Homebrew Emiilae Species Details

An Emiilae is regularly a warrior who has died but some force decided to bring that warrior back as a race that was perfect for battle. originally created as mindless soldiers by the god of revenge, the Emiilae have evolved and reached intelligence and have since moved away from the traditions of old but most still worship their creator and celebrate him as their creator.

Emiilae are born through various means, the two most common are through regular mating rituals and through more nefarious means. the only time when an emiilae is a baby or child or age naturally (to 25 years of age) is when they are born through normal mating rituals, otherwise they are the same age they were in life with no memory.

An Emiilae is always born into existence with an object or something that relates to them. this could be a weapon, piece of jewellery, item or even a creature or animal in rare cases.

An Emiilae is technically a half-spirit that can alternate between a solid and spirit body.

Emiilae Traits

ghost stuff boooo

possession via weapon

when someone wields your soul-bound weapon without your permission you can take the chance to take control of their body, because you and your weapon are bound together until one of you dies. when you have taken control of someone's body they may be able to make a constitution saving throw with disadvantage 3 times every day or between long rests, the original body owner can make a constitution saving throw with advantage when in a long rest. you can stop possession at any time

incorporeal

being incorporeal physical attacks don't do as much damage as they would, for a being that can only cast physical form when wielding their soul-bound weapon and can only attack with their bound weapon (unless using magic)
