In addition to his incredible strenght, boston is incredibly agile and a skilled marksman, skilled in both ranged and melee combat, typically duel wielding a variety of weapons, notably hand crossbows, handaxes, and swords.
Special abilities
In his training Boston mastered various maneuvers which allow him to exploit his enemy’s weaknesses and better defend himself.
Boston gained limited spellcasting from studying his wife's notes, mostly making use of Eldritch Blast and Green Flame Blade offensively. Thanks to this dark blessing, Boston gains temporary vitality after slaying a foe, thanks to his Dark One’s Blessing, and Armour of Agathys to aid his survivability. Although he barely needs magic to bolster his vitality, as years growing up in the harsh conditions of Icewind Dale have prepared him to remain standing in the face of attacks that would kill lesser men.

Boston wears scale armor over a blue tunic and pants, with a blue cape from his mercenary days.
He holds various items, like his axes, in his accessory belt.
Specialized Equipment
The Clockwork Amulet can be used once a day to guarantee a single hit against an enemy, although it is unlikely to be a killing blow.
When Boston wears his wedding ring, he is seemingly overcome by grief and becomes “Evil Boston," capable of more barbaric fighting techniques. Whilst in this state, he can enter a rage, which makes his attacks more accurate, at the cost of leaving himself open, and resist some damage. When the ring worn, Boston also regains some of his health.
