Evolutionist (5e Class)

Evolutionist

“

Evolutionists are the change incarnate. They take the rules of flesh given to them, then they bend them to their monstrous tune.

”

From the shadows strikes the scythe like claw, decapitating orc chief with one swift move. The rest of the beast walks out of the wall revealing a mantis like appearance for the moment, as it disappeared again from the eyes of raid party. They knew it shall strike again, but god knows from where...

At top of the tower stands single soldier, wearing only a brown robe with dragon insignia on it. Below him a clash of steel - battlefield. Then through the air went a mighty roar. As the robes fell a gigantic red dragon flew up. The air suddenly filled with fire and lightning - both necessary to defend his homeland.

Masters of matter

Evolutionsts are masters of flesh. Is it by blood inheritance, falling into a liquid of mysterious origin, the influence of otherworldly power or years of extensive research about shapethurgy - the manipulation of flesh, either way they know their bodies better then the world around them. Usually the people around them perceive them as monsters hiding in the shadows, unholy creations, although there are cases where they are perceived as holy or even from the godly origin. For the Evolutionist himself its only a matter of personal preference what they shall do about the world around them. Some after mastering themselves wish to master the world itself, be it knowledge or power. Some use shapethurgy to accomplish a specific goal - may it be of research or something personal.

Creating an Evolutionist

When creating Evolutionist there are some questions the player must answer. First of all is how your character developed this power. Was it of unknown origin, a blessing or years of training among other Evolutionists? The second questions should be how your character sees their power - do they consider it a tool, curse or something else entirely? Lastly how the world perceives them - was your character respected? Or were they despised? All of the above questions should be considered, as the nature of every Evolutionist is controlled, although monstrous.

Quick Build
