Leper

"This man understands that adversity and existence are one and the same."

- The Narrator.

The Leper is one of the playable Character Classes in Darkest Dungeon.

Together with the Crusader and the Vestal, he refuses to embark on missions if the Abomination is in the party.

Combat Skills
"A ruined man, a warrior, and a poet. The Leper is most effective when given a turn to focus himself before raising his massive blade. When he swings, it is all or nothing - crushing blows and massive damage or the empty whistling of a glancing blow. He is entirely self-sufficient, drawing strength from his life of trauma, and able to channel it into heals, protection, or unrelenting fury. ~Guild"

Camping Skills
"A loner and an outcast, the Leper will tend to shun the others in his group, preferring instead to mend his own dying body at the expense of the horror such an undertaking brings forth. In order to reduce his stress, the Leper can remove his mask, but such a thing is sure to unsettle his companions."

- Survivalist

Equipment
"Heavy and restricting, the Leper's bronzed cuirass can absorb all manner of punishing blow. His massive sword is slow to swing, but delivers crushing damage to anyone caught in its unstoppable arc."

- Blacksmith
