This class is for those who like playing villain or anti-hero characters. Illriger are paladin’s dark double. While Paladins are holy warriors who swear oaths to their respected Gods, Illrigers are lords of darkness that make pacts with archdevils, although Illrigers can and are expected act independently and are free from the direct control of patron, they are also expected to take action to further Hell’s agenda. This class is ideal for villain characters even if they are not player character, making this class a good pick for DM when picking a class for a new big bad. For those don’t feel comfortable playing a totally evil character can take inspiration from characters like Ghost Rider and Spawn and go the anti-hero route by saying your job in the mortal plain is to slay sinners so that you they can burn in Hell. Illrigers main feature is Called “Baleful Interdict” which gives Illrigers a resource called seals that can place on creature by using a bonus action or hitting a creature and then “burning” any number of placed seals when that creature takes damage again to deal additional damage, making it for a quick and easy way to rack up damage. They can also “expend” any number of unplaced seals to use any other class features. Illrigers are powerful character class but being an evil class brings with it some very uncosy ideas and concept. It is best to check with your DM and your fellow players before picking this class.
