Description. Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons, stands tall and regal, exuding an air of authority and strength. She is clad in gleaming ceremonial armor adorned with the symbols of her people, and her unbreakable girdle is prominently displayed on her waist. Her Amazonian glaive is a work of artistry and lethality.

Hippolyta currently stands within the grand hall of the Amazonian palace on the mystical island of Themyscira. Her surroundings are adorned with relics and trophies from ages past, showcasing the might and history of her warrior nation. Her mood is one of serene determination as she leads her people in the defense of their sacred homeland.

As the Amazonian Queen, Hippolyta fears the intrusion of outsiders onto the peaceful shores of Themyscira and the potential corruption of her people’s way of life. She does what she does to protect her nation, maintain the sacred traditions of the Amazons, and achieve a harmonious existence where her people can thrive in peace and honor.

Hippolyta’s divine favor, bestowed by Ares himself, grants her the strength and resolve to lead her warriors with unwavering courage and conviction. Her legendary presence on the battlefield has earned her the respect of gods and mortals alike, making her a symbol of Amazonian strength and virtue.

Background: Noble – Queen. Due to her position as a ruler, Hippolyta is treated with a measure of respect wherever she goes. She is treated as royalty (or as closely as possible) by most peasants and traders, and as an equal when meeting other authority figures (who make time in their schedule to see her if requested to do so).

Action Surge (1/Short Rest). Once on her turn, Hippolyta can take an additional action on top of her regular action and a possible bonus action.

Colossus Slayer (1/Turn). When Hippolyta hits a creature with a weapon attack, the creature takes an extra 1d8 damage if it’s below its hit point maximum.

Favored Enemy: Beasts. Hippolyta has advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track beasts, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

Feat: Athletic. Hippolyta can stand up from being prone with only 5 feet of her movement, climbing doesn’t cost her extra movement, and she only has to move 5 feet before making a running long jump or running high jump.

Feat: Master of the Shield. While she has her shield, Hippolyta adds +2 to Dexterity saving throws against spells or other harmful effects that only target her and she can use a bonus action to use it to shove a creature within 5 feet when she takes the Attack action.

Feat: Mobility. Hippolyta can Dash through difficult terrain without requiring additional movement. Whenever she makes an attack against a creature, she doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks from that creature until the end of her turn.

Feat: Mounted Combat. When Hippolyta’s mount is attacked, she can make herself the target of that attack. In addition, she has advantage on melee attack rolls when her target is an unmounted creature smaller than her mount (usually any unmounted target of Medium size or smaller). Finally, when Hippolyta’s mount is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

Feat: Soldier Tactics. A creature hit by Hippolyta’s opportunity attack reduces its speed to 0 until the beginning of the next round and disengaging from Hippolyta still provokes opportunity attacks. In addition, Hippolyta can use her reaction to make a melee weapon attack against a creature within 5 feet when it makes an attack against a target other than Hippolyta.

Feat: Superb Aim. Hippolyta ignores half cover and three-quarters cover when making a ranged weapon attack, and she doesn’t have disadvantage when attacking at long range. When Hippolyta makes her first ranged weapon attack in a turn, she can choose to take a -5 penalty to her ranged weapon attack rolls in exchange for a +10 bonus to ranged weapon damage.

Indomitable (2/Long Rest). Hippolyta can reroll a saving throw that she fails but must use the new roll.

Natural Explorer: Forests. When Hippolyta makes an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to forests, her proficiency bonus (+6) is doubled if she is using History or Survival. While traveling for an hour or more in a forest, she gains the following benefits:

difficult terrain doesn’t slow her group’s travel, her group can’t become lost except by magical means, even when she engages in another activity while traveling she remains alert to danger, if she is traveling alone she can move stealthily at a normal pace, she finds twice as much food as she normally would when she forages, and while tracking other creatures she also learns their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

Primeval Awareness. Hippolyta can use her action and expend one ranger spell slot to focus her awareness on the region around her. For 1 minute per level of the spell slot she expends, Hippolyta can sense whether the following types of creatures are present within 1 mile of her (or within up to 6 miles if she is in a forest): aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. This feature doesn’t reveal the creatures’ location or number.

Remarkable Athlete. Hippolyta adds +3 to any Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution check she makes that doesn’t already use her proficiency bonus. In addition, when she makes a running long jump, the distance she can cover increases by 3 feet.

Second Wind (1/Short Rest). On her turn, Hippolyta can use a bonus action to regain 1d10+15 hit points.

Spellcasting. Hippolyta is a 4th level spellcaster that uses Wisdom as her spellcasting ability. She has the following spells prepared from the ranger’s spell list:

1st-level (3 slots): animal friendship, goodberry, hunter’s mark​

​Superior Critical. Hippolyta’s weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18–20.

ACTIONS

REACTIONS
Feat: Master of the Shield. Hippolyta can reflexively protect her body with her shield. When she is subjected to an effect that allows her to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, Hippolyta can use her reaction to take no damage if she succeeds on the saving throw.
