Beleg

Back to Death Comes to the Vale main page.

Concept
Beleg the Hunter is a Vengeful Seeker of the Woodsinger Elves.

I know we don't often get to fight starting at much range, but I really like the concept of a ranged weapon based Controller.

A Vengeful Seeker is a secondary Striker, & has mostly single target attacks, w/some "splash" damage/effects.

He won't have the multi-targeting or same Condition abilities as Invoker Khael, but he can put a lot of attack penalties on enemies, & make them grant Combat Advantage (harder to hit us & easier to hit them seems like good Conditions!), & can target things out to ranges we may NEVER see! Normal range is 20, long range is 40, & only his Swarming Bats is limited (Burst 2 w/in 10, Sustain Minor, & I can move the Zone 4 as a Move Action, but at least 1 square of the Zone must stay w/in range).

I rolled very similarly to Molok; 2 points less in abilities, but 1 point more in ability mods, & a bit more focused (+4 in my 2 main stats, & +1 in everything else, instead of mostly +2s, & a +3) High 'low' abilities (dump stats), & not much of a spread, again. Molok had only one even ability score; Beleg has only one ODD score (so CON will get bumped next level, along w/WIS, his primary).

He's named after Tolkien's Beleg Cúthalion (Strongbow). Cut from wiki:

He "followed no man", and "could not be restrained"

He describes himself with the following verse: I am the hunter Beleg - of the hidden people; the forest is my father - and the fells my home.

Some Tolkien geeks theorize that references to the forest being his father means he is one of the original "awakened" Elves.

He was a member of the party in the legendary hunt of the great wolf Carcharoth.

He is said to be unequalled in the woodland skills of stalking, hunting, and tracking.

He is master of the bow, axe, sword and spear, having considerable magical skills with weapons.

His bow, Belthronding, is made of black Yew, strung with bear sinew and can only be drawn by Beleg's might and magic; an arrow called Dailir can always be found unsought.

He wields the sentient, magic sword, Anglachel and hones it with a song of sharpening.

He is stated to be a master of healing.

Much is said of him, his character and his individual heroic feats and deeds in the various versions of the tales of Túrin, and the Lays of Beleriand in particular.

History
Growing up in the Harken Forest, Beleg learned quickly to be a great hunter & tracker.

The Woodsinger Elves keep to themselves, but are aware of what goes on around them.

As part of their debt to the group, Beleg has joined them, to do what he can to help.

He is also young (for an Elf), & wants to see more of the world.

Personality
Beleg is fairly light-hearted & friendly, except when it's business time!

He takes his business of defending nature & the helpless very seriously.
