Tormentor of Polshoath
The worshippers of Polshoath view pain as the fire that
has forged the drow into one of the great powers of the
Underdeep, and the Tormentor, the instrument of the Dark
Lady of Agony on the Material Plane, is charged with
bringing the goddess’ much-needed gift of pain to the
drow.
The Tormentor’s primary concern is, of course, pain. He
is unconcerned with the rest of the aspects of his goddess’
influence, namely birth and life, except for how they are
connected with pain.
The Tormentor has been granted significant abilities to
inflict and master pain. He may play an active role in the
ceremonies of worship performed for Polshoath, or he may
spend most of his time hiring out his abilities to the drow
of Noble Houses, acting as a torturer for hire. His ability
to inflict pain with a touch also makes him a remarkably
dangerous combatant, one who is often underestimated by
those with no understanding of the exquisite agony a touch
of the Tormentor’s fingers can bring.
Usually it is clerics of Polshoath who choose to follow
the path of the Tormentor, but they are not the only ones.
Multiclassed cleric/rogues are particularly fond of this
The Tormentor of Polshoath
class as well, and their sneak attack abilities will serve them
well. It is not unknown even for wizards and sorcerers to
embrace the way of the Tormentor.
