A small humanoid-shaped creature thickly garbed in rubbery leaves holds a buckler and grips a thornlike longsword. Its skin is dark green, and its hair is brown.
The warriors of the fey realms, thorns are fanatical defenders. Often, a grig, nixie, or pixie will find that its whimsical or mischievous nature gets it into trouble beyond its ability to manage. Sometimes, a thorn will be around to help such a creature out. These warriors also act as guards or guardians for prestigious fey or important fey sites. For instance, if a dryad ever undertakes a mission important enough to cause her to leave her tree for a time, she endeavors to enlist a thorn to guard it.
Thorns get their name from the unusual longswords they carry, which are made of thorns from carefully cultivated, enormous rose bushes in the faerie courts. Their armor is made from thick, rubbery leaves and gives them protection equivalent to leather. A thorn stands about 3 feet tall and is very slender, weighing only 25 pounds. Its skin can be any shade of green. Its hair is usually bark-brown, but a few have berry-red tresses.
Create the character as a Lightfoot Halfling.
