Actions - Multiattack: Eldric can make two melee attacks per turn with his gauntlet. - Gauntlet Strike: +15 to hit, 2d8 + 6 necrotic damage.

Dogma Eldric believes that power should be seized at any cost, even if it means challenging gods themselves. His followers are taught to show no mercy, break the will of those they conquer, and let nothing stand in their way of achieving ultimate strength.

Clergy and Temples Eldric’s followers are few but devoted. They hold secretive rituals, offering souls in exchange for Eldric's blessings. Temples are hidden in ruins or crypts, where followers gather in dark ceremony, each seeking to gain power through servitude to their fallen hero.

Pantheon Though once allied with other deities of destruction, Eldric’s ambition led to his execution, sealing his fate as an outcast. His existence is tolerated by some dark deities, yet none trust him fully.

This selection process occurs weekly, ensuring that your most trusted and capable supporters are always prepared to bear the weight of your soul.

Upon your demise, regardless of how or where it occurs, your soul will transfer into one of these chosen individuals, regardless of their location or the plane of existence they occupy. The transfer process ensures that a small fragment of your soul is imbued within each chosen vessel, acting as a fail-safe mechanism. When your mortal body perishes, the remaining essence of your soul converges upon this fragment, allowing you to inhabit the body of the chosen vessel and continue your existence.

In this new form, you retain your Charisma, Intelligence, and Wisdom scores, but you lose all bonuses related to your physical body and instead gain the Constitution, Strength, and Dexterity of your new vessel. This shift means you will be fully integrated into the new body, with all physical attributes, skills, and capabilities of the vessel becoming your own. However, any class features or bonuses tied specifically to your original physical form will be lost. Conversely, if the vessel's class is tied to their physical form, you will gain the corresponding abilities while in their body.

Classes or abilities tied to your soul, intellect, or essence—such as Wizard, Sorcerer, Devoted Follower, or Devoted Leader—remain intact. This ensures that despite the physical change, you retain the core aspects of your identity and powers related to your soul's nature.

Backstory[edit]

Once a revered general in the celestial army of his god He Was A formidable force on the battlefield, known for his unparalleled strength and unwavering loyalty. However, ambition fueled by a desire for greatness led him down a treacherous path. In secret, he sought forbidden knowledge and methods to surpass the gods themselves, believing that true power lay beyond divine limitations. His insatiable quest for strength culminated in an audacious plan to harness dark energies that would elevate him above his celestial brethren.

When his ambitions were discovered, the god he served viewed his actions as a betrayal. Stripped of his title and honor, he was exiled and sentenced to execution, a grim fate that awaited those who dared to challenge divine authority. In the depths of despair, he clung to life, refusing to succumb to the fate that had been decreed. Instead, he embraced the very darkness he sought to wield, transforming into a Deathshadow, a being caught between the realms of life and death.

As a Deathshadow, he gained extraordinary powers, allowing him to navigate the shadows and manipulate the essence of life and death itself. Yet, this transformation came at a cost; his connection to the living world became tenuous, and he often found himself wrestling with the urge to turn against those who summoned him. The power that flowed through him was intoxicating, but it was laced with betrayal and a volatile hunger for revenge against the gods who cast him aside.

Now, he exists as a spectral presence, drifting through the realms, a brooding figure shrouded in darkness. Those who dare to summon him do so at their own peril, as his loyalty is fickle, and the temptation to turn against his summoners is always present. His enigmatic nature and formidable abilities make him both a powerful ally and a dangerous adversary, embodying the duality of life and death in every encounter.
