Today we’ll be looking at the Cursed Sorcerer. The intent here was to have a sorcerer whose magic came from an old curse put on their family, which they then took advantage of in order to gain power.
I like the theming, and I like the narrative. The mechanics? Not so much.
And as much as I’d love to crack a joke about this creation being cursed, I can’t really justify that. It just has some issues, that’s all.
Magic is wondrous and beautiful, to most. For you, it is like a sickness, twisting your body from within. Arcane forces warp your flesh and bone, and mystical energy courses within the monstrous form left behind.

Sometimes, people use hurtful words. You might call a goblin a bastard, or a lich “bitch” (bad idea). And then there’s the really hurtful things, like when the party paladin calls the party rogue a “murderer” or “serial killer” or even “psychotic butcher” just for doing their job!
And I’ll have you know, butchering is an art.

Don’t call them thugs if you value your kneecaps. Their job is actually harder, when you think about it. A normal rogue relies on quick feet and quick wits to make sure they aren’t on the same plane by the time the law comes. A ruffian just has to deal with it. The law shows up a lot faster when there’s screaming.
And bloody cudgels make finding a good alibi extremely difficult.

Victory is won with blood, sweat, and tears. For you, blood is a significant majority, since it physically burns and sickens your enemies. Guess that’s what they get for trying to kill you, huh?
Gods forgive some unfortunate critter actually tries to take a bite.

Gods like clerics. They make the best servants. They’re so loyal, obedient… faithful, even. Nothing like a warlock, the most mercenary, backstabbing, untrustworthy of the lot. But a dead, lost, exiled, or forgotten god doesn’t always have many options, so they have to work with what they have.

A melee sorcerer? On this recently revived newsfeed? It isn’t a hallucination! This is actually happening, and hopefully it’ll really, really creep you out. But look past all that monstrous nature, and you’ll find a heart of- is that a third set of teeth? Why do you have those?

So… druids. I’ve talked about them before, and something about that has stuck with me ever since. More specifically, it’s about the Circle of the Land.
This time, though, I have a solution.
