| Jan Mayen, Hero of Wintergate |
“What makes someone a hero?”
Jan earns his living by traveling from village to village and vanquishing strange supernatural beasts. At least that’s what he tricks his clients into thinking. Actually, Jan is a con artist who cleverly stages the ghostly attacks and then get paid to make them go away.

Slow: If Jan hits a creature with this weapon and deal damage to it, he can reduce its Speed by 10 feet until the start of Jan’s next turn. If the creature is hit more than once by weapons that have this property, the Speed reduction doesn’t exceed 10 feet.
Shortbow. Ranged Attack Roll: +5, range 80/320 feet. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) Piercing damage. Vex: If Jan hits a creature with this weapon and deals damage to the creature, Jan has Advantage on his next attack roll against that creature before the end of Jan’s next turn.
Spellcasting. Jan casts one of the following spells, using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). Jan can perform the Somatic components of spells even when he has weapons or a Shield in one or both hands. Jan can use a Musical Instrument, Simple or Martial weapon as a Spellcasting Focus.
