Eldritch
|
From a very young age, those who show both martial and arcane promise are cloistered away by powerful organizations and trained in secret to become living weapons, able to wield a blade in one hand and a spell in the other. The Eldritch is able to manipulate magical forces through the power of a Soulblade; a Mystical weapon formed from the essence of their own spirit.
Who trained you? What do you owe them in return? What is your Soulblade like?

Key Ability

While equipped with your Soulblade, you gain a +(Power) bonus to Combat rolls against creatures you have Advantage on.
You are able to cast spells using The Mystery. Select one Rote now and learn another at Levels 5, 10, 15, and 20.
