Core Phantom (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
|
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Incomplete H&W table. Phase: While intangible, can you perform all actions as normal, including while you're inside of something? What happens if you end your turn (after 1 minute) inside of an object? Do you gain a cover bonus while inside an item, or are you totally untargetable? Are you still targetable with AOE spells while inside an item? Do you allow an attack of opportunity if you slip into an item while maintaining melee range (technically) with an enemy? Ex. You are in melee combat with an enemy standing next to a pillar. You use Phase to move into the pillar. What happens? What are you allowed to do while in the pillar? etc.

Core Phantom[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Usually Core Phantoms have wispy hair and black sclera, accompanied by claws and fangs. They can change their legs into one ghost tail and fly for short periods of time. Their skin and hair can be any color but usually are complementary colors to each other, or the same color just different hues.
Core Phantoms are the physical manifestation of a person’s soul OR a motivation/drive made physical. At their centers are things called Cores- the source of their lives and power that must be fueled via their Drive. A Core Phantom can survive a lot as long as their Core is intact and healthy.
History[edit]
A Drive is what made the Core Phantom develop, and must be fed instead of the Core Phantom consuming food or drink. A Drive is up the the player to decide, and can be fed in very simple ways (i.e, a Knowledge drive being fed by researching something at the library, a Power drive being fed by sparring.)
Society[edit]
Core Phantoms are a relatively lawless species, preferring to live solitarily in territories called Haunts. Many Core Phantoms will actually have fights with other Core Phantoms upon meeting as a greeting of sorts, in order to test abilities.
Despite the lack of governing, the Core Phantoms all speak of a secretive and mysterious Ghost King, whose Call they would all heed when it comes. Not out of love, but of instinctual nature.
Core Phantoms usually mate for life, and are fiercely protective of who they call mates, to the point that if their chosen partner should die, they themselves will let their drives burn out.

Male: Pariah, Skulker, Plasmius, Clockwork
Female: Desiree, Spectra, Ember
