Another subclass in a series by a fan-favorite creator, William Dvorak of Wicked Studios!
This incredibly popular series has seen subclasses for many popular classes, like paladins, rangers, and even warlock patrons for hero-deities and demigods! Recently, William did a poll to decide on the next class, and it’s CLERICS!
Without further ado, here’s the next installment of his series!
The Clerics of Incabulos!
Art by Ethan Zu.
Incabulos, the god of Plagues, Sickness, Famine, Nightmares, and Disasters. Not all clerics who serve the Black Rider take pleasure in spreading pain, suffering, and death but realize it must be done to feed their master’s hunger and to keep life in check. The acts of the clerics of Incabulos often seem random and without meaning to most, but his clerics firmly believe in the dark orders whispered to them by their master.
With a deformed body, skeletal hands, and a nightmarish face, Incabulous is terrifying to behold, even in images. His clerics look to duplicate the fear instilled by the Black Rider by imitating his appearance. They achieve this by wearing vile-looking costumes in the shapes of deformed and rotting creatures or by actually disfiguring themselves through rituals. They will hide their hideous armor and appearance when necessary by wrapping themselves in filthy black robes trimmed in sickly green.
While Incabulos is not venerated by many, most common folk throughout the Flanaess give him offerings, usually by burning foul-smelling, black candles made from the tallow of sickly animals, to appease him.
Clerics of Incabulos are persecuted in most lands, and because of this, most are secretive and don’t often announce their allegiance to the Black Rider openly. Temples to Incabulos are almost always hidden underground or in isolated regions.
