Cursed (5e Class)

Cursed

Moving quickly and silent, a pallid man moves through the empty streets and rooftops of the city engulfed in the dark. Hunting a drunkards and solitary wanderers that walk trough the night, unaware to the dangers that lurk in every corner. With a grin in his face and crisped hands, he pounces from the shadows on top of his pray, a solitary drunk man that had just left a tavern. In a blink of an eye, both disappear, letting behind a single drip of blood.

After being hit by dozens of arrows and sword strikes, a burly half-orc dressed in rags and with a broken wooden mask slowly stalk the soul survivor of a band of mercenaries camping in the woods. The terrified soldier brandish its sword in despair, piercing its chest. He stops for a second, than grabs the blade of the sword, bringing the astonished soldier close enough to be strike'd by his axe.

Running under the moonlight, the young half-elf tries to resist its curse, while contorting in pain from its bones and flesh breaking and reshaping to assume the hybrid form. His clothes tear apart, revealing thick and dark fur, and what was once a delicate and pretty face, now gives place to the horrific wolf-like abomination, thirsty for blood and rampage.

Stalking on the shadows and hidden on haunted places, present in stories told under the campfire light to terrify and advice about the horrors of the world, the cursed is a ever felt presence, a justification for the natural fear of the dark and unknown.

Embodiment of Fear

Monsters and boogeymen, the cursed is the archetype of the fallen member of any myth or legend, representing the fear of losing humanity. Cursed are often those who have broken some inviolable rule, a taboo, and thus are punished by some form of monstrous transformation, the sin committed by them becoming apparent, turning them into a living advice against breaking sacred rules. They are a supernatural embodiment of fear, the fear of some punishment from a high power due to some transgression.

Curses can be imposed by many reasons: some become cursed by transgression, such a human making a deal with a a demon in exchange for power, and becoming a fiend himself, losing the celestial grace; others, become cursed by fear, like a creature who willingly let himself become a vampire to avoid face its own mortality, losing its soul in the process; and others, by fate, like a man bitten by a werewolf, becoming himself a monster.

There are lots of ways of becoming cursed, and curses manifest themselves in lots of different manners. Once a creature become cursed, it will often embrace this new condition, and start to rejoice in the fear they are able to exude.

Thanks to this curse, cursed creatures can channel the profane energy that have damned them to control magical spells and abilities.

Haunted Locations

Some cursed creatures will reside and wander trough any locations they use to inhabit before the curse. But, most of the times, they will be encountered in haunted places, that are usually related to some aspect of their curse. Sometimes, they are bound to the place by magical forces or just by personal attachment, while others willingly inhabit and search for these places as a way to understand better the nature of their own affliction.

Creating a Cursed

Consider the origin of your curse. Did you have a master, that have place the curse upon you and taught you how to use the powers of darkness, or did you have been cursed by some sin or transgression you've committed? Regardless of the origin, most cursed wander the world in disguise, trying to avoid being noticed, adventuring either to spread their corruption or to find a cure or redemption.
