Blood, sweat, and roaring crowds: you lived for the arena, where life was measured in cheers and scars. Whether you fought for gold, survival, or the thrill of it, you learned how to perform as well as kill. To the world, you were a spectacle. To yourself… maybe something more.
Were you a slave turned champion, or a volunteer seeking fame? Did you love the fight or loathe the cage? Who still wears your name as a chant – or a curse?
- Equipment. Costume, a set of common clothes, a past trophy, an inexpensive but unusual weapon, such as a trident, brass knuckles or net (one of your choice).
- Tools & Languages. One Gaming Set of your choice
- Backround Knowledge. You have advantage on ability checks related to arenas, fighting duels, dirty tricks during battle, and pleasing a large crowd.
- Arena Instinct. Years of deadly showdowns have honed your reflexes. Once per battle, when a creature misses you with an opportunity attack, or you move out of the creature’s range while bypassing the opportunity attack (with Disengage, or a class or race feature), you can make a single melee attack with advantage against your attacker.
