Sir Fitzroy Maplecourt

"That's crepes, baby!"

"If you touch my cloaks, I'll use my magic to explode your head."

Sir Fitzroy Maplecourt, Knight (in absentia) of the realm of Goodcastle, is a player character controlled by Griffin McElroy as part of the Graduation campaign.

Background
According to his mother, Dendra Maplecourt, Fitzroy had a fairly normal childhood and initially didn't show any signs of magical ability. When his wild magic unexpectedly manifested, Fitzroy was expelled from Clyde Nite's Night Knight School because he accidentally catfished his headmaster—by which he means he turned her into a catfish. During his time at Clyde Nite's, Fitzroy didn't fit in with the other students (who came from substantially wealthier backgrounds than he did), and that led to him developing a façade of royal haughtiness that stayed with him even after his expulsion. An anonymous benefactor paid his tuition to Hieronymous Wiggenstaff's School for Heroism and Villainy, but until episode six, his college credits did not carry over to HWSFHaV, which was a source of great distress for him.

Fitzroy believes that he is a knight in absentia of the realm of Goodcastle, and that upon completing his training at Clyde Nite's, he will make his way there to serve in the Queen's guard. He has received a letter from them which would him his knighthood - so long as he sent them a customary filing fee of 200 gold pieces (and a few more "customary payments" after that, of course.)

In episode six, Fitzroy was allowed to transfer to the hero and villains track at Wiggenstaff's, should he be willing to play the "villain's" role; he (reluctantly) accepted. Fitzroy is the first student in the school's history to switch from one track to another.

Master Firbolg
Firbolg is Fitzroy's room mate and classmate, later becoming his sidekick. The Firbolg is one of Fitzroy's closest friends within the academy, and Fitzroy has expressed that he trusts Firbolg with his life. Firbolg has reciprocated this, and relies on Fitzroy to keep him safe while a mysterious enchantment is controlling his mind, and allows Fitzroy to charm him, showing his trust towards Fitzroy as a member of his clan.

Argonaut Keene
Argo is Fitzroy's roommate and classmate, later becoming his sidekick. While at first Fitzroy and Argo had a very close friendship, upon Argo's initiation into the Unbroken Chain, Fitzroy became suspicious of the rogue. Argo deeply cares for his friend, refusing to observe him for the Unbroken Chain if they meant him harm. However, their relationship remains strenuous, and Fitzroy does not tell Argo about the enchantments on the students of the school.

Barbarian

 * Rage: In battle, Fitzroy fights with primal ferocity. On his turn, he can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, he gains the following benefits if he isn't wearing heavy armor:
 * He has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
 * When he makes a melee weapon attack using Strength, he gains a bonus to the damage roll that increases as he gains levels as a barbarian.
 * He has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
 * He can’t cast spells or concentrate on them while raging. His rage lasts for 1 minute and ends early if he is knocked unconscious or if his turn ends and he hasn't attacked a hostile creature since his last turn or taken damage since then. He can also end his rage on his turn as a bonus action. Once he has raged a set number of times, he must finish a long rest before he can rage again.
 * Unarmored Defense: While Fitzroy is not wearing any armor, his Armor Class equals 10 + his Dexterity modifier + his Constitution modifier. He can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
 * Reckless Attack: Fitzroy can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When he makes his first attack on his turn, he can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives him advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against him have advantage until his next turn.
 * Danger Sense: Fitzroy gains an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren’t as they should be, giving him an edge when he dodges away from danger. He has advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that he can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, he can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.


 * Primal Path: Path of the Wild Soul
 * Lingering Magic: Fitzroy's body reacts to the presence of magic. He can cast the detect magic spell without using a spell slot or components. He faintly glows a colour corresponding to the school of magic he detects (the player chooses the colors).
 * Wild Surge: Magic erupts from Fitzroy as he rages. When he enters his rage, he rolls on the Wild Surge table listed below to determine the magical effect produced.

Sorcerer

 * Wild Magic Surge - Sir Fitzroy's spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Immediately after casting a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, Travis can have Griffin roll a d20.  If he gets a 1, he rolls a d100 on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect.
 * Tides of Chaos - Sir Fitzroy can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. This cannot be done again until after a long rest.  Any time before he regains the use of this feature, Travis can have Griffin roll on the Wild Magic Surge table immediately after he casts a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher. He then regains the use of this feature.
 * Font of Magic - Sir Fitzroy can tap into a deep wellspring of magic within himself. This wellspring is represented by sorcery points, which allow him to create a variety of magical effects. As a Level 2 sorcerer, Sir Fitzroy has 2 sorcery points, and regains all spent sorcery points when he finishes a long rest. He can use sorcery points to gain additional Spell Slots, or sacrifice Spell Slots to gain additional sorcery points. He can also use sorcery points for Metamagic, described below:
 * Metamagic - Sir Fitzroy can twist his spells to suit his needs, using the following options:
 * Heightened Spell - When he casts a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, he can spend 3 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.
 * Twinned Spell - When he casts a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, he can spend a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell (1 sorcery point if the spell is a cantrip).

Feats
 * Magic Initiate (Sorcerer) - Sir Fitzroy knows two cantrips and one 1st level spell from the Sorcerer spell list. From this feat Sir Fitzroy uses Charisma as the modifier for his spellcasting. Thus Sir Fitzroy's Spell Attack Modifier is +4 with a Spellcasting DC of 12.
