In order to reduce his stress, the Leper can remove his mask, but such a thing is sure to unsettle his companions.Ĭamping skills are special skills heroes can use while they are camping. (All buffs and debuffs last for 3 rounds unless otherwise specified.)Ī loner and an outcast, the Leper will tend to shun the others in his group, preferring instead to mend his own dying body at the expense of the horror such an undertaking brings forth. The debuffs from Revenge cannot be cleared by Medicinal Herbs. Note: New Lepers will always come with the Chop skill. He is entirely self-sufficient, drawing strength from his life of trauma, and able to channel it into healing, protection, or unrelenting fury. When he swings, it is all or nothing - crushing blows and massive damage or the empty whistling of a glancing blow.

The Leper is most effective when given a turn to focus himself before raising his massive blade. The Leper sets his sights only on ensuring as many of the twisted horrors of this land as possible attend their final appointment, until his own may be postponed no more.Ī ruined man, a warrior, and a poet.

His power can neither serve nor comfort others but, drawing on it, he can gain strength others can but dream of, or the endurance to bear what no other could. He has learned to channel his energy inward, a kingdom within one man. Tortured existence has taught him to count not on the care of others. The Leper not only knows but embraces such solemnity. Struggle, and futility - all one's days are a constant toil to shelter life's ember through one more night.
