<color=Gold>Plague Bearer</color>

<color=Red>(PRESTIGE CLASS: This class is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below.)</color>

When exposed to the virulent Spore Plague, most people simply die. Some are transformed by the disease into monsters, their bodies and minds twisted by it. A chosen few are able to master the plague, becoming one with the disease. They embrace it in all its pain, sickness and horror. Every moment of their lives becomes agony, as sores spread across their bodies and eats away a them. But the Plague Bearer does not die, and while their bodies are twisted and their minds warped, they become stronger.
