The Malefactor

_Original Concept by_ Brian Berg

_Written by_ James Olchak, Brian Berg and Rick Cox.

_” Fate is for those too weak to determine their own destiny.”_
\- Exerpts from the memoir of Talitha Shadowtongue, Tiefling Doom Herald

_Damned fate … cruelest destiny… bad luck… these are philosophical concepts
that many know, but few are able to truly explain or prove. If destiny is pre-
determined, inevitable and unchangeable, is there any hope for we mortals to
set our own paths? What of those that seem to be damned by fate, always at the
mercy of a higher power? Is there any hope for us at all?

It is rumored that some mortals can choose their own fate by selecting the
correct paths as they walk through life. Others think that all of life’s
events are predestined. There are rumors of those who understand fate’s cruel
whims and can free themselves and no longer be slaves to that harsh mistress.
I can tell you those rumors are true…

I have lived through perils that would kill even the most steeled warriors. I
have slain many a fool that thought to prey upon me. I have danced with fate
itself, and taken the lead. What was once my misery is now my salvation, and
your damnation. I am an accursed, a doomgiver — I am a Malefactor._
## CLASS DESCRIPTION

Some children begin life cruelly afflicted. Soon after birth, they and their
families are beset by random misfortune, injury, and loss. Frequently they are
abandoned by their communities for being born under an inauspicious sign, or
sacrificed to allay curses seemingly brought down by dark Gods. In reality,
the birth of these unfortunates was attended by intangible chaos-spirits known
as Yla (EE-la). While the Yla are not inherently evil, they are prone to
destruction, and ignorant of the pain and misfortune that they cause those
whom they bond with. Sages do not know what causes the Yla to seek out an
individual, but as of yet, no known spell or prayer can separate them from
their chosen. Many afflicted by these spirits live lives of sorrowful
destitution, sometimes taking their own lives in misery.

A choice few however, realize that while their affliction cannot be
suppressed, it can be commanded. Whether through study or epiphany, these few
learn to channel and command the devious spirits that surround them, turning
their hardship into a powerful weapon. These few are known collectively as the
Malefactori.

In order to preserve their own lives, they willingly bring misfortune and woe
to those around them. They are dangerous to their allies and even more so to
their adversaries. A Malefactor that has mastered the ability to transfer his
own ill fate to others is truly a dangerous opponent…

This sourcebook comes complete with a killer new class and abilities,
archetypes, feats, favored class options and the complete stats for the iconic
succubus spawned tiefling on the cover — Talitha Shadowtongue. Enjoy!
