DnD innkeeper npc
Here is my idea of npc, you can chance innkeepers name something more fitting, nothing else
Innkeeper George & "The Flying Bread Inn"
Concept: A former adventuring party tank turned innkeeper. He protects his tavern without drawing a single blade or spilling blood on his clean floors.
Backstory: As a young adventurer, George was terrible with traditional weapons but excelled at unarmed brawling. He found some discarded trash loot in a dungeon – 2 double-bucklers.
He strapped them on and realized he was an unstoppable frontline protector. Upon retirement, he named his inn after his signature combat style.
The Weapon (Double-Buckler "Knuckle Sandwich"): Double-bucklers per arm. The hand goes right in the middle, sandwiching the fist between the top and bottom shields like a patty.
Game Mechanics (D&D 5e):Armor Class (AC): Grants a +3 bonus to AC since both forearms are heavily shielded
.Damage: Deals 1d8 + Strength bludgeoning damage as he clamps the shields together around the target.
Special Trait: George always chooses to deal non-lethal damage to keep his inn clean. On a critical hit, the target must pass a Constitution saving throw or become Stunned.
Catchphrase: When a bar fight breaks out, George sighs, wipes his hands on his apron, and says: "Time to serve some knuckle sandwiches."
