Beast

About these subclasses

Those who embrace the beast draw their strength from a past event, curse or ancestral holdover, something that defines and shaped their view of the world and how they became hardened against it. Beasts burst with passion and ferocity, engaging with life to the fullest, unashamed and unafraid. They love fiercely, and fight . Such a person might be inhabited by a primal spirit or even a shape-shifter, as their nature reflects their ability to literally change their physical form. How does your Beast interact with others around them?

A Beast was designed to be deliberately vague in it’s descriptions to allow for a heavy amount of character influence. The flavour of your Beast could range from a rugged and weathered survivalist or a villages proudly chosen protector.
