Infernal knight
Illrigger
Illriggers are oath-bound agents of infernal powers, fighting with discipline, cruelty, and supernatural contracts.
The class combines martial presence with magical seals and punishing effects that make enemies pay for every mistake.
At the table, an Illrigger feels like a dark commander or executioner: armored, calculating, and built around pressure.

How do you play an Illrigger?
Play an Illrigger by choosing a coherent weapon plan, keeping Charisma strong, and treating seals as a tactical resource. Place Baleful Interdict on priority enemies, burn seals when the damage or Boon trigger matters, and preserve seals when a Contract or Interdict Boon may need them for a stronger effect. Your Diabolic Contract determines whether the character leans toward magic, manipulation, durability, blood-fuelled combat, or assassination.

What ability scores are best for an Illrigger?
An Illrigger normally prioritises Strength or Dexterity for weapon combat and Charisma for Baleful Interdict, Invoke Hell, and many Contract features. Constitution is the usual next priority because the class operates close to danger and uses a d10 Hit Die. The Revised Illrigger's multiclass requirement is Charisma 13 plus Strength 13 or Dexterity 13.
