Cursed: 5E24 Class

Hiding in the alleyway shadows, the sickly dwarf does her best to remain hidden from thugs looking for an easy score. Realizing she’s been spotted, the dwarf stands and throws her cloak to the side, revealing runic markings branded on her skin. To the thug’s horror, the dwarf violently shifts into a demonic creature with leathery wings and jagged fangs, ready to immolate her would-be attackers in hellfire. Using a disguise kit to hide his rotting flesh, the human cursed with graveborn makes his way into town, hoping to speak with an apothecary. In an instant, the town is besieged by gnoll marauders who easily overpower the part-time militia. Sensing his life is in danger, the human transforms, revealing his curse and becoming a large undead abomination with puss-covered knuckles and a ravenous hunger. As the gnolls approach, the human embraces his torment as his muscles expand, breaking old stitching and exposing decaying sinew.

Risk and Reward

The source of the Cursed power comes from the very thing that threatens to destroy it. As you transform into a vile creation and customize it with unique monstrous mutations, remember the curse that provides your "gift" also burns your soul. Power is not free, and the torment you willingly choose to inflict on yourself to enhance your transformation could lead to your demise. Do the ends justify the means? Only you can decide.
