SQ malicious blessing

Malicious Blessing (Su) Rubbing Balchort's head as a standard action gives a dark blessing. The person who done that for the next 24 hours gains +2 insight bonus to ability and skill checks made to fulfill actions that are selfish, cruel, or malicious and a –2 penalty to ability and skill checks that are driven by compassion, mercy, or generosity. Malicious blessing also bestows a faint aura of evil on its recipient as long as it lasts.


Balchort was cursed into a puny mockery of his former might by superiors envious of his enormous successes. Now he has to endure the indignity of near-mortal existence on the Material Plane until he manages to break his curse, reclaim his infernal glory, and take vengeance on those who wronged him!

For now, though, he remains among mortals, scheming and playing petty games of intrigue, crime, and an occasional temptation, leading or advising brutal gangs and ruthless politicians in their operations.
