Jkol Uten
lunging cleaver-berserker of the green horde
Jkol Uten — The Encounter
lunging cleaver-berserker of the green horde · a boss your table can run with almost no prep. SRD 5.1-compatible.
Who Is Jkol Uten
Jkol Uten is the orc the Ugok Warlords loose first, the one who closes the gap while the rest are still bellowing insults. He fights with a single oversized cleaver and no patience, hurling himself into the thickest cluster of enemies and trusting the warband to follow before he is surrounded. Among the green horde his recklessness is a virtue: he draws the first volley and the first blows so the heavier warriors can wade in clean. Rivals call him a fool who has not yet died. His clansmen call him the breach, and they are rarely far behind when he hits the line.
Run Jkol Uten in Sixty Seconds
- He goes first then use Aggressive to close and reckless to swing with advantage.
- He wants the back line then point him at the party's caster or healer and let the warband follow.
- Reckless cuts both ways then attacks against him also have advantage, so expect him to die loud.
- When bloodied then he doubles down, never retreats, and the rest of the horde pours through his breach.

How It Fights — by Tier
Same creature, scaled threat. The traits never change; only the numbers move.
Send him in first to break the party's formation, then bring the rest of the warband through the gap he opens. Lean on Aggressive to close distance fast.
Lunge into the squishiest target and attack recklessly for advantage. He is meant to soak attention while other Ugok Warlords flank; do not run him solo.
Fight as the tip of the pack: reckless every round, dive at casters, and let the warband collapse on whoever he pins. He trades his own safety for theirs.

How a bound creature acts
- A companion acts on its owner's initiative, immediately after the owner.
- It uses the Companion block above — roughly ×0.6 HP and damage, no recharge abilities, and at most one reaction trait.
- It moves freely; it takes its Action only while its owner is conscious.
- At 0 HP a companion is broken, not dead — restored on a long rest unless your table rules otherwise.

Questions, Asked at the Table
What CR is Jkol Uten?
His native rank is Tier 2, CR 6 (2,300 XP). The tier table also gives CR 2 and an up-scaled CR 9 build for tougher tables.
How does Jkol Uten fight alongside the rest of the Ugok Warlords?
He is the opener. He lunges in first to break enemy formation and draw fire, letting the heavier orcs and shieldbearers arrive into a fight that is already chaotic. He is rank-and-file, not a boss.
Why is his AC so low for his HP?
He fights recklessly and lightly armored, so he is built to be hit. His threat is offense and tempo, not durability; soak him with a tank and he folds.
