Traits & Features

Personality

Violence is rarely the answer. [smites monster into next zip code] I'm glad we had that conversation.

Ideal

Everyone deserves to be heard. (This is a statement about people. Please do not read into it further.)

Bond

The neighborhood. I carry it with me wherever I go. It's always nearby, in a sense.

Flaw

I have been told I am difficult to get a straight answer from. I'm not sure what they mean by that.

Aura of Protection (Paladin 6)

Allies within 10 ft add +4 to all saving throws (CHA modifier) while Rogers is conscious. Nobody asked for this. It just happens.

Attacks & Actions

Name	Atk Bonus	Damage	Notes
The Shield Cymbal	+6	1d6+3 b.	Thrown 20/60. Also a drum cymbal. No one notices it leaving the kit.
Longsword	+6	1d8+3 s.	"I'd prefer not to."
Divine Smite	—	+2d8 rad.	Only after monologue. Crit: +4d8. Then: 'I'm glad we had that conversation.'
Lay on Hands	—	30 HP pool	Delivered via comforting hand on shoulder and sincere eye contact.
Bardic Inspiration	—	1d6	A kind word. Somehow it works. Recharges on long rest.

⚡ The Cardigan of Ambiguity

Whenever someone asks an impertinent question about Rogers's identity — roll a d20.

🚃 Call the Trolley (1/Session)

The trolley appears. Everyone accepts this as normal. Nobody can explain where the tracks came from. Its power changes every time.

Resets on long rest or DM whim.

👟 The Shoes & Session Gags

The Shoes

Every time the party enters a new location, Rogers changes shoes. Never explain why.

The Trolley Bell

Whenever something dramatic happens: ding ding. Nobody knows where the sound came from.

Bush's Leadership

GWB: "I have a plan." Rogers: "I believe everyone deserves to be heard." Party: "THAT IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT." Rogers: "Nor is it a criticism."

Equipment

The Shield Cymbal: Shield (+2 AC) and cymbal simultaneously. Nobody ever sees it leave the drum kit.

The Cardigan of Ambiguity: Wondrous Item. Requires attunement (automatic). Cannot be removed willingly.

Chain Mail: +6 AC. Very shiny. Possibly anachronistic. Nobody mentions it.

Longsword: Rarely drawn. "I'd prefer not to."

A spare pair of shoes: ×7. Appears from nowhere. Different pair each location.

Holy Symbol: Unclear whose. Equally valid for both possible identities.

Thieves' Tools: Present in the bag. Unexplained. He does not acknowledge them.

Background & History

Origin

I come from a good neighborhood. Everyone there knew each other's names. I think about it often. Where it was, exactly, is harder to say.

Before the Campaign

I was doing something important. Something involving service, I believe. The details are a little hazy but the feeling is very clear.

Why I Adventure

I think everyone deserves someone in their corner. This seemed like the right corner to be in.

Proficiencies

All armor, shields, martial weapons, drums, percussion, light jazz, and the art of the non-answer.

Languages

Common, the Language of the Heart (Homebrew — counts as Persuasion advantage with children and animals), and an unsettling amount of vocabulary that nobody can quite place.
