Challenge Rating: 6th level Ranger (Monster Slayer)

  • Goblin Slayer. Elmo does +5 damage to goblinoids, and +10 damage vs goblins specifically (Elmo hates goblins).
  • Fighting Style - Defensive. As long as Elmo wears armour, he gets +1 bonus to AC (included). You may also “tank” for your allies.
  • Barkskin. Elmo has a minimum AC of 16. This does not stack with armor but does stack with shields or magic protection.
  • Tree! Elmo gains nourishment from the sun and earth. He can eat and drink but does not need to if he spends at least 1 hour in the sun and attached to the earth each day.
  • Regeneration (Mutation). Elmo regains 5 hit points at the start of his turn. If he takes acid or fire damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of his next turn. Elmo dies only if he starts his turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.

Actions

  • +8/Goblin Slayer 1d8+5 slashing damage + 1d8 to an adjacent target.
  • +6/dagger 1d4+4 piercing damage
  • Hunter’s Sense (3/day). As an action, Elmo can study a creature and know it's resistances, vulnerabilities and immunities.
Bonus Action
  • Slayer’s Prey (1/day). Designate a target as your prey, you deal an extra 1d6 damage to the target for the rest of the encounter.

Elmo the ranger and a member of the Hommlet Badgers, is faithfully loyal to Augusta (thanks to the deck of many things). After being killed in battle, he was brought back with a seed of life which resurrected him but turned him into a plant.
