Welcome to the Dark Side[edit]
Welcome to the Dark Side, apprentice. The Sith are an ancient order that seek power over all their enemies. Their rivals, the Jedi, seek a lie called Peace, which only brings weakness to a being of power. Always remember the ancient law of the Sith to keep the power the Dark Side has in store for its users. In this class, we explore the meaning of being a true servant of the Dark Side, letting anger and passion drive our hearts and desires. We gain strength through the Force and call upon it to increase our power. Follow the teachings, apprentice and you can obtain all the power in the galaxy!
Peace is a lie. There is only Passion.
Through Passion, I gain Strength.
Through Strength, I gain Power.
Through Power, I gain Victory.
Through Victory my chains are Broken.
The Force shall free me.

Remember, with each title comes great responsibility and a reputation to uphold.
The Sith Warrior[edit]
The Path of the Sith Warrior is an honorable choice. Warriors are skilled brutes of strength, focusing their skills on lightsaber combat rather than calling on the Force to decimate enemies. The skill of a lightsaber calls to you, by tactic and strength. The force abilities are strong, but not as reliable as the swinging of a crimson blade. Focus your rage on your enemies, and delight in their bloodshed. Call upon the Dark force to aid you, but use your raw strength to best your enemies in combat.

- True Lord of the Sith
At 20th level,
The Sith Sorcerer[edit]
The Path of the Sorcerer is a terrifying, yet satisfying path of destruction. Rather than focusing the skill of a lightsaber, Sorcerers draw their strength from the Dark Side of the Force and mysterious magics. Sorcerers are known for causing confusion, persuading and intimidating nobles, or decimating armies at their fingertips. The Path of the Sorcerer will drive you to understanding the Dark Side. You cannot return to the light from its darkness, because its power will keep you there. Your very presence is terrifying, and convincing.

If the target lives, they are knocked prone regardless of size and must use an action to get up. The body of the Sith is destroyed, however is in spectral form. He may regain his body only from the Wish Spell or saved a clone of himself previously.
The Sith Assassin[edit]
The Path of the Assassin is heart-striking to the foes. Sith Assassins are more subtle in bringing down their enemies. They can poison their enemies, slit their throats, or go as far as disguise themselves as different people to complete their missions. Sith Assassins can bring empires to their knees, call upon mystic magics to conceal their presence and strike horror into their enemies souls. Choosing this path will require fast hands stealth, and intimidating tricks.

Note about the True Lord of the Sith Title[edit]
There can only be one True Lord of the Sith. He is the master of all the Sith and draws from their power. If there is a Dark Lord in the world, he must be dethroned before that title can be placed on another Sith. If the spot is empty, you have the right to take it. If there is competition, they must fight to the death, only the true lord will be victorious. * You can have the benefits of lvl 20 if you desire, but will you be satisfied?
Force Abilities List[edit]
You know all of the spells on the basic Force spell list and additional spells based on your subclass.
NOTE: You cannot learn a force power without receiving the force points to use it. In other words, a Sith cannot use force destruction at level 2 due to his lack of force points. You may swap out all your force abilities once per level, or meditate long enough for a Force Ghost to help you relearn (Up to your DM's discretion)
