This is my Acolyte of Talona submission. As I am not a modder I have no clue how one would implement this but I think it would be doable:
Talona, Lady of Poison
Plagueborn of Talona (Acolyte of Talona)
Plagueborn are devotees of Talona, Mistress of all Plagues and Lady of Poison and as such seek to
spread disease to the population and poison their hapless victims in the name of their goddess. They
are incredibly durable and have learnt to apply poison to their weapons to do their unholy work.
Abilities:
+5 save against paralyzation, poison and death
Poison Weapon; gains one use at level 1, one use at level 5, and an additional use every 5 levels thereafter. Each successful hit within the next 5 rounds will inject poison into the target. Each target can only be affected once per round. The amount of poison damage depends on the character's level (normal Blackguard progression up to level 13 in terms of saves)
Plague Smite; at level 10 and every 5 levels thereafter the Plagueborn can magically imbue his weapon with the ability to inflict a terrible affliction on his opponents. Enemies struck must save vs. death at -4 or lose 2 points of Strength, Dexterity and Constitution per hit. Enemies that lose all of their Strength, Dexterity and Constitution become paralysed (no save) and are unable to move. This ability last for one round per level of the Plagueborn.
Restrictions:
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Evil
- Multiclass: Cleric/Thieves can be Plagueborn
Sphere Access:
Focus: Affliction
Major: Death, Destruction, Knowledge, Dread, Vigor
Minor: Deception, Thought, Plant, Water, Shadow, Magic
Bit sloppy but there it is. I do not think it is OP or underpowered and would fit with Talon's mandate portfolio.
Yeah, I agree that they should have poison immunity ( I'll give them disease immunity, as well). As for smite, that's more of a champion thing, but i kinda like the idea of a disease touchz, though. Their charisma is also going to have to take a hit.
