Fursaken
A tabaxi is ambushed by a horde of hobgoblins. He is surrounded, and the hobgoblins prepare to unleash a coordinated and devastating assault. However, their strategy and skill notwithstanding, the tabaxi dodges every attack and spell with no effort. With almost irritating enthusiasm, he admits that he just got lucky.
A leonin comes across a group of bandits attacking a caravan. Without hesitation, he leaps into the fray, mauling and biting them with a barrage of claw and fang. The bandits are quickly dispatched, for the leonin's bestial might has never failed him amidst the past.
A khenra approaches a group of adventurers that are trespassing on sacred ground. He offers a single warning: depart now or be annihilated. The adventurers draw their weapons, before being promptly engulfed by an explosion of pure magic. The terrain is unharmed, yet the trespassers are utterly removed.
Combat Paradigms, Lost to Fear
The fursaken were once far more common; the practice of utilising one's bestial body and refined mind in tandem was well-known among kingdoms seeking to create perfect armies. Indeed, the vast majority of fursaken were soldiers within ancient armies, and they were capable of destroying their adversaries with little damage to their own side. Eventually, they became feared by more than their enemies. Their lieges hunted them down until they were wholly eradicated, and the secrets of their power were removed from all records, effectively removing the fursaken from history. However, some individuals prevail, carrying their secrets and sharing them only with honorable bestial adventurers. You bear this power, this relic of the past, and it is yours to wield as you please.
Creating a Fursaken
When creating a fursaken, consider how you obtained your powers, and your feelings regarding others of your practice. Did you learn your arts from a sage who escaped from execution millennia ago? Perhaps you uncovered the secrets to your power whilst exploring ancient ruins? Do you despise royalty for ordering the massacre of those within your craft? Perhaps you do not inculpate anyone, for this persecution occurred thousands of years ago? The fursaken were abandoned by those they served, and as such, many bear grudges against those who sought their death, so consider your character's feelings deeply.
