The Unbaptized - An Optional Character Class For Your Favorite Old School Space Opera

The Unbaptized 

There are times when even the most "evil" minds & hearts must turn away. Those who serve the darkness must return to the road of humanity. They have gazed into the abyssal stare of their dark gods & have been found wanting. 

Those who turn their backs on their former masters are waging a futile war at best. They will never again be trusted by their own friends, family, community, even their former religions.  The Unbaptized have been found wanting at best & are hunted relentlessly at worst. These beings are few & far between. They advance as fighters & have none of the spell casting abilities that they did in the service to their former heathen masters. 

Some of the guidelines for playing The Unbaptized : -1 on Charisma as no one will trust them & they will bear the marks of their former master's service, Hunted 3 times per week by the minions of their former masters, +1 Strength & Dexterity for fighting for their lives at every turn, May use any magic item without penalty because of the easy flow of magic, Identify any ritual, rites, & magic associated from their former masters, & 1/2 the normal life span of a person of their age. The candle that burns brightest burns fastest especially without the hand of their forbidden master.

Animals & All riding animals are at a -1 charisma roll unless a saving throw by the Unbaptized is made for each encounter
