- Baldric left his position as a prominent member of his family’s mercantile empire to seek his fortunes elsewhere. He’s a unique cleric who often confounds other clerics because he refuses to pledge his service or faith to a single deity. He prefers to bargain with any and all of them, depending on the situation, to receive his magic. This has lent him a cocky confidence that has landed him in his share of trouble. But now he’s with the Fallbacks, and over the course of their adventures, his faith in them has become unshakable.
Baldric is a Support and Healing Champion who helps his affiliation members and those with high Charisma. He heals Champions in the columns in front of him, and his specialization choices grant him diverse abilities from assorted deities.

You will pick from this specialization choice set twice.
