Appearance:

Tassia is a dark-skinned, dark-haired woman who stands just over seven feet tall, and weighs about 440 lbs. She owns it well.

Interaction:

Tassia can often be seen training or fighting alongside one or more of the male members of the Neverwinter Guard. She will usually speak in a matter-of-fact manner and refuse to take shit from anyone. Although she is generally very direct, her speech &pt; tends to be slightly more formal.

Background:

Born with a bad leg, Tassia was never accepted by the other giants in her clan. After her leg was crushed by an exceptionally strong stone giant, she turned to the Neverwinter Guard for help. Joining the Neverwinter Guard, she has found her load-bearing leg to be very welcome amongst the other giants of the Guard, who view her as one of their own. Although her personal story is surprisingly lacking, she has risen through the ranks quickly due to her strength, ability to deal with pain, and surprising ability to lead.

Combat / Skills:

Tassia will engage in combat only when she is confident that her allies can handle themselves. If her allies are in danger, however, she will rush to their aid at the slightest opportunity. She generally chooses to engage opponents directly, and will use her heavy weaponry to crush enemies in single blows. If a larger foe is present, she will attempt to attack it from a distance, leaving her allies to focus on the archers or spellcasters.

Equipment:

Tassia carries into battle a +2 greatclub and a +2 spiked shield. She wears a mithral chain shirt and an amulet of natural armor +2. She carries a ring of protection +2, bracers of resistance +2, a cloak of displacement, a wand of magic missile, and a potion of growth.
