Enigma (5e Class)

Enigma

Enigma, as their class name suggests, are mysterious creatures of power and difficult to understand. The first Enigmas were created to rival the Celestial and Fiends by a humanoid race long forgotten. There are only 10,000 Enigma in existence and every Enigma knows one another by name. Their creators gave every Enigma the ability to speak Celestial, Abyssal, and Infernal. Inside every Enigma, a crystal of tremendous energy exists where the heart of a normal humanoid would be. Crystal color vary from Enigma to Enigma. Externally, every Enigma looks like the epitome of humanoid physiology with a few major differences. Enigma possess on their back artificial, mechanical wings that are highlighted the same color as their crystal. The Enigmas wings are created from a shard of their internal crystal and can be can be created or destroyed at will. When using their abilities their eyes and veins also glow the color of their crystal. This gives the obvious impression that they are indeed artificial beings. Every Enigma possess a unique type of weapon. This weapon is created from a shard of their internal crystal and the weapon can be created and destroyed at will. If an Enigma is slain their bodies return to the crystal which then houses the Enigma until it is able to recreate its form. The crystal Plane Shifts to a random location and/or plane of existence. An Enigma can remain in its crystal for 1 minute or 10,000 years depending on the level of damage sustained. This crystal is a source of immense energy. So much that crystals with Enigma within or Amor Stones can be used to power entire cities. A humanoid with no magical talent possessing an Amor Stone gain unimaginable magical abilities. New adventuring Enigma have just resurrected from their crystals to seek meaning to their lives of almost unlimited power and potential.
