You are an entertainer who has been tormented by other musicians. Their music has caused demons to spawn in your soul who take the form of black shadows. Most will turn to gods of death and darkness, to try and turn away the darkness in your soul.
- Skill Proficiencies: You are proficient in stealth, intimidation and persuasion, as you can manipulate darkness to hide you or use the darkness in your soul to intimidate others and persuade them to give you things.
- Tool Proficiencies: Instruments
- Languages: Proficient in infernal and abyssal
- Equipment: Longsword, shortsword, rapier, any instrument
Feature: Feature: Mind of Darkness
Those who look into your eyes can see that you have faced unimaginable horror and that you are no stranger to darkness. Though they might fear you and try to discern who you are, no one can divine your thoughts or intentions. As a writer you put yourself in the shoes of your characters often, increasing your ability to do so with people in the flesh. If you have spent a few minutes conversing with an individual you gain advantage on persuasion and insight checks and they gain disadvantage on insight checks towards you. Your DM might rule that the individual is incredibly closed off or particularly perceptive, requiring a successful insight or deception check prior to using this feature.
Spell List
With the help of your demons you are able to create illusions and cast spells of necromancy.
Suggested Characteristics
You have learned to live with the terror that haunts you. You are a survivor, who can be very protective of those who bring light into your darkened life. However, you have little respect for the niceties of life in the cities. The ties of tribe, clan, family, and the natural world of which they are a part are the most important bonds to most you.
