Editing Cancer (section)

== In D&D ==
The [[Book of Vile Darkness]] actually featured a [[Prestige Class]] for the Mage, the "Cancer Mage", which was as disgusting as you might think it is. As a bonus for hoping into the prestige class, the Cancer Mage acquired bonuses related to spreading diseases, and most importantly, a [[Nurgling|sentient tumor]] as a familiar. 

The final power from the prestige class flat out let the mage [[what|transform themselves into the disease]] and [[AIDS|infect others with it]], which was actually less impressive than it sounds given that most clerics could simply negate and flat out ''kill you'' through a 3rd level spell slot if you failed your weakest save. Still, it has one of the most unique (and disgusting) fluffs for classes to this day in D&D.
