Weeper

This class is interesting as everything hinges on your mask that you wear. Many of your abilities call your mask to be dismissed which basically shuts off everything you can do, turning you into a rogue without any abilities. A fate that few adventurers would want. So you have to pick the proper moment to use your abilities. This class doesn't seem too powerful at lower levels but come the late game this character becomes a boss slayer being able to eliminate big monsters from just a single glance, at the cost of doing anything else. DMs be very aware to what this class can do especially when it comes to that point in the game.

Bonuses still accrue, and the Weeper still dies of old age when her time is up.

Reaping Gaze Su: At 17th level, any creature killed by the Weeper's abyssal gaze is permanently killed as his or her soul is banished from the world of the living. Only a wish or a miracle followed by a true resurrection spell can bring the creature back.

Spirit Form Su: An 18th level Weeper, wearing her mask may as an immediate action fuse with her "guardian angel", becoming incorporeal. This ability lasts as long as the weeper is wearing her mask. A weeper can dismiss this ability as a free action.

Mourning Reaper Su: A 20th level Weeper no longer needs to manifest her mask to use her Weeper abilities, however she does not gain her mask traits when unmasked. The only exception to this ability is ghostly breath, this ability still requires the Weeper to have her mask on to used and it will still be dismissed afterwards.
