Soul Forsworn (5e Class)
Soul Forsworn
A lifeless body falls to the ground, only to arise again like a puppet on strings. Grasped in their hand is a sword, emanating a faint crimson glow that is reflected in the eyes of the wielder. Soul Forsworn are those who have forsaken their mortal bodies and instead bound their souls to objects of power. Their original body carries on as a vessel, strung along like a puppet, controlled from an attached item that has become the new conduit of the soul. These items come in many forms such as weapons, trinkets or armour.
