Cursed Soul (3.5e Prestige Class)
Cursed Soul[edit]
| “ | I've come to the conclusion that I exist only to prove the apathy of the Gods. | ” |
| —Gazardiel, Aasimar cursed soul | ||
When a God grants a favored soul with great power, a certain dark energy is released into the world as well. Usually, this energy dissipates harmlessly, but on rare occasion the energy binds itself to a mortal soul. This mortal is given great power, but at the cost of a great evil within his being.
Becoming a Cursed Soul[edit]
No one ever chooses to become a Cursed Soul, but a cursed soul is not chosen either. Rather, a cursed soul is created purely by chance. A cursed soul's dark energy prevents it from becoming a cleric, favored soul, druid, or otherwise divine casting class, but otherwise cursed souls may come from any path of life. Those who pursue the cursed soul do so to wield powerful magic and demonic powers. This is a warrior/cleric subclass.

Class Features[edit]
All of the following are class features of the cursed soul.
Class Features: At every level except levels 5 and 10, you gain class features (including spellcasting ability) and an increase in effective level as if you had also gained a level in a class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain the benefit of your previous class’s Hit Dice, attack progression, skill points, or saving throws. If you had more than one class before becoming a cursed soul, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining class features. All exp will go into this class until finished.
Class Features: Gain a bonus feat at first level and every other level.
Spellcasting: A cursed soul casts divine spells, which are drawn from the cleric spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. To cast a spell, a cursed soul must have a Constitution score of 10 + the spell’s level (Con 10 for 0-level spells, Con 11 for 1st-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a cursed soul’s spell is 14 + the spell’s level + the cursed soul’s Constitution modifier. Like other spellcasters, a cursed soul can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Cursed Soul. In addition, he receives bonus spells for a high Constitution. Unlike a cleric, a cursed soul’s selection of spells is limited. A cursed soul begins play knowing five 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of your choice. At each new cursed soul level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Cursed Soul Spells Known. (Just like spells per day, his Constitution score does affect the number of spells a cursed soul knows; the numbers on Table 1–2 are not fixed.) A cursed Soul casts spells as an evil cleric, regardless of alignment.
Upon reaching 3rd level, you may cast any spell without using materials. However, you must pay the amount of gold equal to the material costs.

Bonus Domain: Upon adopting the cursed soul class, and again at 6th and 9th level, a cursed soul gains access to a 4 bonus domain of his choice. The cursed soul can choose any domain associated with the God who inadvertently gave him his powers. You may select a different domain if you surpass the number of domains the God possesses. The cursed soul gains the granted power associated with the domain he chooses and learns the spells in that domain. A cursed soul can cast domain spells regardless of alignment, as he does not learn these spells through a God's favor but possesses the powers innately.
Nightmares: A cursed soul is in inner torment, which manifests when he sleeps. A cursed soul is ridden with constant nightmares, and as such takes a -4 on checks to resist fatigue.
Dark Blessing: A cursed soul at level one gains one unique relic from the God who accidentally gave the cursed soul power. He may use it without any requirements, since he his bestowed this by the unintentionally power of the God. This counts as a True Believer feat and may use the items as he wishes. At 5th level you may choose to sacrifice a follower you gained to receive another relic, but you lose the benefit of Cursed companion for that follower. This relic however does not come from the god you inadvertently got your power from but from one god you believe in, if any. If you do not believe in a god then you gain nothing.
Animal Companion: A Cursed soul at second level gains an animal companion selected from the following list: badger, camel, dire rat, dog, riding dog, eagle, hawk, horse (light or heavy), owl, pony, snake (Small or Medium viper), or wolf. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the Cursed soul on her adventures as appropriate for its kind. If his intelligence his higher than 15 he may obtain a Darkness animal, they consist of shadows but have to be either a wolf or a hawk. They have the same stats but can be summoned at will or disappear into the cursed soul's Shadow at will. Unlike regular animal companions these do not take exp, they are set to level 5 when you obtain them. They do not grow with you over time. Thus any experience you gain is not shared with them.
Deadly Touch (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, a cursed soul can cause wounds with a successful touch attack. Each day he can deal a total number of hit points of damage equal to his Constitution bonus x (his cursed soul level + 2). An opponent subjected to this attack can make a Will save (DC 16 + cursed soul level + cursed soul’s Constitution modifier) to halve the damage dealt. Furthermore, whenever a cursed soul deals at least 20 damage with a single deadly touch, the target takes 1d8 per two cursed soul levels of strength damage.
Demonic Form (Su): Upon reaching 3rd level, a cursed soul gains a demonic form. The cursed soul can switch between this form and his standard form at will, though changing takes a full round action. The exact powers bestowed onto a cursed soul varies among individuals. A demonic form behaves exactly like the standard form, but with added abilities (and added physical changes) as determined by the chosen traits, add 6 traits from the list below. At 4th level, the cursed soul is also one size larger as well as an Aberration type, and a cursed soul selects one trait from the below list. He can then access the ability associated with that trait whenever in demonic form. He can pick a 2 new traits each following level. Once a cursed soul's traits are chosen, it cannot be changed.

