Persona User
Sorcerous Origin
I am thou, Thou art I. A Persona is a manifestation of one's darker self that they have accepted, revealed or been awakened to. They typically take the form of mythological or historical figures, but they may also take the form of fictional characters. While most personas are human, some are animals, and theoretically one could even have an inanimate object as a persona. A persona may go rogue if it is denied or hidden by the user.
Persona Template
Personas will be created on demand. Here is the template, you can create it for yourself or you can tell me it's identity and I'll create it for you. Submit them on the talk page before adding it to the actual page plz.
1st level,
Resistance to 1-3 damage types, vulnerability to one less than the number of resistances. If you have resistance to a damage type from one of the following sets, you must have vulnerability to one from that set or one with a lower number as well. This applies to the lowest-set resistance. The resistances and weakness should fit with your persona.
Sets are as follows:
- Set 1 Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing damage.
- Set 2 Cold, Fire, Poison and Necrotic damage.
- Set 3 Lightning, Force, and Radiant damage.
- Set 4 Psychic, Acid, and Thunder damage.
