Dire Harbinger (Inquisitor/Oracle)

Divinely inspired heralds of pain and adjudication, dire harbingers channel the anger and wrath of their deities in glorious punishment. Able to impart their own suffering to their foes, the dire harbinger can also gift their visions and blessings of power to certain allies to further their divine agency. This power comes at great personal cost–for the path to power can burn the flesh and wrack the soul, and those wishing to share the divine harbingers' benefits must accept the baleful with the benign.
