Valkyrie Character Class

This is a new NPC class in the OSR Book of Valkyries. It is designed for demi-goddesses, so a bit overpowered compared to a regular character class.

Valkyrie

Prime Attribute: Wisdom, 13+ (+5% XP).
Attribute Requirement: 17+ Charisma
Hit Dice: 1d10.
Starting Hit points: 10 (1d10).
Armor/Shield Permitted: Any.
Weapons Permitted:  Any.
Alignment: Any but Evil.

A Valkyrie is chosen by Odin. Only a virgin human woman is given this honor. In rare circumstances Odin may choose a female duergar (dwarf), an elf, or even a Jotun. She is empowered by the All-Father with certain gifts and responsibilities. 

If a Valkyrie is slain while performing her duties she is resurrected and fully recovered in Valhalla the next day.

Valkyrie Statistics

Bifrost Travel: At will the Valkyrie can instantly travel the Bifrost rainbow bridge from any place on Midgard to Asgard and back. She can carry one person with her.

Spells: At 2nd level the Valkyrie is given a draught from the Mead of Poetry, wherein she gains the power to learn Seidr up to the 4th circle (level). She may choose from the Magic-User list.

Unseen: The Valkyrie is effectively invisible to mortals unless she chooses to be seen. She can be detected by means of seeing the invisible such as a Ring of True Sight or See Invisibility spells.

Swan Suit: At 3rd level she is given her Swan Suit that allows her to transform into a swan at will. Some Valkyries may be given a hawk or raven suit instead.

Helm of Truesight: At 4th level she is given a helmet that has the power of truesight.

Horn of Calling: At 5th level she is given a horn that will allow her to call other Valkyries, Einherjar, or Sturmwolves to her aid.

Winged Horse: The 6th level Valkyrie is given a winged horse from Valhalla’s stables personally by Odin.

Extraordinary Beauty: The Valkyrie gains +5 to Charisma.

Fylgur: At 8th level Odin may give a Valkyrie a personal spirit companion (see below).

Personal Hero: At 9th level the Valkyrie gets a personal hero she is responsible for, but who will also do anything for her up to and including giving his life. If she falls in love and marries him she loses her status and abilities as a Valkyrie and becomes, once again, a mortal woman.

Fylgja 

A fylgja, meaning "follower," is a magical spiritual companion typically appearing as a small animal (such as a fox, squirrel, or raven) that is usually visible only to the person it accompanies, in this case, a Valkyrie. However, the fylgja or the Valkyrie can choose to make it visible to others. By focusing, the Valkyrie can perceive through the fylgja's senses, including sight, hearing, and smell. If the fylgja is injured, the Valkyrie will feel its pain but may not necessarily suffer any physical harm. The fylgja's personality mirrors that of its Valkyrie.

Each fylgja possesses the standard characteristics of its animal type along with one of the following abilities:

1. Aura of fear - Projects an intimidating presence to ward off adversaries.
2. Protection from Evil - Shields the Valkyrie from malicious forces or beings.
3. Purify food and water - Removes impurities and contaminants from sustenance.
4. Cure disease - Heals the afflicted of various ailments.
5. Cure light wounds - Mends minor injuries.
6. Precipitation - Manipulates weather to cause rainfall.
7. Gust of wind - Generates a strong gust to repel or disperse objects or creatures.
8. Remove poison - Neutralizes harmful toxins in a person or object.
