Shivers once used to be a wild Screech Owl- a diminutive and fluffy hunter.
This changed when he crossed paths one day with an adventuring band which included a Druid, who Awakened the little bird in exchange for helping them find shelter in a storm. Unsure how to proceed with his new intelligence, Shivers studied the largest and fiercest of the strangers- a warrior holding a sword, clad in steel that stopped all of Shivers' claws. He was so impressed that the human was invulnerable, that he resolved to follow this path, and begged the warrior for some armour of his own. The warrior, amused, bent some spare plates into shape for the tiny owl, and adopted him as a friend. Over the years, Shivers' gear improved in quality, even being gifted a small magical dagger to use as a sword. When the warrior died in battle, Shivers became a mercenary in his own right, and went out into the world. Statistics: Shivers is a Neutral 4th-level Fighter, about 6 inches high (Tiny size). He wears an Owl-sized breastplate and shield, and wields a Tiny +1 shortsword (base damage 1d3+1), and has an Intelligence score of 13. He is very fierce, and seems to know no fear in choosing enemies, often picking fights with creatures that would make some humans quail. If he takes the time to remove his armour, he can also pass for a non-magical animal, which makes him an excellent scout. How you can use Shivers in your game: - If your player characters need a strong arm, they might have a friend at the mercenaries' guild recommend a tough guy named 'Shivers' to them. Finding out that Shivers is a six-inch high bird wearing a breastplate made out of an old shoulder pauldron, who enjoys chewing cigars, might be a surprise. - Player characters who have worked with Shivers before might have earned his trust, and he might ask them for assistance. If he can find out who killed his first human friend, he desperately wants vengeance upon them, and he can do with a few allies. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 30 April 2019.

I haven't written stats fully, but for 3.5 edition, he'd have about 25 hit points, an Armour Class around 23, and an attack modifier of +5 for 1d3 damage, including the penalty for his Strength score of 5, and Weapon Specialization.

No, go right ahead! All my stuff is made to be used- if I ever do luck out and see one of my characters at a game I'm playing, I'd be beyond thrilled! Comments are closed.
