Storm Titan (5e Class)

Storm Titan

Created through various perilous ways a storm titan is a marvel of nature commanding the elements of a storm, growing to colossal sizes, and possessing dominating strength. Those lucky enough to survive becoming a storm titan are not to be trifled with as they can be known to have monstrous tempers and and amplified abilities during so as they let loose their inner fury.

Whether it be for the protection of nature, the destruction of those in your path, or simply as a way to be one with nature as a storm titan you’re never one to lose in a contest of strength or endurance drawing out power and employing versatile abilities to mold the world are you.

Molded Legends

Brought about by, usually either genius mad scientist or cults with foundations older than most civilizations, conducing an experiment or ritual to bring one closer to the greatness of the colossal titans that walked the earth. Through painstaking preservation you have been blessed or cursed with the blood of a storm lord which caries the properties of a raging storm inside it and the physique of a storm giant which posses legendary resilience and strength. Due to the sheer raw power contained within these creatures, steps have been meticulously taken to ensure the survival of the recipient.

Genetically altering the recipient’s physique with multiple mutations bolstering the recipient’s body to the limit before repeated attempts of merging the physique a storm giant’s, unimaginably painful and violent this process takes time and cruel anguish as the recipient is broken down and built back up again and integrated with the storm giant on a molecular level. Those that survive the process of gaining the physique of a storm giant are then immediately forced to endure another series of painstaking mutations, this time targeting the cardiovascular system as the recipients body is now able to potentially house the mythical ability of the storm lords without it completely obliterating them.

Through the process of gathering large amounts of water and air elements and smelting them down to essence the recipient is injected with rounds of controlled doses until stable enough to receive the blood of the storm lords themselves. After several repeated attempts at this process very few are able to live to, but those that do become living legends beyond their foundations becoming a storm titan. Storm titan’s have blood that contains a constant raging storm capable of manipulating the elements and whose body becomes capable of demonstrating marvelous feats of strength and increasing size to rival that of the storm giants.

Every creature chosen must make a Charisma saving throw. On a successful save, nothing happens as the creature shakes free from its rage. On a failed save, they must use their reaction to move their speed towards you and for 1 minute they have disadvantage on attacks against anyone other than you. Any affected creatures can remake their save each time they take damage from a source other than you. A creature immune to the charmed condition or incapable of hearing you is immune to this bellow. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to this bellow for the next 24 hours.

• As an action on your turn you can let out a horrific bellow enforcing your presence attempting to terrify all creatures you chose within a 30-foot cone instilling an almost instinctual level of fear. All chosen creatures must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, nothing happens as the creature regains its composure. On a failed save, they become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. A creature incapable of hearing you is immune to this bellow. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to this bellow for the next 24 hours.
