**Martial Advantage.** Once per turn, Redbraid can deal an extra 7 (2d6) damage to a creature he hits with a weapon attack if that creature is within 5 feet of an ally of Redbraid that isn't incapacitated. **Battle Weariness.** Redbraid has disadvantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened, reflecting his age and weariness, but he gains advantage on attack rolls against creatures that are higher level or larger than him, challenging him to an honorable battle.

Actions

- Multiattack.** Redbraid makes two attacks with his Greataxe.
**Greataxe.** Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d12 + 3) slashing damage.

Reactions

- Worn Defense.** Redbraid can use his reaction to add 2 to his AC against one melee attack that would hit him. To do so, he must see the attacker and be wielding a weapon.

Roleplaying Notes

Redbraid speaks in a rough, gravelly voice, tinged with the weariness of age. He is blunt and direct, with little patience for pleasantries. He prefers action to words, and his movements are deliberate and efficient. He often clenches his fists or grips his weapon, a sign of his pent-up desire for combat.
