Homebrew Demon Weapon Species Details

With ever-changing appearances, demon weapons change into a weapon and can work alongside a Meister. Each demon weapon has a transformation randomly given to them at birth. For demon weapons they only have their initial weapon transformation but can evolve into a stronger form through soul resonance.

Demon weapons have been around for a long time but haven't always worked alongside humans until Death stepped in and intervened and ended any problems and united both humans and death weapons.

In their human form they can do all the regular things humans can do but a select few can-do soul wavelength techniques due to that being a Meister's specialty. Some demon weapons can have hybrid forms which will form a partial form of their weapons. In their full weapon form demon weapons can be wielded by those with the same wavelength as them or those who have good wavelength control.

Demon weapons have an ascension form only when they consume 99 evil souls and one witch soul, they then become a Death Scythe which is an honor bestowed upon them and allows for them to be wielded by Death himself.

Creating Your Character

At 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.

Weapon Form

You have a weapon form you are born with that you take on for the rest of your life. In your weapon form you deal 2x the normal damage of that weapon. You also can perform a soul resonance with your Meister which will evolve you based on the level used.

Height and Weight

Player characters, regardless of race, typically fall into the same ranges of height and weight that humans have in our world. If you’d like to determine your character’s height or weight randomly, consult the Random Height and Weight table in the Player’s Handbook, and choose the row in the table that best represents the build you imagine for your character.

Demon Weapon Traits

As a Demon Weapon, you have the following racial traits.

Compatibility

Your wavelength isn't something that can just be matched by anyone and whoever can't match it can't pick you up with their own hands.

If you develop a bond with someone then they can pick you up without needing to match wavelengths, but they can't draw out your power.

Size

You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race.

Speed

Your walking speed is 30 feet.

Weapon Morph

As an action, you can change your appearance. You become the weapon you selected. You can't become any other weapon. Your clothing and equipment aren’t changed by this trait, but they instead disappear until you become human again.

You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die.
