Ruined Champion (3.5e Class)

Ruined Champion

Ruined Champions are those who have fallen from their former glory. They once had an important role, or a position of higher standing, only to fall to rock bottom. They have lost everything, and are desperate for a second chance to be recognized. Most live in poverty in the cities and towns, and some fall away to the forest to die alone and forgotten. They may be desperate, yet they still are honorable and wont cheat their way to the top.
