~HARUSPEX~
The Haruspex version of the Seer class is available to these races :
Danaki♂, Marki, Baronet
As a Haruspex, you are versed in both Death and Blood magic and perform sacrifices to get terrifyingly precise portents. Unlike the Seer, who is more focused on defences and preventing damage rather than combat, you are fully ready to unleash vengeful spirits upon your enemies.
You may be viewed with disdain and met with hatred for the sacrifices you perform. These rituals, however, are sacred and carried out with the utmost respect for the victims. You have the ability to call forth wildlife willing to depart this plane to aid you. You never kill gratuitously. Those powers of foresight through death are a blessing granted by the Goddess of Death herself. Acting with cruelty and selfishness would see your powers revoked and your existence cursed. All sacrifices require you to take time to respectfully bury them.
+4 ATU
Baseline : Death & Blood Grimoires
Weapon Proficiency : Carcass
If you are a Danaki, your racial Serpent
Kinship becomes Serpent Devotion. Melee attackers are guaranteed to be
struck and envenomed, dealing 2D4+ATU Toxin damage every turn for 5
turns.
As a Haruspex, you keep all the Seer abilities and gain a few new ones. You also have access to the basic spells of the Grimoire of Death and Grimoire of Blood.

Skill LVL1. Call forth a willing non-reptile, non-bird critter to be sacrificed.

Sacred Burial
Skill LVL1. Cannot be used in combat. Must be outdoors. Requires 1 incense, 1 candle, 1 pinch of salt. Takes 1 hour. Perform a ritual to dispose

you with an uncleansable Defiled curse that will result in
permanent death.

Oneiric Serpent
Spell. Cannot be used in combat. Can only be cast once very 8 days. At camp, call forth a snake and sacrifice it. During your next long rest, the spirit of the serpent will visit your dreams with secrets. The sacrificed snake corpse must then be ritualistically mummified (2 hours, requires 1 incense, 1 candle, 1 pinch of salt) and you must carry it with you until you can lay it to rest at the mausoleum in Dresdène. The corpse occupies a large backpack slot.
You can ask for a precise augur with a 60% chance of getting it. Otherwise, it will be a random one. You can spend a MAS point to make sure to get the augur you ask for.
