Jul 12, 2004 8:35:48 Has anyone made any homebrew paths of corruption? I'm planning on making my own and want to see what others have done. I'm planning on making a path of anger, for a fighter in my game that tends to get extremely angry with NPCs and dragged one NPC off into the woods so that he wouldn't get burried. (Yeah, definite failed powercheck there).

So, what custom paths has everyone created?
