Storykin Eidolon

STORYKIN EIDOLON

Dream Eidolon

Your eidolon comes from the Harrowed Realm, a demiplane where stories come to life. When you gain your storykin eidolon, either select or draw a harrow card; your eidolon resembles a shifting mass of cards which creates a vague, living form. The cards themselves have an appearance unique to you; the illustrations may be scratchy or refined, the colours could be a somber palette or a splatter of rainbow colours, and the mass of cards itself could be a person, a beast or something stranger. However it turns out, your storykin’s appearance is always a doorway into your dreams, whether it is obvious or not.

Draw Arcanum

Your eidolon’s form shifts drastically when combat begins. When you Manifest Eidolon, you draw a harrow card as part of using the action to manifest it. Your eidolon’s appearance changes to resemble a creature from the cards, both in demeanor and appearance. For example, the Raakshasa would make your eidolon a conniving, crocodile-headed gentleman, the Paladin would make them a righteous crusader, or the Rabbit Prince a mischievous hare with a broken sword. If your card belongs to the good alignment, it gains the holy trait; if it belongs to the evil alignment, it gains the unholy trait. Your eidolon gains the following primary Strike and the designated ability scores depending on the associated harrow card. Your eidolon is proficient in two skills, on appropriate for the card skill that matches its ability score of the card you drew and one skill appropriate for the card you drew (such as Deception for the Fiend). If you drew a Shield, your eidolon’s skills are Survival and one skill appropriate for the card you drew. Your eidolon gains the Back In the Deck reaction.

Hammer (Str) Your eidolon's primary Strike must by 1d8 with the shove or trip traits.

Key (Dex) Your eidolon's primary Strike is 1d6 with the deadly d8 and finesse traits.
