Green Lantern (5e Class)

Green Lantern[edit]
Green Lanterns are some of the most powerful warriors in the galaxy, meant for policing entire sectors of the galaxy and keeping inter-planetary villains at bay. Sometimes, they'd go into a single planet just to help with domestic situations.
Ringed Heroes[edit]
What’s most important for a hero? Incredible strength? There’s always something or someone stronger. Super-speed? Hope you don’t trip. Telepathy? Do you REALLY want to know what others are thinking about you? You don’t need any of those abilities to be a member of the Green Lantern Corps, but a strong will backed by a wonderful imagination are essential requirements. Green Lanterns are mostly good characters with powerful rings on their finger, rings that are the most dangerous weapons in existence. Lanterns are very careful to keep their rings out of enemy hands, but they have safeguards in case anyone, and I mean anyone, gets their grubby hands on the rings. If you do not have your ring, or for some reason, you simply cannot reach it, you cannot use the abilities of this class. For this class, the ring is not counted as a magical item, but as an arcane focus.
Creating a Green Lantern[edit]
Green Lantern heroes are mostly pushed into the role, since they don't have a choice if the ring chooses you. However, the reason the ring picked you is different. Green Lantern rings are focused on finding the worthy recipient with powerful willpower, so you must have insane will. Where did you get your mental willpower? Was there some kind of tragedy in your life that made you strong in the effect? Maybe it was racial discrimination or some personality trait that made you an oddball, so you learned to ignore it. How did you learn of the Green Lanterns?
