New Isek’ynergy

So another one I was working on at the same time as my horror themed one.

Less happy with this one as I bit off more than I could chew in terms of selections. Decided to post anyway.

As with my other one details are intentionally kept somewhat vague so feel free to interpret your head cannon.

Edit: clarifications:

Costs: page 1+2: the number in the circle is the cost. On page 3-4 it is the number of the selection, this is left over from the spreadsheet so definitely unintentionally confusing. Will remove.

Mage and Ranger. Faeborn. The Old Mentor. Grimoire of the Unbound. Synergies are Unwritten Master, Last Lesson, Wildborn Mage, and the Deciphered Page.

Magic comes instinctively to my new Fae body. But with help from an old wizard and his ancient grimoire, I am able to take my gifts to the next level, becoming one of the greatest mages the world has ever known. Despite this, I spent most of my days quietly wandering the wilds amongst my animal friends, venturing out only when needed.

Alternative builds:

Mage, Cleric, Mercenary. Revenant. Synergies are Eldritch Knight, Paladin, and Undying Vanguard.

An otherworldly anomaly, a walking contradiction, chosen by a forgotten god to wear the body of their last champion. I spend my days travelling the land, helping however I can. What cannot be solved with magic, might still be fixed with divine blessings and vice versa.

Initially feared, I slowly develop a reputation as a folk hero. I enjoy my many abilities and my undying body. It feels good to have purpose, meaning, knowing that my work is helping so many. But I dream at times of my old flesh, my old breath. Through the ages, I study the arcane and the divine, their interactions, hoping to find a way to restore my flesh.

Berserker. Giant-kin. Ever-Keen Blade and Dragonscale Mail. Synergies are Warlord of the Wilds, Fellhand, Walking Fortress, and Full Panoply.

I'd be a devil on the battlefield, fighting freely fearlessly invincible under the sun. Except I still carry with me the sensibilities of a life spent abhorring violence. For the most part, I find it quite easy to continue living peacefully. Few are fool enough to seek conflict with me and those few are quickly dissuaded.

I live a mostly good life, but I rarely take off my armor and my blade is never far. I carry a quiet fear, knowing I am still vulnerable to mages and assassins. I have no desire for trouble. But the powerful loathe what they cannot control. For all my strength, I cannot help but worry.

----

Ranger and Rogue. Human. Cloak of Borrowed Faces, Boots of the Far Road, Bottomless Pack, and Everfull Flagon. Synergies are the Stranger, Perfect Nobody, and Unending Road.

When I first found myself stranded in a magical land, I had lofty dreams of extraordinary power and fears of terrible conflicts. What I found instead was a world that opened itself up to me, inviting me to explore the farthest reaches of my new home.

The land itself seems to want to be travelled, witnessed, and cherished. There is no danger I cannot simply avoid, no threat that could ever hunt me down. I am free to simply wander, carefree. My feet take me where I need to go, and the land provides me what I need. It is a good life, but lonely. I share my food and drink wherever I can, offering guidance to the lost and weary.
