===Unholy Classes===
'''Diabolist:''' Not quite [[wizard]], not quite [[warlock]], these spellcasters forge pacts with myriad dark entities in order to rapidly gain power through fiendish magic, necromancy, and unholy conjurations. Subclasses are the ''Path of Devils'' and the ''Path of Demons'', representing which family of fiends your Diabolist prefers to work with.

'''Mad Scientist:''' A being who has learned through the spark of madness to blend [[magitek|science with sorcery]] to achieve great things. Whilst the original Mad Scientist from the Book of Exalted Darkness is restricted to non-Good and non-Lawful alignments, the Book of Celestial Heroes features the ''Inaequa Inventor'' subclass, which allows for one to play Good-aligned (though still non-Lawful and now non-Evil) Mad Scientists. The malevolent mad scientist's subclasses are the ''Engineer of Evil'' (specialized in crafting magitek that fools detective spells & sorcery), the ''Fleshworker'' (self-explanitory; a [[fleshcrafter]] by any other name), the ''Trickster'' (specialized in traps, explosives and outsmarting foes), and the ''Unholy Technologist'' (a mad scientist specialized in subverting inaequa-fueled devices).

'''Occultist:''' A dark melding of [[warlock]] and [[monk]], the occultist uses mystical rituals, unnatural science or otherworldly forces to transform itself into a creature that is no longer human(oid). Subclasses are the ''Abomination'', the ''Horror'', the ''Nightmare'', the ''[[Ooze]]'', the ''[[Vampire]]'', and the ''[[Therianthrope|Werecreature]]''.

The Book of Exalted Darkness also includes the '''Dark Transformation''' prestige class, which uses prestige class mechanics to allow a PC to become a [[demon]], [[dragon]], [[devil]], [[golem]], [[lich]] or [[rakshasa]].
