Heroic Spirit, Variant (5e Class)

Heroic Spirit

Servants are Heroic Spirits and Divine Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail for the purpose of competing under Masters in the Holy Grail War. Servants are Heroic Spirits made into special familiars of the highest rank that are bound to the Master. Pure Heroic Spirits, the "main body" in the Throne of Heroes, can only be summoned by the World, and summoning even one is considered to be a miraculous occurrence. Differing from the normal definition of familiars that can be likened to minor mascots unable to be stronger than their masters, Heroic Spirits are the most powerful of beings with which even the five magicians would never be able to forge a contract with. Rather than it being a hard process to summon them or the fact that they far surpass magi, it is their intrinsic nature in that they are beings beyond magecraft. Magi can perform rituals to borrow their power to mimic them, but cannot summon actual Heroic Spirits themselves.

Creating a Heroic Spirit

You can make a Heroic Spirit quickly by following these suggestions. First, choose witch sub-class(type) your heroic spirit will be like Saber, Lancer, Berserker and etc. Each sub-class(type) has different saving throws. You should be have one of two as the highest ability score. Second, choose a background that makes sense with your backstory.
