Favoured Soul
Your body was made into a weapon. Your soul, the hilt. Your mind, the edge. Psionic potential crackles like static, leaving a trail of ozone scent wherever you travel.
Before you existed in this body, there was another. Almost understood whispers and unknowable anger haunt your dreams.
Whatever might have been, whatever everpresent anger, whatever piercing needs poison your mind, all becomes drive. For the next target. You must have a Charisma score, a Constituion score, and a Wisdom score of 17 or higher in order to multiclass in or out of this class.
