Outlandish Adventure Productions presents:

The Accursed, a halfcaster class that has taken control of the curse that ailed it! At some point in their past, each accursed was afflicted with a permanent curse designed to make them endlessly suffer. Not content with accepting their fate, the accursed found a way to bring the curse under their control, utilizing its magic while mitigating the worst of its effects. They can use their Jinx feature to imbue other creatures with a small amount of curse energy with a touch, and use their Curse Control to Suppress their curse’s ailments or Afflict other creatures with them temporarily.

Accurseds are defined by their Accursed Affliction, the curse that they made their own, and by their choice of curse ability, the ability score – Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma – that they used to bring their curse to heel. Each affliction has its own method of approaching exploration and combat and its own list of curse spells tied to the magic of that curse, as well as lingering ailments that add some complication to its bearer's every day life!

Accursed Afflictions

Curse of Lycanthropy – You were afflicted with the curse that turns civilized humanoids into ravenous beasts. Upon conquering it, however, you realized that its true nature is the ability to transform into mammalian shapes, which you use to enhance your senses and gain a natural weapon.

Curse of Misfortune – You were afflicted with extreme chronic unluck, but have since realized that the magic simply alters probability. You use this newfound ability to cheat fate, and turn the tide of luck in your favor.

Curse of Possession – You were afflicted with possession by a spirit that refuses to pass on. After regaining control of your body, you made a deal with the spirit to share your flesh, working together to accomplish both of your goals.

Curse of the Armament – You were afflicted with attunement to a cursed weapon. You’ve learned to make use of the weapon’s unique properties, using its attachment to you to your advantage.

Curse of Vampirism – You were afflicted with being turned into a vampire. You’ve since restored yourself to a form of life that isn’t exactly undeath, and can still feel the vampiric power and thirst within you.

The Accursed Class also comes with 16 completely original spells usable by accurseds and a number of other classes, but especially Warlock!

We hope you love being cursed as much as we and our players do! We’d love to hear your feedback, so please send us any questions or comments you have. Also, if you perceive any balance issues, please let us know and we will address them as quickly as we can.
