Huzzah!

Fifth level! Which, granted for a fighter doesn't get much: +8 hit points, +1 to all proficiencies, and extra attack. The barbarian also gets extra attack, along with fast movement. No doubt there is a play balance reason why it works that way. It does mean Orilo can start combats with an attack for an average of 10 HP, a second attack for the same average, a thump with the haft of his magic Guandao for an average of 7 HP, and then an action surge for 10 more HP, a total of 37. Unless he decides to burn all of his superiority dice, in which case add 18 points.

Also, Orilo joined the Magic Weapon club, with a +1/+1 Spatterspike guandao that does automatic crits on non-sentient. inanimate targets. Note that neither armour being worn nor weapons in the hands of others qualify.

That will come handy when facing the infamous gazebo!

And replicating scenes in The Lost Bladesman where Guan Yu annihilates his surroundings.

I was thinking "smashing not-yet-animated-but-suspicious-looking statues".

Ah, like the ward posts we had to get by in the last session.

It's a practical test for sentience!
