[QUOTE="Mordmorgan the Mad, post: 1929755, member: 27199"] I'm trying to figure out the perfect class for Leyla. I found a (5 level) PrC in the Ravenloft book Champions of Darkness called Master of Curses. This definitely fits with how I see her (all except the 5th level ability which allows her to take a curse of another upon herself). One of the PrC's requirements includes having been previously cursed, or having cursed someone and later regretted it. I was pondering that first part, and I thought this might be a good twist: As a child she was unusually cruel to a young man who was quite taken with her. The man could not take her rejection, and killed himself that night. His mother cursed Leyla with a burning and desperate passion for a man with whom her love would never fully blossom or be accepted by her tribe. This curse may be part of the reason she's so possessive of the warlock, and the source of cursing power. It'd definitely be part of her undoing. What if the curse is broken when the Warlock truely does come to love her? Maybe she finds that she no longer has any feelings for him, but pretends to, just to destroy him. (I see her as very arrogant, and I think she'd feel low and dirty for having been intimate with a giorgio [non-gypsy]. It might be a strong enough feeling for her to destroy him in an attempt to restore her "honor") Anyhow, I'm thinking of making her a cleric (with no god) to qualify for the PrC. I'd like to give her the Knowledge domain (because she's one of her tribe's great seers), and she gets the Curse domain upon taking the 1st level of the PrC. Does anyone have any suggestions as to another good domain to take? EDIT: This is what I'm thinking of so far: PHB: Trickery PGtF: Fate -or- Time Of these, I think Fate might work best, but Trickery is very tempting. [/QUOTE]
