Vessel
\pagebreak ## Vessel ## ___ A half-orc wanders further into the cave, stepping over the bones of adventurers who fell to the poison traps from before. He walks deeper into the cavern, and holds his torch out in front of him, illuminating the form of a massive chained beast. He hears a voice in his head "What is it that you seek, lone wanderer?" ### The Lust For Power ___ Most vessels have taken this "blessing" in order to become stronger. Within this search for power they have gained an unnatural addition to their body, and their soul. ### Creating A Vessel ___ When creating a vessel you should think about the way that the vessel meets their entity and how their entity made a deal with them, whether the vessel was willing or forced may also be an important detail. ### Quick Build ___ You can quickly create a vessel by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by strength or dexterity. \columnbreak
