Kala Kal'kanis for 5e

AsgardianMetal

So, here we have Kala Kal'kanis remade for 5e.  I have made her an eldritch knight, the closest thing to a sword mage I could find.  It is pretty close.  I have chosen to make whirling blade spell for 5e.  I had to come up with stats for Skast, a fey panther that follows her around.  The biggest problem I had in converting Kala was her vampiric nature.  In 4e, she had taken vampiric heritage.  I have got her bite and the rest is the all roleplaying.  Here I have her all ready for playing!

Kala Kal’kanis

Drow/vampire female, fighter (eldritch knight) level 8

Background: Noble (position of privilege)

Personality: confused between freedom and loyalty.  She wants to be free, but is consumed by her loyalty to her family and her wanting none of that.

Ideal: family.

Bond: nothing is more important that the other members of my family.

Flaw: I hide a scandalous secret that can ruin my family forever.  Her vampire heritage and her love for Itami.
