The Soulbrand

There are tales of Heroes. Tales of individuals that achieved beyond what should be possible for living creatures. Paragons that took to the field against vile abominations, undead tyrants and even the cabals of foul gods, writing their legends with the blood of their foes.

And then there are the truly evil villains, those whose names are spoken with spit and bated breath, those who engraved themselves into the pages of history through fear, bloodsheds and unspeakable acts.

And yet they have something in common. Almost as famous as the hero is the weapon they wield. The name of the shining blade or twisted bow that accompanied them through their journey. These artefacts that endure far after their wielders have passed on.

Are you the spirit of a great warrior sealed within your own greatsword by your sworn enemy? Left upon an ancient field of battle beside your own skeletal body.

Or perhaps you are the devoted champion to your god, sealed within a elegant platinum bow to guide their champions? Placed deep within a sealed temple to be found by those that pass the trials of your god?

Or are you perhaps an ancient tyrant king that bound yourself to your great Black Warhammer in hopes of achieving eternal life? Each warrior that holds you falls serving your dark purpose of achieving lichdom without a body.

Whatever your story, you feel a new touch upon your cold and dusty handle.

It is time to write a new legend.

Soul of Nature

How came I here?

Stuck within this inanimate form...what is your purpose? Who were you?

A common druid that died in nature, and imprinted your essence into a nearby tree? An earth elemental who was summoned into an implement to aid in rituals? A spirit of nature that gave up your mobile form to grant prosperity to the land around you?

No matter your origin, you are a device grown of nature. You are built of wood and plant matter, twisting and knotted to serve your purpose as a weapon.

Weapon of Nature.

You cannot be a weapon made of metal or any other material that is not naturally grown.

You are grown from a plant of some form. You are vulnerable to fire and can be destroyed if exposed to large amounts of it.

As long as a tiny piece of your wooden body survives, you can regrow yourself over the course of a day to a full sized item.

You know the Shillelagh and Druidcraft cantrips and can cast it on yourself at will. When Shillelagh is active and you are used to attack, you can use your own Wisdom score as the attack modifier instead of your Champion's.

Elemental Attribute

As a weapon of nature, once a day you can select one of the following elements: Fire, Cold, Lightning or Poison.

You deal extra damage based on the selected element on each attack.

• At 1st Level: You deal an additional 1d6 damage.
• At 5th Level: You deal an additional 2d6 damage.
• At 9th Level, You deal an additional 3d6 damage.
• At 13th Level, You deal an additional 4d6 damage.
• At lvl 17, You deal an additional 5d6 damage.

When you manifest yourself using projection, you do so as a representation of the selected element, though you are harmless on contact.

Spellcasting

As a Soul of Nature you can cast spells even if you are not being carried by your Champion. At 3rd Level, you gain access to one of the bonus spell lists below corresponding to your spell level. In addition, you learn 2 non-damaging druid cantrips of your choice.

Your spell save DC is 8 + your wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus

• If your champion would have taken half damage from a successful saving throw and the damage type is the same as your chosen element, the damage is negated.
• Your Champion constantly deals 2d6 damage per round to enemies within 5 feet at the end of their turn. The damage type is the same as your chosen element for the day.
• Your Champion can float up to 5ft above the ground and move freely.

Ritual of Nature

At 11th Level, you learn to travel long distances through the power of plants and nature. You can cast Treestride at its base level once per long rest without expending a spell slot. To do so, you must be thrust against the tree used for the travel.

In addition, you learn the Speak With Plants spell and can cast it once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Heart of the Forest

At 15th Level, when thrust into the ground for over 1 minute, you sprout roots and form a connection to the sprites of nature in a 30ft area. This must be done in the open and in soil that is capable of supporting plant life. You can select some or all of the following effects:

• You can grow any plants that are local to the region from seeds to their adult form.
• You can grow any fruits of your choice from surrounding plants, the fruits do not need to be of a type that grows naturally from the plants in question. Each fruit has the properties of one Goodberry from the Goodberries druid spell. You can create as many fruits as you like, but keep in mind death by overeating is a possible.
• You can grow large, throned vines out of the ground to create walls up to 10ft tall around the outskirts of the 30ft area.
• Individuals that take a long rest within 30ft of you become cured of any poison, sickness and diseases.
• You can use Entangle and Grasping Vine spells on any creature you wish within the 30ft area without expending a spell slot.

