Paladin
Soulseeker Universal Skill List
AWAKENED SOUL | Passive |
As you draw your first ragged breath, darkness breaks to make way for the light - the warmth seeps back into your skin. Once more you walk among the living. You dare not reach into the depths of your memory, lest you draw the attention of that you only narrowly escaped.
It is a place beyond imagining. Yet in other ways your soul has awakened, bringing you closer to forces unseen; to an unknown realm all mortal beings whisper of with dread.
This attunement has granted you a higher form of being, making it not only possible to see and hear the dead that still roam this plane's physical realm and beyond, but for your mind to grasp and channel forces from that most strange and unknowable of places - the very place you may someday return..
This ability increases your attunement by 1 point.
XP COST: 20
TELEKINESIS

REQUIREMENTS: 1 WIS

CHANNELED STRIKING
| Fast Action / Buff | 5 Essence (Repeating) |
It is always there, the veil that shrouds the waking world from that which lies beyond. You feel it’s gentle caress against your conscience, never forgotten, but always beyond sight.

This skill will operate at a continuous cost of 5 essence each round for however long the channel remains active.

WHISPERS OF THE SOUL
| Passive / Buff |
Sometimes death comes unjustified. Cruelly. Leaving behind a mark in the physical world. This mark could be left at the place of their death, or within an object close to them, holding shimmers of their essence.
Soulseekers are able to detect these anomalies and interact with them.
Depending on how strong the energy signature is, a Seeker coming into contact with it can begin to form a link to the spirit who left it behind, able to catch glimpses of their past life, or what happened to them.
Grants 1 point of attunement.

SPECTRAL TRAVELER
| Standard Action / Utility | Cost: 1 Essence |
Through intensive meditation and training, you’ve developed the ability to shed your corporeal form. Allowing you to move between the immaterial space between planes exactly as a spirit would.
In this state, you may freely speak with specific spirits, granted that you possess a personal belonging that might serve as a sufficient anchor to summon them forth. A Seeker may encounter any number of spirits in this form, friendly or otherwise.
Their physical body remains vulnerable, and appears to be in a deep sleep. A seeker who is separated from their body for too long, runs the risk of garnering the attention of malicious entities in search of a suitable vessel.
