Grim Legion

Darkness. Most races fear it, hiding in shelter or behind torches, staving off the madness that lurks in their mind, unleashed via imagination when they can't see what's really happening. But just as the beasts that lurk in the dark, some members of this light-bound races revel in the dark, drawing power from it.

This class is actually five separate classes: Grimslayer, Grimreaver, Grimhunter, Grimcaster and Grimwarden.

The Grimslayers are the foot soldiers and more normal assassins of the organization, attacking foes in groups and shredding them quickly and efficiently.

The Grimreaver is a mobile melee warrior, the cavalry of the organization, using his familiar to ride into battle, flank enemies, and take them out with a rapid flurry of sneak attacks.

The Grimhunter is a scout and ranged combatant, using his familiar to help pinpoint foes for his spells and ranged weapons to strike, before slipping away into the night.

The Grimcaster is a spellcaster with utility spells to aid their destructive blats of shadowstuff.

The Grimwarden is a hulking melee warrior who focuses on fighting with unarmed strikes and natural weapons, can heal with a touch, and can merge with their familiar to create an effect similar to Wild Shape.

Grimhunter

The owl. All-seeing, the wise hunter in the night, the unseen seer. These nightbeasts are scouts, swooping in to pick off a single victim before vanishing once more into the night. The Grimhunters are those of the Grim One who seek to emulate this, striking from afar and disappearing before fire can be returned, and seeing all foes coming so that they may lie in wait.

Power Points/Day: A <-class name->’s ability to manifest powers is limited by the power points he has available. His base daily allotment of power points is given on Table: <-class name->. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high <-relevant ability-> score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points). His race may also provide bonus power points per day, as may certain feats and items.
