 TACTICS

Before Combat: If Drace has a chance to set up, she’ll activate Judge’s Might immediately before combat begins.
During Combat: Drace immediately uses Judgment when combat begins, boosting whichever abilities she feels she’s lacking against her foes, and then activates Judge’s Might as soon as possible afterwards. If she has to move during a round or is otherwise limited to a single attack, she combines her weapons together, but otherwise she keeps them separate during combat. She has a small stock of powerful potions in case she needs to heal herself or her allies.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

A Knight’s Blessing (Su)

3/day while under 50% HP, as a swift action Judge Drace may protect not only herself but her allies as well. For 3 rounds, Judge Drace and any allies within 30 feet gain the effects of Protect III, Shell III, and Regen III.

GEAR

Drace’s unnamed warhammer and Death Trap have a special weapon modification, “judge weapon”, which allows them to be combined into a dire flail or split apart again as a free action. Magical enhancements from each of the individual weapons carry over to the ends of the dire flail, and proficiency with the modified weapon versions of its parts makes her proficient with the dire flail.
