Omenblade
About this class
A warrior bound to a weapon that feeds on fear and malice. The blade grows stronger as its curse deepens. Perfect for the player looking to play as a cursed weapon wielder. Will it be your companion, or consume your body for sustenance?
For this class I wanted the suggested traits blank, since your weapon can be any trait. This allows you to choose the trait distribution you want. So feel free to change the suggested traits for your character.

Path of Sentience
Foundation
Living Armament: Your cursed weapon is awake and fights beside you.
Your weapon always remains within Close range of you.
When you Attack with a weapon, you may have your Living Armament immediately make one weapon attack against a creature within its range.
Shared Risk: The Living Armament shares your health and thresholds. If you are reduced to 1 HP, the weapon becomes dormant and cannot act independently until you clear at least 1 HP.
Predatory Reflex: Whenever the GM spends Fear to spotlight an adversary within Attack range of your Living Armament, it may immediately attack that adversary.
Path of Sentience
Specialization
Soul Parry: When your Living Armament would be hit by an attack, you may mark 1 Stress to make a Reaction Roll using your Spellcast trait. On a success, the attack misses.
Hungering Kill: When your Living Armament defeats an adversary, you immediately clear HP equal to the adversary’s tier.
Path of Sentience
Mastery
Malignant Convergence: Once per spotlight, if an adversary is hit by both you and your Living Armament during the same spotlight they must make a Reaction roll (14) or become Cursed, that creature marks 1 Stress when the GM uses a Fear to spotlight them, sharing your curse.
Final Surrender: When you would make a Death move, you may instead yield fully to your curse.
Remove all Fear from the GM’s pool. Your physical body dies.
Your spirit becomes permanently bound to your Cursed Weapon.
What remains is decided with the GM.
Path of Doom
Foundation
Blasphemous Union: Flesh and steel are no longer separate. You are permanently Cursed. While Cursed, each time you are spotlighted, you must mark 1 Stress to act. In return, your fusion grants overwhelming force:
When you make a weapon attack with your Cursed Weapon, you apply your Proficiency twice to the damage.
You can choose the damage type.
Menacing Indulgence: When you roll a success with Fear on a weapon attack, you may give the GM 1 extra Fear to double a damage dice of that attack.
Path of Doom
Specialization
Profane Eruption: When you use Fearmonger, each adversary within Close range of you must make a Reaction Roll (14) on a failure, the adversary becomes Cursed.
Feed the Curse: When a Cursed adversary is defeated, you clear Stress equal to that adversary’s tier.
Path of Doom
Mastery
Damnation: You have advantage on attack rolls against Cursed creatures. You clear a number of HP equal to the number of HP the Cursed target marks from your Cursed Weapon.
Dread Tyrant: If Fearmonger is amplifying your weapon, adversaries within Close range of you cannot be spotlighted unless the GM spends 1 additional Fear to do so.
Last Omen: When you would make a Death move, you may instead unleash the curse in full.
Remove all Fear from the GM’s pool.
Each creature within Close range of you takes a d12 damage for each Fear removed.
Each creature hit must make a Reaction Roll (14) or become Cursed.
You die.
