#half-plate

Quarion Nailo is a high level half-elf warlock. He is a pact of the blade/ hexblade archetype with the sentient weapon Blackrazor as his patron. He wears a bright white duster that has the ability to change its look and style at will.

Quarion is/ was a noble in the elven city of Silverymoon. His mother (an elven noble) loved his father (an eccentric human wizard who’s no longer around) very much, and as such, deeply cares for Quarion. They have a warm and loving relationship. His grandfather (head of the noble house) doesn’t particularly care for him.

Quarion is a man of the people, and is especially kind to all the servants/ workers that serve at house Nailo. He finds that he can often gain the trust and appreciation of people by complementing them early and often. He’s a bit of a schmooze and will flirt with anyone regardless of race, gender, preferences.

He’s not always the most honest, but he cares for the well being of his party members dearly, and has become close friends with those both current and lost.

He is absolutely proud of himself, and also very proud of his fellow party members, he actually has a feat that allows him to give a speech of sorts after every rest that gives the party temp hp. The speech is essentially always talking about how badass Quarion and the entire group is. He boasts about what they have done and what they’re going to do.

He certainly lies sometimes and he uses his guile and charm to get away with it. An example might be that he actually despises some person but will complement them/ brown nose a bit to get his way. He’s also more than willing to lie to town guards to help his sometimes less than lawful good friends to escape situation. He’s the type that would put on a facade of importance in a foreign city, as in pretending to be a noble of that city where he actually has zero ties, in order to harbor influence.

Why does Half-plate have a higher Dex check penalty than a full suit of plate armor?
