SCOURGE CLASS FEATURES
Your armor, your shield, and your weapon are the most important tools of your trade. In addition, you have the following class features.
Life Trap
Dark energy swirls around the lifeforce of your allies, making attempts at it ill-advised at best.
Whenever an enemy within 5 squares of you makes an attack and deals at least 1 point of damage to an ally that is also within 5 squares of you, that enemy suffers 2 points of necrotic damage. The damage increases to 4 at 11th level and to 6 at 21th level.
Glimpse of AfterlifeYou can imbue your most basic powers with shadow energy, making them more potent.
Whenever you drop an enemy to 0 hit points, you recover the use of Glimpse of Afterlife if you already used it, making it possible to use this ability more than once per encounter. In addition, whenever you spend an action point, you recover any spent uses of this ability.
