Squires

Squire

You’ve been a knight-in-training for long enough! Is it time to strike out for your own fame and fortune? Maybe you’ve finally learned enough from your Knight to hunt down those who wronged you in the past. Whatever your reason to adventure, consult the table below to see what sort of Knight you’ve been training under (assumes 3d6 for STR, DEX, and CHA).

All squires have a shortsword (d6) and a round, wooden shield.
