Description

[edit | edit source]

Appearance

[edit | edit source]

General Reynard is 6' 8" with a powerful build. He has wavy brown hair, and dark brown eyes. He appears in his mid-30s, thanks to a unique homunculus. (See below: Minions)

Personality

[edit | edit source]

Reynard is brutally evil and a rigid disciplinarian who constantly drills his army. He strikes fear into the hearts of most people he meets and is known for his infamous fixing stare.

Abilities

[edit | edit source]

General Reynard is one of the greatest tacticians in all the Oerth.

Possessions

[edit | edit source]

The General has a comprehensive collection of tomes on military history and strategy, including rare historical accounts of the Oeridian, Suloise and Baklunish civilizations.

In terms of war gear, the general has a vorpal bastard sword with a bone handle, which has the sharpness quality, and has the power to detect nearby enemies. Reynard also has black-lacquered plate mail that gives him a +4 AC bonus against all missiles and allows a save against an arrow of slaying. It also grants free action and grants a +4 on saving throws against illusions and phantasms.

Relationships

[edit | edit source]

Reynard disliked Chelor because Chelor stopped him for overexerting himself in the Greyhawk Wars, but he is grateful to Chelor for one thing: Chelor stopped him from attending the Overking, and thus spared him from being turned into an undead.

Reynard looks much more favorably on Graf Reydrich, since Reydrich promised him a war against Onnwal or Idee within two years.

Allies and Minions

[edit | edit source]

Reynard has a homunculus, which was created for him by Reydrich, the former archmage to Herzog Chelor.[1] It was created with fiendish aid, which is not normally a requirement for creation of a homunculus. If the diminutive beast is allowed to consume the life force of a sentient adult humanoid creature [note 1] once annually, Reynard does not age. For this reason, many think Reynard a vampire or demon himself.[1]

Notes

  1. The original text uses the outdated term "demihuman", defined in the second edition Player's Handbook (pp.11,20) as the non-human PC races—elves, dwarves, gnomes, and halflings.
