Mord-Sith (Rogue Variant)
The Mord-Sith are an elite sect of mostly female warriors that specialise in the arts of torture and the infliction of pain. Every Mord-Sith uses a weapon called an Agiel to inflict pain on their foes&mdash;even the slightest touch to the right place is enough to cause unbearable agony. Trainee Mord-Sith are selected from only the gentlest and kindest girls, and are "trained" on three levels. Each time, a trainee must be "broken". The first level involves a Mord-Sith teacher torturing her to breaking point and beyond with an Agiel, so that she will obey any and all orders from the Mord-Sith teacher without question and is utterly devoted to her teacher. This breaks her sense of self. At the second breaking, she must watch as the Mord-Sith teacher slowly tortures her mother to death with the Agiel. This breaks her compassion. At the final, and arguably most difficult, breaking, she is given an Agiel and she must torture her own father to death. This completes her training.

Mord-Sith typically wear skintight leather armor|leather armor]] in one of three colors, depending on the occasion. Blood red leather is worn when the Mord-Sith is practicing the art of torture on a victim (also called "training" a victim), as the color hides the blood better. White leather is worn when a Mord-Sith selects one of her victims to be her mate, as a sign that she no longer needs an Agiel on her victim/mate (a Mord-Sith's mate never survives for long). Brown leather is worn on all other occasions.

Having suffered the agony of Mord-Sith "training", you are now unleashed upon the world to inflict pain and suffering where you deem fit. But did your training really break you, and are you the heartless torturess Mord-Sith are made out to be?

Races: As the most compassionate girls make the most vicious Mord-Sith, elves and half-elves make good Mord-Sith, but Drow, with their pre-disposition towards cruelty, would make excellent Mord-Sith, if only a compasionate young drow could be found.
