-//Even the most consummate diplomat would do well to learn something of strength and brutality. Sometimes that's the only language you can make yourself understood in.//

-A Tyrant is intimidating enough to potentially brute-force their way through many social situations, so long as you don't mind making enemies along the way. Its advanced abilities all give you ways to ruthlessly exploit your intimidated victims (and allies) for your own gain, making this a good class for dark knights, villains, and other cartoonish edgelord types. Read the room a little before playing a character with levels in this class to make sure you don't impinge upon the fun of any of the actual people you're playing with. If you want an infinite supply of disposable allies to be mean to, consider multiclassing as an [[Overlord]].
