Source : Soul Warrior

With a flash on energy in her hands, an elf dashes forward as two thin blue daggers manifest seemingly out of thin air. Her body appears to be covered in a thin green shell that allows her to almost meld into the surrounding foliage.

A dwarf stands staunchly in the face of the drooling ogre, a knowing look on his face. Within moments, his entire body is covered in a suit of translucent black half plate armor. A similarly crystalline shield manifests on his arm as he positions himself for the oncoming blow, while he readies a pulsating mace at his side.

After spotting the pack of goblins she had been tracking for days, she mimics drawing back a bowstring. As her hand pulls back a thin white line appears, as does a transparent arrow with a glowing red point. Her fingers release and the line vanishes, though the arrow flies true towards her target.

Soul warriors know that only through conflict will their skills grow. Each soul warrior’s personal weapon, referred to as a soul weapon, along with their soul armor differs in color and shape according to his personality, mental strength, and even mood. Although no two souls are alike, all warriors share the same lethal potential.

Pouvoir de l'Âme

The defining trait of the soul warrior is his ability to supplement his physical attacks with psionic feats and powers. A combination of martial skill and psionic ability allows the soul warrior to match and sometimes surpass a normal fighter of equal experience. As a soul warrior gains experience and power, his martial skills and psionic abilities grow in concert.

Though they start off with only the basic talents that may not seem as flashy or unique as your run-of-the-mill soldier or bodyguard, the strength and versatility of their mental abilities quickly turn them into formidable adversaries. Soon enough, a soul warrior is capable of unleashing their lethality through various forms and means.

Préparé à toute situation

The souls warrior is able to fight with his psionic power in both melee and ranged combat. Their versatility of strength or finesse, direct or subversive, aggressive or protective talents allow the soul warrior to claim equal footing–at least–with any other combat-oriented soldiers on the field of battle.

While most soul warriors choose to delve deeper into one aspect or another, no matter what path their training takes them they still have the skills and abilities to deal with nearly any situation facing them. Each soul warrior might not be as prepared for a specific encounter as another, they all start with the same potential and can gain equal footing given time and effort.

Créer un Guerrier de l'Âme

As you build your soul warrior, think about how you first learned about your skills and what you did to hone them. Were you forced out of self defense to innately protect yourself? Did you use your abilities in a deceitful manner? Was there someone to help guide you through your training? What first caused your abilities to manifest? A threat to your life or someone else, a desire to do harm, or a family trait that was coaxed out of you.

How do you feel about the psionic powers coursing through you? Are they a part of you, or simply a tool to be used? Is it a blessing or a curse? Do you feel the need to master your abilities, or are they best when left in their raw state? It could be that these powers have been given to you for some higher purpose. Or you might decide that these abilities are a curse that you wish had never manifested themselves. Perhaps you feel that the energy coursing within you provide a link to a greater energy.

How do you best take advantage of your abilities? Do you prefer wielding swift blades of sharpened energy that cut through the air? Perhaps your need for protection causes you to don a hefty suit of plate like armor. If could be that you feel more at home as far away from danger as you can be. Or you could have dedicated your training to all of the martial studies.
