Death

Doneness: 33%

Rank 1

• Death Touch: At-will, std, ranged; subject suffers 4 points of ability damage to Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution (Con half).

Rank 2

• Corpse Explosion: At-will, std, ranged; targeted corpse explodes, inflicting heavy explosive disease damage in a burst 2. Any corpses struck by this--including living creatures who are instantly killed by this damage--become the center of an identical effect, which can chain in turn, etc. Undead creatures can be targeted as well, but they do not automatically die if the damage doesn't kill them (although their exploding body still has the normal effect in a burst 2).
• Hasten Death: At-will, std, ranged; you target any ongoing harmful effect. It immediately takes effect as if 3 rounds elapsed suddenly, removing those 3 rounds from its remaining duration. If you reach rank 3, this increases to 5 rounds; etc.

Rank 3

• Finger of Death: At-will, std, ranged; subject dies (Con mitigates to heavy necrotic damage).

Ideas:

• Low level attack: kill some insignificant creature, cause a bunch of damage. Too edgy?
