Hellborn Shadow
“My ancestors gave much to learn the secrets of the Nine
Hells. Why shouldn’t I benefit from their sacrifice?”
Prerequisites: Tiefling, ranger
Although you’re a being of this world, you’re cursed
to carry the mark of an infernal pact made by your
mortal ancestors. The weight of that heritage rests
heavy on your soul. Yours has been the life of one
apart—a life marred by the prejudice of others and of
battle against foul creatures spawned from darkness.
You have long seen similar darkness within yourself,
hiding it to avoid the hate of bigots or revealing it
to evoke horror in your enemies. You have sought the
ancient secrets of your people. You have overcome
evil dreams and vile impulses to master your inner
nature. Finally, you have tapped sinister knowledge of
your immortal forebears to aid you in your quests.
It’s irrelevant whether you obtained these secrets
in catacombs once lost to the ravages of time, within
your own being, or from tormenting visions. The
point is that you’ve learned to unleash some of your
hidden potential by speaking words of power that few
mortals know. With the baleful utterances you have
learned, you can unleash pain, fire, and shadow. You
can transform yourself momentarily into a form like
that of your greatest ancestors and take to the air.
The darkness you have allowed to creep into your
being now colors your exploits. Your heroic acts and
your reputation, as well as those of your comrades,
are tainted by the devilish legacy you have willingly
tapped. The finale of your story will ultimately determine
if your end justified your means.
