So, here is a class I found in the MorkBorg slushpile, because I was asked to write a few during the project.
I tried my best to tie it in the Madness mechanic I already spoke of, because apparently we decided it was to be our central mechanic. I think one of the reasons the project failed and died is because we couldn't, in the slightest, understand why we had to make that Madness thing and why it had to be central in the adventure.

| Literally me thinking about past projects, and the class I'm talking about today. I have no idea where the image is from. |
It is probably the second worst flaw of most stuff I happen to work upon in groups for hobby-related projects. Nobody has clear goal on what they want out of this except "maybe we can monetize this thing" despite having no real idea why people would buy such a thing in the first place.
Fuck, this sounds like I'm really bitter about this. Anyway, here's the class-stuff:
Drowned Souls:
Beneath the Sea, Troubles lie dormant, awaiting the day the sea floor cracks, and saltwater joins the Blue Blood of the Earth.
Few have seen the Cathedral on the Shores Below the Sea. Fewer have entered it.
None came back the same.
Each time you spend Omen, you gain a Spell Point.
You can choose to not lose an Omen and get Madness instead.
d6 Omens. Toughness + d6 HP. d4 on the Weapons Table.
Roll stats as normal.

Start with one of the following Relics of the Ocean Beneath the Seabed:
1. Shamshas the Cursed Catfish (1 hp, he can become the target of any spell cast around you, he’s reborn in your lap every morning)
2. Key to the Sunken Library (once a day, it can reveal a truth about the world or a random single-use scroll)
3. Bible of the Lowered Citadel (as long as you chant the litanies inside, you produce light as a torch; DR6 every 10 minutes of chanting or else you get Madness / d4 damage)
4. Eye of the Blind Navigator (looking through the eye, you can see past any disguise, mundane or magical)
5. Visage of the Merfolk (it takes 10 minutes to put on or off, as long as you wear it you can breathe underwater but cannot communicate verbally at all)
6. Beak of the Tendriled Lord (a kraken beak, d8 damage, when it hits you can expend a spell point to spurt ink and blind your enemy)
