Black Rock Stalker (3.5e Prestige Class)

Black Rock Stalker

A black rock stalker is a hunter of people. For their entire lives, they have been the victims of a curse that causes the sorrow of others around them to be passed on to themselves. The more sadness they feel, the stronger the power of the curse becomes. When the subject has felt enough of this pain, they become nearly devoid of any emotion, and with powerful enhancements from the power of the curse, seek too hunt down all those who cause sorrow. As they advance, they become more and more detached from humanity, both physically and mentally, and their bodies become more resilient and inhuman.
