[edit] Bringer Of Darkness

All of the following are class features of the Bringer Of Darkness.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Martial weapons and light armor, no shields

Destiny: A Bringer Of Darkness treats his new found power as a curse, gift, or even a tool. He takes a vow on to how he'll use this power. This is necessary in order to level as the class. This may not be changed unless he breaks it, then he may take a new one, usually due to a life changing fact.

Shadow Wisps: The source of a Bringer Of Darkness's power comes from dark beings called shadow wisps. This wisps exist with the Bringer Of Darkness, forming themselves to him. As the Bringer Of Darkness grows in levels, more wisps form to him increasing his power. He may manipulate these wisps to enhance himself beyond normal bounds. Each wisp has a power of +1/+5, which can be applied to many abilities. The first number, to attacks, damage, ac, skills, saves, ect. The second is more limited. This only can go to speed and health, as well as a few special abilities. Multiple wisps may stack, but each can only enhance one ability at a time (ex. 3 wisps on attack for +3, 2 on ac for +2, and 2 on speed for +10). The Bringer Of Darkness may also use his wisps for other purposes, forming wings, ect. Talk to your DM to see how these can be used. Examples are summons, teleporting, shields, structures, ect. A Bringer Of Darkness gains 1 wisp per level. He may activate a wisp any time in a round to gain its bonus, but may deactivate them at the end of each round, and then may be reactivated for different purposes the following round.

[edit] Bringer of Darkness' in the World

This section needs a more complete description. For more information please look here
“ Out of the night I call to thee,

Making whispers form from trees.

Darkness swallows whole thine fears,

Biding one to venture here.

Safe they think are we from One,

But only in daylight sun.

For when shadows come in fright,

I come in with the moon lit night.

So go now and rest with ease,

Out of the night I call to thee.

”
—Valdur Crow, Human Bringer of Darkness
