Planar Sniper (5e Class)
|
Planar Sniper
Deep breath in, deep breath out... The man calmly begins aligning his aim, with the target. He feels the wind as he aims at the foe and measures distance, until the final breath, with which only a slight 'click' is heard, before the rifle in his hands lights up. Colors of yellow, red, and black surge through the gun as the bullet flies out, only leaving the flaming trace behind, puncturing through stone, wood, and metal, unstoppable and untethered, for it will find its mark in the end.
The sounds of scraping, rough metal, and heavy footsteps echo through the empty dungeon halls until a single figure is found in front. The panicked bandit raises his crossbow and shoots, seeing the shot pierce the unknown figure's body. A heartbeat passes, but no blood flows and nobody moves; only a mix of lights shows from the inside as a single emotionless voice is heard "Threat Engaged".
A laughing man runs through a battle with a gun at his side, never staying long in one place, shooting and screaming his victories. Blood pools beneath him, but he does not care as arrows fly by him and swords cannot touch him. He dances the dance of death — his true and endless performance of mayhem. Looking for more and more subjects to show it off to!
Planar Snipers may seem ordinary to some, but they carry a tool of rare existence, the Planar Rifle. Their aim is supported by it, and its deadliness being able to see through to the death of anything. But such power meets the hands of few, and who it is varies greatly, as do the very guns they carry, leaving only the question, "What will you do with it?".
Planes Made Manifest
Rifles of The Planes are rare existences, formed from the primal energies themselves, sometimes naturally and sometimes artificially, but either way, their creation is a long and near impossible process. Each one is unique, made of different planar energies that form themselves in unique and special ways, becoming empowered by their planes of origin.
Unlikely Fate
The Planar Rifles are rare beyond belief, with only a few existing throughout the planes themselves, so finding one is near impossible. Be it dark dealings with an outsider entity, sometimes determined by one's very fate, or sheer improbable luck, but no matter who finds it, it changes the course of the individual's life forever.
Eternal Bond
Once the owner of the planar rifle is found, it attunes itself to the owner's soul, drawing itself partially into the gun and shaping itself to fit the owner more. With the weapon and the wielder bonding eternally, they are even connected after the user's death, permanently becoming one until a new user is found.
