Reactions:

  • Parry. The depressed mul gladiator adds 5 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the depressed mul gladiator must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

The depressed mul gladiator is a shadow of their former self. They have lost their drive and passion for combat, and now fight only because they have no other choice.
