Dylan

Stub-class article

Dylan is the player whose character is Hugo, the dual-axe-wielding Path of Bloodfury barbarian who has been at the table the entire recorded run (s2-current). He is the recap-volunteer most often (Nick’s die roll picks the recap-doer, but Dylan tends to step in when the roll falls awkwardly) and the table’s most frequent on-the-fly mechanics-explainer.

Characters played

  • Hugo (s2-current): barbarian, dual hand-axes plus longsword, gauntlets, Topple weapon mastery, Path of Bloodfury subclass (homebrew: Dylan’s idea, built by Nick, [1][2][3]; the void explosion was “the retune to it”, [4], and from s13 his stacks work on melee attacks only, [5][6]). Project Veilbreak survivor with the in-fiction given name Corvin revealed by The Black Mask in s4. Signed a devil pact with the Black Mask for the Onyx Ring of Barbed Hooks. Late once for roadworks (s14) and again for session 23, when Hugo slept through the first fight until his player arrived [7][8], and absent for session 20; otherwise present every session.

At the table

Dylan’s Hugo voice is blunt, strategic, and curse-heavy, with an ex-soldier cadence and a strong line in tactical pragmatism. Recurring tells include “reckless attack and throw some hand axes” [9] as a default action plan, “I am too angry to make a medicine check on him.” [10] and “I’m not the healer.” [11]; the DM’s “Hugo the pack mule.” [12] sums up his role as the party’s porter.

Out-of-character, Dylan is the table’s most reliable mechanics-explainer (“16 years of playing D&D, I know how to make a moral compass of a character”, [13]) and the player most likely to volunteer a recap. His strategic register comes through as much in planning conversations (“My personal thing would be in the right-hand method”, [14]) as in combat.
