Golden Eyes (5e Class)
Golden Eyes
A elven man runs in the forest a pair wolves flanking him on both sides. He is part of their pack.
A human woman close her eyes and reaches out her mind to reach the wolves in the wilds around the city.
Golden Howl
Golden Eyes is sorta like a cross between a ranger and a druid, with a little berserker sprinkled into it, though based around wolves only. The person with this class becomes more wild embracing the animalistic side of his or her personality. The Golden Eyes risk losing themselves to this animalistic side.
