Godseer (3.5e Class)/Visions
Contents
Vision
The one common things that bind all Godseers together is the vision they receive from the divine. The Godseer do not serve a deity, instead they draw their divine power and inspiration from their vision, drawing upon all the Divines instead of serving a single God. The act of creating a Godseer require a Vision, and many are left scarred or traumatized by it. The Godseer's destiny is however bound to their vision in a way or another. Once a vision is chosen it cannot be changed, it become a definitive part of the Godseer's powers.
Death
| “ | From dust to dust, then blown by the wind into oblivion. | ” |
The Godseer received a vision of death, her own, that of a loved one or perhaps the death of an entire nation. This vision can be literal or figurative, perhaps symbolizing change in it most benign form. The Gods seldom tend to show vision of death, as they are frightening and often confusing. The Death Vision grant the Godseer ability which allow her to play with life and death, as well as offensive abilities.
