Just looking for people's thoughts on a certain prestige class from dragon magazine.
In Dragon Magazine 302 we are introduced to a prestige class called tainted. It requires four things of a character to enter: To be non-evil, to have a BaB +2, a Base Will Save of +1, and "The character must share his soul with the personality of a particular fiend. This fiend might or might not have knowledge of the character's actions depending on how the character became a tainted."
Essentially, the tainted PrC is a class in which a non-evil character by some means shares their soul with a fiend. This can be by possession, trickery, or willingly giving it to the fiend. The exact type of fiend effects the abilities acquired and the traits displayed by the character in terms of personality. There are two versions of it, the tainted warrior (d10, full BaB, ect.), and the tainted spellcaster (d6, 5/10 advancement), but otherwise both are pretty much identical. Clerics and Paladins have unique rules for the class, and the class revolves around "fiend points", which if they ever become twice the character's wisdom score, their alignment shifts to that of the demon inhabiting their soul.
