Planebreaker Planar Character Options 5E
Planar natives, multiverse explorers, and those touched by mysterious forces leaking through from the planes: these characters are shaped by backgrounds and experiences unlike those found in more conventional environs. From a Warrior who Strikes With an Amethyst Fist, channelling power through a psionically resonant prosthetic, to a traveller character with a mysterious cosmic map imprinted on their skin, to a character with the Limbo Touched ability, who can change objects at will—characters with ties to the planes are just a bit different.
This book is brimming with new material and new choices to create and advance characters shaped by contact from beyond. The Cypher System version includes:
- Over two dozen new species descriptors, planar descriptors, and foci. Play a Cosmic Rambler, Crossplane Refugee, or Reformed Fiend, who Aspires to Angelic Perfection, Is Pledge to Annihilation, or Wields a Chaos Blade.
- Scores of new character abilities that can be integrated into any Cypher System game. Build or modify your own types, descriptors, and foci to bring a touch of the transdimensional to any campaign!
- Dozens of cyphers and artifacts from, or affected by, the planes. Wield a soul net, reality tuner, or crow’s eye.
The 5E version includes:
- Six new character species. Play a lava elf, born from dimensional warfare, or a machinelike surk—who wasn’t born at all!
- 16 new subclasses, such as the Unearthly Gleaner sorcerer, the Gun Jack rogue, and the Oath of the Angelic Perfection paladin.
- The cosmic rambler, crossplane refugee, and reformed fiend backgrounds.
- 14 new feats, nearly 50 new spells, and dozens of new magic items from, or related to, the planes.
This is an inspiring companion to Path of the Planebreaker , but you don’t need that book to enjoy everything this tome offers. This book duplicates some material from Path of the Planebreaker (so players can find all character-related content in a single place), but most of this book’s content is new and not duplicated from that title.
