Everslayer (5e Class)
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: This class has additional features with the ASI/feat levels. While that wouldn't be too powerful in and of itself, the feature gets quite a large amount of dice scaling at higher levels, and this will couple with the extra attacks later in the class.

|
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: This class doesn't feel quite fleshed out. It takes a lot from fighter and other official classes to just mash it all together, somewhat. There isn't a strong theme forming this class idea cohesively. Just saying everslayers are beings of intense motivation that have been wronged some way more just forces a backstory than give a solid class idea.

Everslayer[edit]
A human licks his teeth clean of his own blood as he faces down an injured balor, smiling with an alarming amount of enthusiasm, twirling his greataxe in a flourish that begged for the balor to come get more. A dwarf marches into his former mountainhome to kill the beholder that wiped out all life within it, a burning vengeance in his eyes. An angel with a greatsword strides out of his former pantheon's grand hall, soaked in blood. They will hurt the mortals he cares for no longer.
Creating an Everslayer[edit]
Everslayers are beings that harbor intense motivation, to a degree it grants them incredible might. Some have been wronged in some way, or see an enemy as so incredibly abhorrent that they must be destroyed, no matter the cost. Others simply have a blazing passion to fight for what they believe that burns so bright it manifests in tangible power. Many simply fight to grow stronger, wanting to see what kinds of heights they may reach should they push themselves just a little further. Everslayers all have different reasons to break their limits. What motivates you to fight so hard?
