Stone Wielder (5e Class)

Stone Wielder

The Halfling hiding among the rocks on top of the clift picks up a fist size stone and throws it down hitting the giant in the head. The giant roars out and the halfling vanishes into the large boulder next to him.

Heart of Stone

Stone Wielders are men and women who embrace the earth and more so the Stones, Rocks, and Boulders that can be found among soil. These people have a kinship with the stone. This link is so strong that many claim that stone is their spirit animal.

A Stone Wielder can be the big man working in the mines or the small woman in the sun dress digging in her garden and everything between.

Creating a Stone Wielder

Now think about who makes up your character, what is their background? How did they end up as a Stone Wielder? Was it something they were drawn to as a child? Was it something that they discovered later in life. Was it part of their job or studies? Do they look fondly at at this kinship with stone? Do they speak openly about this kinship or are they guarded about their feelings?

What made them start adventuring? Did they decide to do this for the next thrill? Was is by pure chance you were in the wrong place at the right time? Are you looking for something existential or personal? All these questions are lead to better understanding your character and their motivations.

It can be hard to find good backgrounds for an Stone Wielder. Miner will be the most widely applicable background. Guild artisan may be chosen if they are sculptor or a gem cutter. A noble background could be chosen for how well educated lords and ladies can be. Creativity will be your best guide for your background.
