The Tormented One (5e Class)
(This Background is meant to be only chaotic evil, and exclusively used with: The Kaev race, The Forsaken background and the Chains of Cadarso Subclass in conjunction.)
The Tormented One[edit]
You are a monster, more or less, until you truly awakened, you were patrolling the dungeon, it is now you truly gain sentience, your bloodlust is a bottomless well, you were made to relentlessly chase your pray and destroy it, painfully, for that matter. You trascend the limits of your mortal vessel thanks to the dark powers used to create you.
Your body is sturdy, your claws formidable weapons, an unstoppable killing machine, following their targets to the ends of the world.
You make use of your mutated physique combinated with bits of dark magic that dwell inside you, remnants of the forgotten, petty gods.
Binding of the old gods[edit]
You can't use armor, of any kind, your flesh is more than enough, futhermore besides your claws, chains, and beak, you cannot use any other weapons.
Corrupted soul[edit]
You can't attune to magic items, your soul is far too twisted to sintonize with other magics.
