Genesis

Typically those who wield paths of blades or arrows look to others to find strength and family, means to increase their own capabilities as soldiers and warriors. Whether it be the way they handle their bowstrings or posture they blades, mastery over such feats take the backing of others in order to see it's true potential, as without a guide there would be no path to walk.

However, there are those who did not believe in such a fate, those who would not walk the path of swords arrows are many of those around them do. They were more then just a warrior, but something more. Deep within them, they could feel something burning, a piece of themselves ready to bloom but without the water to sprout the seed. The path they would seek out to bloom the pain in their soul to crush many, and leave even more defeated. Those who fought what made them ready to accept this fate, this different path would display what they discovered firsthand. A genesis of power buried within themselves not real or fake, but a manifestation of their motivations and desires...in physical form.

This archetype focuses on the ability to manifest one's own inner strength through the creation of an Object of Power. An Object of Power is a manifestation of something which you have a deep connection with, or belief of which allows it to take form. They often come in the forms of religious power manifestations, amulets, jewelry, and more. Each Object of Power is unique to it's owner, so no two Genesis are the same.

If you believe you have he strength and willpower to bloom the genesis within your soul, that success comes from fully manifesting one's self, then allow yourself to display that power...and strike out against anything that stands in your path.

Genesis Creation

At 3rd level, you can use a bonus action to magically manifest your genesis around yourself. Your genesis stays within 5ft of your body, and has the capability to levitate if desired.

The genesis has the option to be corporal or not and weight up to 20lbs, along with being used as a improvised weapon and handled if applicable to it's design. Should it be damaged, it will injure you as well.

Upon manifestation, the genesis provides you with temporary hit points equal to a roll of your hit die + your Constitution modifier + your Proficiency modifier, provided you don't already have temporary hit points from a previous source.
