Husk
Encircled by the rival tribe members, the orc man grins as his ruby tusk emits a glaring red light. He watches as several of the enemy warriors ignite and scream as they burn.
A thin human man charges towards the rampaging troll, tossing his cloak to the side. As he drinks his elixir, his form grotesquely changes, meeting the troll eye to eye.
Racing over rooftops, a drow women projects tendrils from her body to shoot her across the great distances between the buildings
Husks, despite the differences of their origin, are defined by their connection to their respective symbiotes. Bestowed by the objects of their origin, husk’s power comes from the mastery of their symbiotes power, enveloping it into a cocoon of energy called that cowl
A Life Commitment
Husks are not people who have trained or studied for this power, it was forced upon them. Regardless of their origin, the husks fate is altered forever by a single moment in their life, the moment they allowed the symbiote to bond with them. This bond is not like the pact of a warlock or the devotion of a cleric, it is a bond of survival and necessity formed for selfish reasons.
The symbiote can take on many forms, such as: a gem, a bone, a trinket, a liquid, another creature, or really anything you can think of. Regardless though, this symbiote has now become a part of you and you a part of it.
The Shedding
Some creatures are known to go through periods of growth and change, as they slowly develop over time. The husk recognize such a metamorphic event in their own lives. Some have their skin become like dry, cracked earth, while others have given accounts of feeling like something was crawling just beneath the surface of their skin. These are the first signs of a husk beginning their own unique metamorphosis commonly referred to as "the shedding".
Creating a Husk
As you create your husk character, spend some time and consider how you and the symbiote might have meet. Were you the victim of a horrible magical anomaly that maimed you and in the rush to heal you, the cleric attached a limb of a near dead creature to save your life? Or possibly were you a merchant who was sold a magnificent gem harvested in the elemental plane of earth, only to have it bury itself inside of your flesh as you examined it closely?
Speak with your DM to come up with an idea of how important your symbiote may be to the campaign or what role it may fill in the world. This could be as simple as very minor importance outside of your connection to it, but may possibly gain interest by certain individuals who wish to study or replicate the results you've achieved.
Does the object have the possibility of being sentient later on down the road as you grow a deeper connection to the symbiote? If so, does it have a goal?
Quick Build
You can make a Husk quickly by following these suggestions. First, put your highest ability score in Constitution, followed by either Strength or Dexterity. Second, choose the far traveler background.
