OK, I posted the Carrionwalker.  I'll need some help on the blemishes; they are going to be inspired by Wild feats, undead feats, and undead grafts.

Alright, I'm going to be adding new Messiah Blemishes over the next few days, and then I'm gonna probably add a few feats.

Then, probably some PrCs.

So... looking over the Messiah, if they made Preach Unto the Choir a favored Blemish, and then used their temporary warp points from their penitents to boost their warp above their character level, they could have an auto-death effect for things several hit dice above their ECL... Doesn't that seem kind of broken? It's so much stronger than pretty much all the other options that it is a bit ludicrous.

I really love the flavor of the class, and the mechanics for Outcasts are definitely interesting. I plan on playing a Messiah in a gestalt game, but I won't be taking this Blemish, just due to the fact that it is either horribly overpowered or mostly useless, depending on whether you make it a favored one or not. It's really more of a problem with the spells themselves...

I'll have to take a look at that.

And tell me how it goes!
