Death Delver - General Prestige Class
This is a general Prestige class that may be applicable to the Forgotten Realms Campaign
The mystery of death and dying is one that occupies the attention of almost every race, regardless of that race's behaviors or beliefs. The death delver is that rare individual who, rather than fearing and avoiding death, delves as deeply into its mysteries as he can, to better understand and eventually gain some small power over it. Unlike necromancers and other classes associated with death magic, the focus of a death delver's studies - or, more accurately, his journey - is much more deeply personal. Rather than concentrating on using death and death magic to affect the outside world, a death delver seeks to attune himself to the ebb and flow of death itself, and thereby draw strength from his understanding and indomitable courage in the face of it.
