Night Mask Deathbringer - Faerun Prestige Class

This is a Forgotten Realms Exclusive Class

The deathbringers are the phantoms of Westgate, able to walk among mortal men during the light of day but possessed of some of undeath's most ghastly powers. They are not truly undead beings, but hybrids bred to go where the masters of the Night Masks cannot tread. As a deathbringer, you stalk the shadows of Westgate and beyond in search of ways to empower yourself and your guild. You have tasted the kiss of death, and the fear it brought you never quite leaves the back of your mind.

Night Mask deathbringers are highly trained members of the Westgate thieves' guild who have caught the favorable attention of the vampires in charge of the organization. They undergo a gruesome ceremony involving the drinking of their own blood from the veins of a vampire lord, which changes them into monsters capable of the most vile and depraved acts. Rogues have the easiest time qualifying for this prestige class; other classes generally must stray from their primary training to achieve the necessary requirements. Dexterity (for stealth), Wisdom (for perception), and Charisma (for more powerful special abilities) are key abilities for a Night Mask deathbringer.
