Maledictor
Maledictor
A dragonwrought clutching a vicious battleaxe waves a hand, the charging orc marauder staggers as lethargy overtakes him. A silver filigree collar forms around his neck, glowing as the dragonwrought swings his axe, cleaving the orc's skull in twain.
Clad in black armor, the goblin chants under her breath, forming a glowing purple sigil on her chest. Strength increases, reflexes heighten. The goblin cackles and she wades into the fray, cutting down bandits one by one.
The massive red dragon lands with grace as it taunts the elf before it. The elf traces a fiery insignia in the air and it appears over the dragon's heart. With a flash, the red dragon is engulfed in flames, shrieking in surprise at the effectiveness of the fire.
A dwarf slides behind cover and looks over the body of his fallen human comrade, a radiant halo surrounding his head. He places a hand on the dead body and the halo explodes, jolting the human back to life. As the human sits up, the dwarf chants a spell reinvigorating his ally.
In the shadows of the tavern, a gnoll looks on as a fight breaks out, her hobgoblin target among them. With a whisper a wispy aura surrounds the hobgoblin and she siphons off knowledge of his capabilities while he faces off against the drunkards at the bar.
With a mighty roar the goliath raises his hands to the air and a pillar of intricately stacked skulls bursts forth from the ground. The charging goblins around the skull totem fumble and fall as the goliath charges at them.
Maledictors hybridize the art of casting spells with the ferocity of melee combat. Most of these powerful warriors began their career as fighters that discovered their magical talents later in life, while others who were adept at spellcraft found that a sword fit their hand just as well.
Because of their martial nature, maledictors prefer more of a utility aspect to their magic, choosing to disorient the enemy with spells and then handle them with physical weapons.
The maledictor's brand is a special curse learned from their arcane training. This curse is their legacy and it is one that they will expand to fit their needs for as long as they draw breath. The brand itself can only be physically seen by the maledictor and those they wish to reveal it to, but its effects on those it curses are far more real than some simple illusion.
The curse itself causes various physical debilitations depending on how the maledictor has shaped it over the years, and its power grows stronger with the maledictor. Unlike most spells, the maledictor's curse is malleable allowing them to fit into the role the wish to play on the battlefield.
