BoneBlade (5e Class)

Creating a BoneBlade

The Boneblade is a warrior who has forsaken the confines of flesh, manipulating and shaping his own bones into weapons, armor, and tools of destruction or survival. His body is malleable, adaptable, and lethal, a living weapon made of marrow, calcium, and sheer willpower. Unlike spellcasters who wield arcane magic or clerics who channel deities, this warrior taps into a visceral, primal power: the biomechanics of his own body. His bones grow, protrude, harden, and shape themselves at the command of his mind. Where other warriors need shields, he erects plates of bone. Where they would need swords, he creates serrated blades from his own ribs. When wounded, his body reforms itself, regenerating flesh, marrow, and life. This is a class that represents absolute self-sufficiency, an immortal predator who relies on no external tools. His very existence is his own weapon.
