Pike Trickfoot
Pike grew up in the outskirts of town, near the Bramblewood. Her ancestors were a family of deep gnomes with quite an unfavorable reputation. Thievery, destruction, and trickery left them with the curse of the last name of Trickfoot.
Sarenrae, the goddess of healing and redemption, had other plans for Pike's great-great-grandfather Wilhand, who left his family at a young age after a dream—a dream that changed the course of the Trickfoot family. Wilhand devoted his life to Sarenrae, and pledged from then on that he and his family would live a life of service and devotion.
As a child, Pike seemed to have an affinity to heal. Whether it was animals, people, or even flowers, she felt she had a purpose in making things whole that had once been broken. She studied and learned the ways to heal through divine magic. She lived a peaceful life, quiet and simple, until one day, Wilhand was captured and almost killed by a group of goliath barbarians. One of the goliaths took a stand against the murder of the innocent gnome, and he himself was beaten, bloodied, and left for dead, abandoned by his herd.
Wilhand went to Pike for help. She prayed, and healed this barbarian as best she could, bringing him back to life. When he awoke, she discovered his name was Grog Strongjaw. After that, they were the best of friends, a rather unlikely pair. Little did she know that in a few years time, Grog would soon return the favor and bring her back from the clutches of death.
After being killed in battle, Pike felt angry. She wanted to be stronger, so that it would never happen again. She spent four months at sea, training with the men and women aboard a ship called The Broken Howl. Gripping her holy symbol in one hand, and her morningstar in the other, this time, Pike is ready.

Channel Divinity
Pike gains the ability to channel divine energy directly from Sarenrae, using that energy to fuel magical effects. When she uses her Channel Divinity, she chooses which effect to create. She must then finish a short or long rest to use her Channel Divinity again.
- Turn Undead: As an action, Pike presents her holy symbol and speaks a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear her within 30 feet of her must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from her as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of her. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
- Guiding Strike: Pike can use this ability to enhance her attack with a +10.
- War Gods Blessing: Pike can use this ability to help an ally with a +10 to attacks.
Destroy Undead
When an undead fails its saving throw against Pike's Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a CR 4.
Divine Intervention
Pike can call on her deity to intervene on her behalf when her need is great. Imploring Sarenrae's aid requires her to use her action. Describe the assistance she seeks, and roll percentile dice. If she rolls a number equal to or lower than her cleric level, Sarenrae intervenes. The GM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be appropriate. If her deity intervenes, she can’t use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, she can use it again after she finishes a long rest.
Divine Domain: War Domain

- Proficiencies: Proficient with martial weapons and heavy armor.

- Avatar of Battle: Pike gains resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons.
Plate of the Dawnmartyr

Once per day, when brought to 0 hit points, healing fire erupts from the armor, bringing the wearer back to 5 hit points. When this happens, creatures within 15 feet must make a DC 15 dexterity saving throw or take 6d6 fire damage.
Blessing of the Everlight
+2 CON, As a bonus action, you can summon the wings of the Everlight, granting you a flying speed of 40 feet for up to ten minutes.

Credits
- A big thank you to Kit Buss, @Tartan_Kiwi, and @stevethegoblin for giving me permission to use their art for this. They are amazingly talented and I am honored they let me.
- Also thank you to the Homebrewery for creating all the tools for being able to do this.
- And thank you to Crit Roll Stats because that is where I got all the information and you guys do amazing work.
- As a side note I would like to point out that CR 11 does seem low however it was determined using the rules in the DMG. Also IF you put all of Vox Machina together to determine an encounter CR with the whole group it is roughly a CR 26 encounter.
- Also note that this is not indicative of all Pikes spell casting abilities, these are just the spells we know she has used.
