Homebrew Severed Soul Species Details
As a Severed Soul you get a +2 to one stat and a +1 to another, 3 skill proficiencies, and 3 known languages, and have the inherent ability to exist in any plane of existence, except for the Material Plane. Forming a bond or slaying a foe in an outer plane will give you a fragment if you choose to take it. A fragment is a feature a monster or npc has. Only the one who lands a finishing blow can acquire a fragment, or, alternatively, if a bond is formed everyone can use the fragment of the creature they formed a bond with. While a stolen fragment from a kill lasts until you choose to forget it. A shared fragment is lost on the sharers death or if you choose to forget it. Severed Souls cannot form bonds with other severed souls. Fragments are features, for instance a climbing speed, a resistance, a ability. The DM can either choose what feature to give as an option, have the player choose from a list, or randomly decide with a die roll (Or other method).

Posted Oct 16, 2025Thanks for uploading this! I should add that the creature size is medium, with a speed of 30ft and is intended for use in Planescape. As I made it specifically for The Outlands.
Note: If you are using 2024 rules do not add the +2 to one and +1 to another, as you're background will already do that for you! (:
