# Starcraft Units Converted for 5e Ruleset
Words are hard, and intros are harder still. The following is a culmination of a decades long love of Starcraft and a newfound passion for Dungeons and Dragons. I'll never claim that this is balanced, or perfectly reflects the units from the games. I just think its cool, and I hope you have fun playing around with them.

## The Firstborn
The Firstborn are a proud race of psionic warriors, traveling the planes hunting down creatures of the Swarm. Proudly (or arrogantly) believing themselves to have achieved “Purity of Form”, they claim to have been the first race created by the gods.

**Strength through Unity  **The Firstborn are gifted with a collective memory. Every member of their race can be psychically linked to each other, sharing centuries of memories and battlefield experience.

**Power of the Mind  **The innate psionic energy that connects all Firstborn can be harnessed in other ways as well. Blades of psychic power, energy shields and beams of lightning are all called on by the Firstborn to devastate their enemies.

### Zealots
The core of the Firstborn armies are Zealots, master melee fighters who charge headlong into battle.

Zealots use their latent psionic energy to produce a razor sharp psyblade on each arm. These blades are razor sharp and able to slice through both flesh and armor with little effort. Coupled with their armor and psychic shielding, a legion of Zealots can decimate an unprepared army with nary an injury.

### Dragoons
Those Firstborn soldiers that suffer the most grievous of injuries often find themselves with a burning desire to continue the fight. The Dragoon Core is comprised of volunteer veterans who are implanted in massive exoskeletons, bristling with weapons and covered in armor plating. These pilots are among the most skilled tacticians in the Firstborn armies.

### Immortals
Dragoon Core veterans that display exceptional battlefield talent and leadership skills can be promoted to an Immortal exoskeleton. These behemoth exosuits are walking artillery, capable of laying waste to entire armies and absorbing phenomenal amounts of damage.

### Archon
Desperate times will often call for desperate measures. Such is the birth of an Archon. Two Templars nearing death with no chance of rescue can shed their physical forms and merge as one, becoming a being of pure psychic energy. Pulsing with power, a single Archon can completely overturn a battle, but at a terrible cost.

### Dark Templar
In all societies there are individuals that askew the norm. Dark Templar are the pinnacle example of this trait. Purposefully severing their psychic connection to the rest of their race, they instead tap into the raw power of the void and cloak themselves in shadows. Saboteurs and assassins, renegades and revolutionaries, Dark Templar are both shunned and praised for their defence of the Firstborn.

### Stalkers
An offshoot of the Dragoon design, Stalkers pilots are made up exclusively from wounded dark templar volunteers. The slimmer, more agile design allows Stalkers to maneuver around the battlefield and strike their enemies from behind before vanishing into the void.
