Homebrew Eidolon Species Details
Eidolons are souls drawn back from the Sea of Souls by a powerful, unfinished purpose. Shaped from dense, opaque ectoplasm, they appear as ghostly replicas of their mortal selves, preserved in haunting detail. Eidolons retain memories and emotions from their mortal lives, but their struggle to find a place in the world stems from their tether to the Material Plane and the time passed between their death and return. Neither fully alive nor truly dead, they are tangible echoes of their past, bound by forces even the gods can't fully explain