Campaign Information[edit]
Playing a Cursed Soul[edit]
Combat: A cursed soul serves primarily as a combat spellcaster, using his magic to augment his demonic form. Because his powers can be problematic for those around him, the cursed soul works best with those who can protect themselves. The cursed soul may also serve by primarily boosting his teammates with his magic, or might perhaps take a summoning or necromancy route and serve to fill these roles. Cursed Souls cannot usually cast healing spells, but those with access to the healing domain can serve as a healer as well.
Advancement: Cursed Souls find themselves completely in terms of magic, and as such most advance as fighters or otherwise martial classes. Those who wish to repent for their dark nature may attempt to take levels in classes which allow them to augment their dark powers with less harmful ones. On rarest of occasions, a god may recognize his cursed soul creation and give them his blessing, allowing them to take levels in contemplative, boosting their domain powers and augmenting their demonic powers with holy ones.
Resources: The cursed soul is very much misunderstood by the world around him, and as such he will find little support from others, particularly divine casters. Among evil, a cursed soul might be hired and sent on tasks, but there is very little trust in such arrangements. The cursed soul gets along best with neutral characters, who more often do not concern themselves with good or evil.
Cursed Souls in the World[edit]
| “ | The Gods never expected me to be so powerful, never expected me to be at all. I will make them pay for their insolence. | ” |
Cursed Souls are generally found wandering the world, not entirely certain of what they search for. Most cursed souls simply wish to find a way to end their destined pains, though many admit this is very unlikely to happen. Cursed souls can often be seen wandering near holy lands and holy temples, perhaps wondering how they might be perceived by the gods. Certain evil cursed souls will often form a vendetta against the good aligned and perhaps the evil-aligned gods, tearing down temples and killing worshipers, and certain good cursed souls will be secretly working within the lands of their Gods, attempting to wash the bloodstains from their souls.
NPC Reactions: Most NPCs will look onto a cursed soul with terror, thinking they have come across a being of vile evil (which very well could be true.) Those who are themselves of vilest darkness might be more welcoming, though they themselves are confused by how the cursed soul seems to have dark powers as well as good powers (if their domains grant them) so innately.
Cursed Soul Lore[edit]
These people are misunderstood and thought to be harbingers of death and destruction. Those who know anything about them can tell you that this is a hit or miss. Some abuse this power and use it to destroy their enemies and others use this power to protect themselves. Many gods and beings have called these beings the false priests, and others call these beings heretics. What many know for a fact about these cursed soul's is the strength they emit and the danger they present. Beware and be cautious or befall the cursed soul's trap.
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (Religion) can research cursed souls to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.
| DC | Result |
|---|---|
| 11 | A cursed soul is a being who can control dark energy naturally. |
| 16 | A cursed soul's spirit is linked to the spirit of a god, allowing him to perform a wide array of magic. |
| 21 | The gods might be unaware of the cursed soul's existence. |
| 26 | Only death can ever separate a cursed soul from his dark energies. Cursed souls are destined for a life of eternal suffering. |
Cursed Souls in the Game[edit]
Cursed souls generally play the role of the misfit hero, a character who struggles with inner darkness. Cursed souls acting as villains will often be seen as the most extreme of evils, working to possess powers above the very gods that cursed them. Cursed souls possess great powers, and may be seen using those powers for either others or themselves, always to drastic results.
Adaptation: Cursed souls can be adapted to fit any world with favored souls. However, including a cursed soul forces some aspects commonly associated with the deities to change. The deities in this situation must be at least somewhat apathetic, and for one to be all-knowing completely nullifies the cursed soul's possibilities of entering the world. A cursed soul of an evil deity could quite possibly be made as well, by simply modifying the spell access to that of a good cleric, though demonic form would most likely remain the same.
Sample Encounter: Gazardiel had always wondered if there was something unholy about him. Though raised among aasimar, the paladin calling never came to him, and any attempt he had at casting divine magic fell flat. As he aged, Gazardiel compromised by taking up the mantle of the knight and worshiping the gods in spirit rather than in practice. However, all that changed upon meeting the favored soul of Pelor, a classmate only a few years his junior. Upon shaking his hand, Gazardiel felt an unusual feeling of hatred within himself, a strong unprecedented desire to tear at the man's throat. And the next day, Gazardiel found he had gained divine powers as his colleagues could, but with a terrorizing taint of evil. Terrified at this development, Gazardiel escaped from his homeland, his powers quickly growing greater beyond his will. He found himself haunted in the night, and what's more, found his mind filling with terrifying thoughts. And though for a long time he resisted, he eventually let himself break free, becoming a terror to all who crossed his path. Gazardiel still hopes to vanquish the darkness inside of him, but every day this seems less likely to be possible.