You must maintain this form for at least 1 hour for any plants and goodberries to finish growing. Being removed from the ground leaves any plants that have grown as a result of your influence, but any magical fruits lose their enchantment after 1 full day.

Charge Tap - Wrath of Nature

At 19th Level, Once every 7 days as a full action, when embedded or thrust against a living piece of wood you can meld yourself with the life of that plant and create a new form for yourself.

Soul of Battle

You are a not a mage nor a creature of magic, and yet you find yourself trapped within your own weapon. How did this happen?

You are a fighter, a creature of steel and the thrill of battle, or perhaps one of shadows and blades in the dark. You don't know how you were trapped in this form, but you do know one thing for sure...

...Whoever is responsible will pay.

You are trapped within a mundane weapon. This weapon does not appear special in any way. This weapon could have belonged to you in life, or it may be a random weapon that was selected due to proximity.

Weapon of War

You are a soul trapped inside a mundane weapon. You can be enchanted and enhanced like any other regular weapon, though the bonus from Legendary Weapon remains the same.

You maintain the same effectiveness in combat regardless of any damage you sustain unless your blade or other method of damaging creatures is completely destroyed. You can be re-forged as long as a piece of your original body remains. You then take on the Weapon Variant abilities of the new weapon type.

Fight as One

At 1st Level, your familiarity with combat enhances the speed at which your Champion makes strikes, attacking with such speed that it seems like each single cut or blow from your form becomes two.

Every time your Champion lands an attack on a creature, you can roll an extra attack against another creature within 5 ft using your Charisma modifier for the attack and damage roll.

Tactician

At 3rd Level, you observe the ebb and flow of battle, seeing what your allies can not.

Manoeuvres You learn 3 manoeuvres of your choice from the Battle Master's list of manoeuvres. You can use your superiority die to enhance your Champion's attack.

Many manoeuvres enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one manoeuvre per attack. You learn two additional manoeuvres of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new manoeuvres, you can also replace one manoeuvre you know with a different one.

Superiority Die You have four superiority dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain another superiority die at 7th level and one more at 15th level.

At 10th level your Superiority Dies turn into d10's, at 18th level they turn into d12's.

The DC for any saving throws in relation to your manoeuvres is 8 + Your proficiency bonus + Charisma or Wisdom (Your choice)

Avatar of War

At 7th Level, you grant your Champions what remnants of strength you had in life for 30 seconds (5 rounds)

• Your Champion gains advantage on dexterity and strength checks and saving throws.
• Your Champion gains +2 to their Strength, Dexterity and Constitution scores for the duration.
• When moving towards enemies, your Champion gains a base movement speed of 50ft.

Projected Strike

At 11th Level, once per turn you can project one attack your Champion makes to another enemy. Instead of taking your Fight as One bonus attack against an enemy in range, you project a blurred phantom image of yourself at an enemy up to 30ft away, dealing the same damage dealt to your Champion's target to the selected creature.

Alternatively, once per turn you can allow your champion to make their attack against a target up to 30ft away, projecting the image of yourself directly.

Rally Arms

At 15th Level, once per long rest you can send out a wave of mental fortitude centred on your body to up to 8 creatures within a 30ft radius.

The creatures are purged of any effect taking hold of their mind including charm, sleep, stun, silence and any affects currently reducing their attributes.

Charge Tap - Back to Back

At 19th Level, once every 7 days you can expend all of your power to pull your own physical form back from beyond the grave.

Directly behind your Champion, you manifest yourself as a projection using your Champion's shadow. You gain a perfect copy of their equipment and any magic affecting them at the time. Removing any equipment from your body will cause it to disappear.

Your hit points, attributes, class and race are the same as your Champion's. If your Champion takes a different form, your form will shift to match theirs as long as they can still hold your physical body.

When using this ability, you must roll initiative. You are then added to the initiative order.

You are completely independent of your Champion and can take your own actions, however you cannot move. You move with your Champion and always remain one square directly behind them.

You can still use any abilities your Soulbrand weapon type grants to assist your Champion, but you cannot benefit from them yourself.

Your appearence during this effect is that of your form during life, but blurred and slightly transparent so that your finer features cannot be observed. If you had not previously defined your appearence, you must select one now.

If your Champion's hitpoints are reduced to 0, your hitpoints are reduced to 0, or when neither you nor your Champion have dealt or received damage for 1 minute, you will retract back to your Soulbrand body and become inanimate for 1 full day. You are treated as a regular +1 magic weapon while inanimate. You transfer any remaining hitpoints you had to your Champion after being dispelled.
