[edit] Class Features

This Class heavily relies on power of the Cursed Realm and connections with it. There is also is a huge majority of uncontrollable power evident as characters level, making it a good idea for his allies to stay behind him and have a cleric heal him. Fear is a large factor that is instilled wherever he goes. Mages fear the most, citizens too, but he angers leaders because they do not like the presence of a powerful menace. Leaders of cities will take one of two actions 1. They arrest him as soon as they are aware of his presence 2. They take a point in avoiding him and making sure he doesn't get angry
