valkyrian
In times long past, the celestial warriors of Aegis formed a pact where they trained a select group of fighters in their airborne fighting style. Over time, this discipline evolved into a primal art, one that no longer drew upon divine wings but instead harnessed raw elemental forces through enchanted lance weapons.
Valkyrians fight with a singular purpose: to strike from above, to dive into the heart of battle, and to fell foes that ordinary warriors could never hope to challenge. What sets them apart is not merely skill with weapons, but the fusion of martial mastery with primal magic. Each leap, thrust, and strike is amplified by the power coursing through their weapon, a force some say is drawn from the very essence of draconic might, granting the Valkyrian superhuman speed, strength, and precision in the heat of combat.

Amplified Weapon

Forging a bond with a single weapon allows you to imbue it with a fraction of your power to aid you in your combat. This weapon must have the melee property and the Heavy trait, and you must be proficient with the weapon to be able to bond with it.
This amplified weapon is the focus of your Valkyrian abilities, any ability that states that you require the amplified weapon is unable to be used if you are not currently wielding the amplified weapon.
You can have only one amplified weapon at a time. Creating a new amplified weapon requires a long rest and an available weapon; the ritual binds your inner power to the weapon, granting it power that cannot be used by anyone else.
