Description: A doomed champion is a hero is going to die or suffer some other kind of doom.

The champion's upcoming doom haunts him, driving him slightly mad. He broods constantly.

The character's doom might be death from some kind of disease or the affect of some curse. It might also be something more unique. For instance, there could be a prophecy that the champion will be the last of his line. Or he could have some sort of curse that passes on to his descendants.

Doomed Champions are somewhat similar to Fated Philosiphers, but are angrier about their impending dooms.

Combat Technique: A doomed champion hurls himself into combat without any regard for personal safety. In some cases, they're desperate to avoid their doom. In others, they're seeking their own death (perhaps unconsciously).

Preferred Skills: Any. Healing skills would be somewhat odd for a doomed champion. Leadership and persuasion skills would be bizarre.

Benefit: A doomed champion's lack of a self-preservation instinct is often mistaken for courage. As such, doomed champions inspire ballads and are often made the leaders of war parties.

Disadvantage: Doomed champions typically don't go to great lengths to keep themselves alive. Hence, the often die.

Many people will be put off by a doomed champion's brooding.
