You were not born in a cradle, but in a tempest.
The storm is your bloodline, whether through divine blessing, planar ancestry, or surviving a world-shattering squall. The winds whisper your name, the lightning knows your heartbeat, and thunder echoes your fury. Perhaps you are the child of an elemental, the chosen of a tempest god, or the survivor of a storm that should have ended you. Now, you carry the storm inside—and the world will feel its wrath.
A Scion of the Storm is someone whose very soul is touched by primal, elemental storm-force—a person who didn’t merely survive a storm, but was changed by it. They are the chosen, the marked, or the born-of-tempest. This could mean:
-
You were literally born during a supernatural storm, and it marked your destiny.
-
A storm spirit, tempest god, or elemental claimed you or blessed you as a child.
-
You survived a cataclysmic storm when others didn’t, leaving you touched by the storm's power.
-
You’re a descendant of elemental beings, or perhaps even a quasi-elemental yourself.
-
You are drawn to storms, feel most alive in them, and seem to channel their power unconsciously.
- Skill Proficiencies:
Nature, Arcana
- Tool Proficiencies:
Calligrapher’s supplies (you learned to inscribe storm-binding sigils and diagrams)
- Languages:
One of your choice (Primordial is common among those who speak to the storm)
You can influence minor weather patterns with your presence.
-
You can harmlessly shift winds, scatter clouds, stir mist, or cause the faint scent of ozone to linger.
-
When you're in stormy weather, you gain advantage on Intimidation and Perception checks.
-
Lightning and thunder are drawn to you—when rolling a natural 20 during a storm, faint thunder rumbles overhead. (Purely cosmetic… or is it?)
Suggested Characteristics
