Return to the Shady Dragon Inn (Boris Bonesnapper)

Salutations ye salty dogs, today we have a sailor for you by the name of Boris Bonesnapper. Let’s have a look, shall we?

I’ll preface this one by saying that, in building Boris, I’ve come to a revelation: Barbarian and the Sailor background are PERFECT for one another. Game mechanics aside, wearing armor aboard a ship, at least anything over light, is a recipe for disaster. Unarmored defense plays into this concept flawlessly, and as a Sailor myself, we are pretty damn barbaric. Boris Bonesnapper is a super-legit dwarf name, so he’s now a mountain dwarf barbarian sailor-man (possibly pirate?).
