Variant Rules[edit]

Player Familiars[edit]

Servants are the greatest form that magical familiars can take and, as such, can not survive in the material plane without a master. When creating a Heroic Spirit, a player must choose a separate humanoid creature, typically a spell caster, to be their “Master”. If either the player or their “Master” is considered dead, they die instantly and can not be resurrected by any means, including the Wish spell, until a time set by the DM.

The "Master" also will also get 3 command stamps, they are like a tattoo that can be seen on his hand the master can use this command to make different effects to the servant. You can use it to regenerate health equal to all the servant's hit dice. You can use it to recover all Noble Phantasm uses and Noble Phantasm points, and you can use it to make the servant make any possible action you want, he can't refuse that order but he will be aware while he do it.

All this uses cost 1 command spells, when you expend all of it the servant will cease to be yours and he will disappear in 8 H unless he signs a contract with another spellcaster to be his Servant, in that case that new Master will gain 3 command spells, a master who has lost his Servant by spending all the command spells will not be able to re-sign a contract to be his Master again.


If you play a campaign with the theme of the war of the holy grail, the judge or the servant ruler can give commando seals as rewards to missions that they send to the master, but the number of commando seals a master can have will never be greater than 3

Multiclassing[edit]

You can Multiclass into the Heroic Spirit class unless you are already another Heroic spirit.
