Dragonmark Pact Warlock	Magical abilities often manifest in bloodlines. The most famous examples of this are the Dragonmarks.

But there are stories of those who came away from the genies with more. Not some temporary boon or magical working, but real and lasting power. It's unclear weather this power is something anyone could wish for, or if it represents a deeper relationship. Some claim these individuals are genie outcasts, stripped of the bulk of their powers and forced to wander among mortals.

Fae Pact Warlock	Many Warlocks appeal to the fey for their power. While the stories of children wandering into the woods and returning with terrible gifts of Mab or Oberon are largely exaggerated, even stumbling upon a dryad grove, nymph's pool, or satyr revel can be a path to tremendous magical power. Provided, that is, you can convince the fae you are worthy of their attention, and survive receiving it. Most who follow this path become simple hedge witches (in many cultures, "witch" refers almost exclusively to fae-sworn Warlocks), but the truly powerful among them find themselves drawn into the otherworldly machinations of the great courts.

The Fiendblooded Knight is a Paladin who mastered their own inner demon and plan on using the power of 'evil' to defeat evil.

Perhaps this is more common than the occasional brave soul facing and defeating corruption and much more willing to delve into the depth of their abilities.	AntipaladinPathfinder, Paladin (and Variants) or PaladinPathfinder
Fiendish Pact Warlock	When it comes to the trade of souls for power, few do more business than the fiends. Among every people of the world, there are those desperate enough for power to accept even the most terrible of prices. Contrary to popular expectation, these are not all howling madmen, or fools seduced by false promises of power. Many who offer up their souls do so with eyes open, believing their cause important enough to be worth risking everything for. Of course, many of these stories end in tragedy nonetheless, with victorious Warlocks defeating invading armies only to inflict back the cruelties their people suffered tenfold, calling up demonic servants to extract a terrible revenge on those who have wronged them.

Humble Champion	Not all paladins are clad in shining armor, nor wield the sword and shield. Some prefer a lonely, ascetic existence, while others may live and work side-by-side with the poor and vulnerable. Others take up the mantle of humility as a personal choice and demonstration of piety and service to their cause, while continuing to work and train alongside the more traditional paladins of their order. On rare occasions, a deity may test a chosen warrior's devotion to the faith and not to glory, imposing these restrictions upon them for either a set amount of time, or permanently.

The class is absolute genius, using an obvious Incarnum theme with a completely unique set of rules.

Night Count	A night count is a dhampir who draws upon his heritage, attempting to become a fully-powered vampire. While they never truly undergo the same changes as a vampire, their own power eventually matches or exceeds the power of their brethrens. Ultimately a night count can be viewed as a vampire in their own right, just one that took an alternate step to power. While an antipaladin in class level, a night count does not rely on the blessing of outside influence, instead relying on their own strength alone.	Antipaladin
Night Hunter	While not the knight in shining armor, the night hunter is a skilled destroyer of evil. Typically hailing from countries in the borderland, plagued by evil at night, the night hunter seeks out monsters who prey on humanoids and destroy them. Many of them have developed techniques that aid them in stalking evil in rural or wild areas. Rather than fighting in a blaze of glory, the night hunter is trained in studying their foes and dealing devastating damage to them. These techniques are especially potent against their nemesis, an ever-growing list of monsters they are trained to destroy. As a result of their lifestyles, the night hunters tend to be more cynical than most paladins. They lack many of the paladin’s more powerful divine powers, but have a looser code of conduct and restriction on their beliefs. They do not rely on heavy armor, preferring to say light armored, and make good uses of their spells. || Paladin

They mock the concept of good and evil, drawing their power from the dark being, whobenefits or even encourage such views. They are able to act much more freely than most antipaladin, some being fuelled by pure selfishness and id, seeking only short-term benefits and pleasures. Other nihilistic champions are more philosophical, and enjoy convincing others to see their way, especially would-be heroes. Rarely, a nihilistic champion will turn against the forces of evil, as a grand mockery of purposes, or perhaps to show those who would control them that they also ultimately don’t matter.	Antipaladin
Noble Tyrant	The stereotype of a corrupt decadent aristocrat is hardly a fantastic one. While there are many stout-hearted and virtuous nobles, true leaders of men, it is true that there are a handful of bad apples. A rare breed is those with a dark heart that is filled with courage and strength. Both trained in the way of the court and the battlefield, these men and women may be cunning aristocrats, conquering lords or anything in between.

At worst they are as debased and decadent as the darkest example of aristocracy in history.	Bard
