Fel Embraced (4e Theme)

By Daocaonan [1]

Fel Embraced

You are embraced and infused by Fel power, which permeates your very being. The Fel fills you with corrupting chaos magic from another dimension, which strengthens you and your powers. The twisting nether fel world's coexists with our own, being intertwined with our world in many ways, allowing for gateways for passage, and causes actions in both worlds to effect the other. The twisting manifolds of the nether are interconnected with the commonly understood world, and those who understand how to wield these powers are given immense access to tremendous power. It also comes with a tremendous burden of corrupting magic.

Race Prerequisites

Any race.

Background

You often felt a strange connection to another world, one where seemingly unrelated events in this world were connected. You could often predict the future from seemingly random events, or could feel how things were connected from long ago. Many times, places and events were all connected, despite being millennia apart in our own world. You have an intrinsic ability to interact with the world, and understand intuitively how it works. Your ability to move and interact freely with this world has grown with time, to the point where you now understand exactly how the world works is uncanny. Your ability to read people, events, and time itself has grown, as well as your ability to shift to other dimensions. You are an innately arcane being, infused with fel power that you can tap in to from the twisting nether. And you can see beyond what ordinary mortals are even aware exists.

Associated Skill: Perception, Arcane

Starting Feature

Fel Infused

Benefit

You are a naturally fel creature, and as a result exhibit features that any creature from the twisting nether would. You seem to glow with an effervescent green and purple hue, and your eyes often glow bright enough to shine through a blindfold. Your body bulges and seems to shift strangely, as light is warped around you. You are uncannily strong and large, unnaturally large for a member of your race, and often very muscular. You also often sprout small horns, thorns and boney growths over your body, and have strange, glowing tattoos. For the purpose of meeting prerequisites, you are considered both a Fey and Demon creature, if you are not already. You gain access to the Demon Hunter class's class feature "Soul Stone", and may use Soul stones or take Soul stone related feats as if you were a Demon Hunter (4e Class). In addition, you gain a +2 bonus to Arcana, Insight, and Perception rolls, on account of your otherworldly perception capabilities. When you miss with an attack roll, you gain a +1 bonus to all attack rolls until the end of your next turn. You also gain the "Twisting Manifolds" Theme utility power.

Additional Features

Level 5 Feature

Chaos Magic

Benefit

You are a naturally chaotic and uncontrollable creature, brimming with pure, unconstrained chaos energy. You shift reality as you attack and move. You may make attacks as if you are 5 squares away from your current position, including melee or ranged attacks. In addition, when a power would push, pull, or slide you, you may instead teleport the equivalent squares in distance in any direction. When you make any skill related roll, you may roll a 1d4 and add the result to your skill roll.

Level 10 Feature

Shifting Manifolds

Benefit

You gain truesight out to 20 squares, and gain darkvision. You are immune to the blinded and deafened conditions, and can see in any direction at all the times on account of your otherworldly sensory capabilities. You are able to intuitively see the twisting manifolds of the nether with little difficulty and move between realms. When you teleport, you may increase the distance you teleport by 1 square, and in addition you gain a +1 to all defenses and attack rolls while in a polymorph form of any type.
