Magnus Sterlingheart

Overview
A cleric of Bredal and member of the Order of St Hylas, Magnus is an aging, but powerful, warrior who refuses to retire comfortably while he can still serve his lord and lady. He is determined even in the most terrible odds, boisterous on the battlefield, but offers words of quiet comfort to the panicked and wounded. He has no time for bullshit or quitter's talk, and has a reputation for being headstrong.

He wears a set of battered steel plate, a decorated helm, and a red cape. The blade he wears on his hip is strictly ornamental, and he fights with a hollow rod containing some of the ashes of St Hylas himself, wielding it as a divine focus for his spells.

Order of St. Hylas
The second-in-command of the 15th Ecclesiastic of the Order of St. Hylas, Magnus commands the respect of his men with his intense faith, deep courage, and impressive magical skill.

Combat Tactics

Between battles, Prayer of Healing restores his group as best he can manage, and during major fights, the combination of Spirit Guardians as a concentration spell, Spiritual Weapon for bonus-action damage, and Fireball, Inflict Wounds, or Burning Hands ''for regular actions. If attacking a singular enemy instead of several, he may choose to use Faerie Fire instead, to allow his allies to focus their foes. He carries no weapons, though he will use the ornate reliquary staff he carries as an absolute last resort.
