greatclub (or any other melee weapon of choice)
  • Armor: None (Unarmored Defense)
  • Adventuring Gear: Explorer's Pack

Description
