Harrowblade

In a Dark Alley, a Tiefling is cornered by a detachment of the local militia for her crimes. With eyes suddenly glowing white, she unsheathes an elegant, slender sword and jumps towards the two guards trying to arrest her, the witchfire laping the blade incinerating the poor fellows’ bodies while she adverts their blows with ease despite the plates of metal covering her body. In a courtroom full of nobles, assembled for a wedding, a human enters from a balcony, flying on wings of dark steel engraved with the fiendish names of its master. A wicked smile on his lips he challenges the groom to a duel, that he ends abruptly with a strike girded of hellflame, putting a gruesome end to the bride’s hopes. On a shore cradled by a sea turned golden by the setting sun, a trialed Dragonborn fumes of rage and hate towards his judge. Powered by his malice a spear appears in his hands, glowing from promises of untold power. A few seconds later, he is like a feral beast in the crowd, empaling all who dare stand before him.

All three of them are Harrowblades, warrior fighting with vile magics and malicious guise. A diverse class, their main trait is their ability to aid themselves in the fight using techniques, both magic and mundane usually viewed as vile or impious.

The art of the Malicious Blade

Harrowblades are all skilled with weapons, putting an emphasis on offensive stance, aimed at causing maximal damage to their foes but what differentiates them from a melee-oriented fighter or a particularly bold rogue is their use of magic. Contrary to most magic user, this does not directly takes the form of spells, the Harrowblades using it instead to upgrade their weapons or in displays of power akin to those of oath breakers paladins.
