===Backgrounds===
* Initiate in the Mysteries of the Darkness 4
** Serzeen studied under the priestesses of her tribe before her exile, becoming initiated into the many secrets that darkness and night hold.
* Casino Town Enforcer 4
** During her exile, Serzeen made her way to Casino Town in God Forgot. There, she found work as an enforcer for some of the gambling houses, whether it involved cracking the skulls of unruly drunks, intimidating people into compliance, or hunting down those who would try to skip out on their gambling debts.


===Class Features===

==Bound Spirits==
Each day you can choose number of bound spirits to serve you as indicated in the class progression table. Each bound spirit provides you (or sometimes your allies) with a bonus or power of some sort while you have it bound. Each spirit also has a release trigger, which is a moment when you can release the spirit and gain a benefit from it. The release trigger action is the only way to release a bound spirit.

At adventurer tier, the spirit’s release often provides a second chance for an ally who has screwed up a bit, but the favors of o Darkness spirits don’t come easy! When a Darkness spirit eats someone’s bad luck, it also tends to eat a piece of them, or their spirit.

Each individual spirit has a recharge roll that you use after the battle to try to bind the spirit again. If you succeed, you start the next battle with the spirit bound and providing you with its bonus. If you fail the roll, the spirit is somewhere else, not yet returned to you.


==Recurring Daily Spells==
The hell mother’s daily spells work a bit differently than those of other classes. The big difference is that the spell automatically repeats at the start of the hell mother’s next turn. Then, if the natural attack roll of the recurring spell is even, the spell repeats again at the start of the hell mother’s next turn, and so on as long as natural even rolls come up.

In other words, the hell mother’s recurring daily spells always repeat at least once. They might repeat again on subsequent rounds depending on the natural attack rolls of the recurrences. Cast once, a hell mother’s daily spells aren’t as powerful as the daily spells cast by other spellcasters. Combine several rounds of effects and the fact that spells
recur as free actions, and the hell mother does just fine.

You can only have one recurring daily spell active at a time and casting a second such spell ends the first. So of course you aren’t likely to cast a second recurring spell until the first spell has ended ‘naturally.’

'''Use the first attack roll:''' Some hell mother daily spells require multiple attacks. Use the first attack roll of a turn for a recurring spell to determine whether it recurs again.

'''Automatic repetition:''' The fact that recurring daily spells ‘automatically repeat’ is a bit different than how we usually do things. What we mean is that a recurring spell no longer requires an action being taken by the hell mother. The hell mother can be knocked unconscious or out of play using dark walk, or teleported away, or DEAD, and the recurring spell will keep getting cast as long as natural even attack rolls keep occurring. This mechanic models our notion that the hell mother has called up spirits who are operating somewhat independently.

One possible oddity comes from targeting. The hell mother herself isn’t recasting the spell, so she’s not going to be taking opportunity attacks from engaged enemies if it’s a ranged spell. And the attack isn’t coming from her, not really. To determine nearby targets, use the hell mother’s most recent location, or where she is lying unconscious, but don’t worry about line of sight and cover for the recurrences, since the spirits are flying around tearing things up on their own.

==Ritual Magic==
You can cast your spells as rituals (13th Age, page 192). Unlike most other ritual casters, your rituals generally require you to eat something living. In troll society, trollkin suffice, but while adventuring with surface folk you’ll probably make do with animals.

Your rituals work best underground or at night. Outdoors and under the sunlight, you’re probably just wasting your time and a spell.

==Summons from Hell==
As a hell mother, you know a number of summoning spells, as indicated on the level progression table. You use the general rules for summoned creatures presented on page 67 but with a couple wrinkles all your own.

Unlike most other summoners, you don’t know different summoning spells. Instead, you have one hell mother summoning spell, summons from Hell, which is shown below. At 1st level, you get one use of the spell. At 2nd level you get another use, and so on.

The creatures you summon are determined by a d20 roll rather than by summoning spell choices. Low rolls let you choose a giant bug to summon. Higher rolls summon a giant spider. Still higher rolls summon a o Darkness spirit known as a dehori (pronounced dae-HOR-ee). Maxed-out rolls summon the same types of dehori but as a superior summoned creature instead of as an ordinary summoned creature, allowing you to use your standard actions as you like while the superior dehori fights without needing direction.

Normally you summon a creature that’s your level or one lower. If you want to summon an even lower level creature for story reasons or because it has an ability that higher level creatures lack, you’re free to do so.

'''Summons from Hell'''
