Introduction

Like rumors of war or plague-ridden winds, harbingers move through battlefields and leave only ruin and sorrow in their wake. Empowered from within by a deep connection to malice, harbingers channel their negative emotions into a supernatural fighting style that is strange and terrifying to behold. Some accept the darker urges within themselves but leash them, making their wrath serve as a hound might and others embrace the violence within, becoming killers without restraint or pity.

The core gameplay revolves around the use of the class core ability Dark Claim (an Arelith custom Standard Curse ability) which applies various stacking/layering "effects" to the currently targeted enemy. The Dark Claim ability applies General effects, all known Hexes, chosen Path effects and allows Atrocity abilities to be utilized on the affected target.

There are three Atrocity abilities that vary in effect depending on Path selection and subsequent investment however the three abilities themselves are gained as the Harbinger levels in the class rewarding the Harbinger as they gain power in their class, in the following order

Atrocity: Strike - (Harbinger level 5) Melee Strike ability
Atrocity: Whisper - (Harbinger level 10) Medium Ranged ability
Atrocity: Invocation (Harbinger level 14) - Personal Range Area of Effect ability

Dark Claim is further improved, outside Atrocity abilities by increasing Harbinger levels and potentially by Bonus Feat selection invested in Hexes.

Hexblade Conversions

If you are reading this, it is likely that your character includes the Hexblade class and you are looking to understand why you are being prompted to relevel and how to move forward. The Harbinger class is a replacement class for the original custom Hexblade class. This means the Hexblade class no longer exists.

If the first 3 levels of your character are Hexblade then the first 3 levels of your relevel will now be Harbinger. If subsequent levels are Harbinger (any levels between 4 - 30), you can replace them with Harbinger or an alternative class selection.

Note: This is the only option for existing characters with ANY Hexblade levels. Ability score (setstat) and initial level (setclass) changes are not currently available.

Please use the class outline below to assist you in planning your relevel and remember PGCC is available to you to help with your planning and testing.
