PC: Lloyd Avertin

Lloyd Avertin was born in Magnimar to old sheriff Casp Avertin and his elven wife. Casp Avertin was a city watch officer in Magnimar but transferred to Sandpoint after his wife died. Life was normal for Lloyd while he was growing up in town. During his childhood, his close friends include that of Jarek Turronben (who's the son of one of border patrol who lives outside of Sandpoint and works for Sheriff Avertin) and Gryffin Dayereth (who lives in the houses just beside the garrison). Back then, he would either be found studying with his father, at the beach by the old lighthouse or in the woods.

Lloyd studied and worked for his father up until the latter was killed five years ago. Now as 24, he serves as Sheriff Belor Hemlock's second in command and takes his duty quite seriously.

Class Features

Combat Challenge: In combat, it’s dangerous to ignore a fighter. Every time you attack an enemy, whether the attack hits or misses, you can choose to mark that target. The mark lasts until the end of your next turn. While a target is marked, it takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls for any attack that doesn’t include you as a target. A creature can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a mark that was already in place.
In addition, whenever a marked enemy that is adjacent to you shifts or makes an attack that does not include you, you can make a melee basic attack against that enemy as an immediate interrupt.

Combat Superiority: You gain a bonus to opportunity attacks equal to your Wisdom modifier. An enemy struck by your opportunity attack stops moving, if a move provoked the attack. If it still has actions remaining, it can use them to resume moving.

Hunter’s Quarry: Once per turn as a minor action, you can designate the enemy nearest to you as your quarry.
Once per encounter, you deal +1d6 extra damage to your quarry. The extra damage is based on your level. If you can make multiple attacks in a round, you decide
which attack to apply the extra damage to after all the attacks are rolled.
The hunter’s quarry effect remains active until the end of the encounter, until the quarry is defeated, or until you designate a different target as your quarry.
You can designate one enemy as your quarry at a time.

Tempest Technique: When you wield two melee weapons, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls with weapons that have the offhand property.

You gain Two-Weapon Defense as a bonus feat, even if you don’t meet the prerequisites.

When wearing light armor or chainmail, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with melee and close weapon attacks when you are wielding two weapons. This bonus increases to +2 with weapons that have the off-hand property.
