Cagot

To be blunt: You're hated.

Your only crime, however, is that your family name became included in a rhyming song meant to remind the people that you and yours are meant to be shunned. How'd your family name get on the list? Who knows, it was centuries ago. Since then, though, your kind as been outed from the community: forced to live in separate towns; unable to walk barefoot along roads; not even allowed to take religious services with the general public. Any attempt to do so, on your part, will be quick removal of the offending body part.

Almost as if you're some sort of curse bearing monster.

Oh, right.

the Cagot

So, your only OTHER crime is being the embodiment of what these people fear. It is highly likely that someone in your ancestry had these abilities, and got your family added to the list. Not all Cagots have these abilities, but all that have them are Cagots.

Any Wizard Sight or magical sensing used against you shows you as a creature of corruption. Even if you're a philanthropist, who's given your vast treasure to orphans. Though, no one is likely to take any money from your filthy hands. Animals Hate you and will instinctively avoid you.

Special requirement: Charisma must be 9 or below.

Starting equipment: Half normal starting currency; Duck's leg necklace

Bushcraft Skill as per Halfling.

Curse! At first level, and every level there after, you're able to "cultivate" a curse within you. This curse functions as per the Bestow Curse spell, and is deliverable through touch. A specific curse is determined when you begin to cultivate it. Each curse may be cast once per day, but a specific curse may only have one on going version. If cast again on a new target tomorrow, it becomes dispelled from the original target of today. Should the curse be Removed before you dispel it, you can not use it again for a week.


Closing Thoughts
I've no clue as to how this class plays, or why the hell someone would want to play it. I've simply read an article on these unfortunate group of people, who were shunned after someone said "You've got cooties!" and no one else got the joke, then had a hankering to write a class during lunch. Seems like a one trick glass pony to me, but if you're smart with the curses, seems it could be powerful.  Other abilities considered where using your blood on weapons to inflict your curses at range, and one where, in a very messy operation, you pass your cagotry on to someone else, loosing your levels, but being free of the curses. It amused me, but seemed off.

Varient: Diseases rather than curses. Same great shunning, new great taste.
