# Rick Garnett *Human Barbarian (Level 2) | Kieth Gaddis ## Quick Stats **AC:** 16 | **HP:** 27 | **Speed:** 30 ft **Initiative:** +2 | **Passive Perception:** 14 | **Spell Save DC:** N/A ## Character Summary A disciplined [[Lords' Alliance]] agent who combines military training with primal combat instincts. Rick's soldier background makes him a natural leader in crisis situations, though his direct approach sometimes clashes with more subtle party members (like when he tried to instruct a gnome militiaman on proper watch procedures). His barbarian rage provides devastating combat effectiveness when needed, but his lawful good alignment keeps him grounded in doing what's right. A former soldier and city watch member who was dismissed for being "over aggressive" and having problematic public interactions, he found new purpose with the [[Lords' Alliance]] as an opportunity to prove himself through proper service and authority. %% ## Family, Friends, and Foes ### Allies - [[Lords' Alliance]] - Agent/member - Fellow party members from the crisis response ### Personality Traits & Flaws - **Personality:** "I face problems head on.
