Withering related perks

[Barber]

The Withering is a major party of the server, so why not have some perks about the withering?  Suggest your own!

Weak Flesh:  Your flesh is naturally susceptible to the withering.  As a result, you are able to tolerate more negative energy in your system.  -2 negative energy reduction, slightly increase speed of the withering

Withering Magnet:  Something strange about your physiology allows the Withering to rapidly accelerate in your system.  No benefit.  Your character naturally withers twice as fast as  usual.  Some characters may chose this for the interesting RP opportunity it presents.

Taint-Sense:  As the withering courses through your veins, you can sense others with the taint.  Bonus to tracking checks against withered creatures, slightly increases speed of the withering.  Pure ranger only?

Glutton for Punishment:  You have accelerated the withering by by eating and drinking large amounts of food from the Blight Lands.  Your body is more resistant to toxins.  +2 to poison checks.  Slightly increased speed of the withering.

Withered Charmer:  You have delved into the curse of the Dread Lich and found a way to twist it, temporarily gaining the allegiance of the Lich's minions.  Changes the casters summoning theme to withered creatures.  This will increase the speed of the withering with each creature summoned.

Withered Masochist:  You spend a great deal of time trying to fight the withering in others but your weakened state has left you vulnerable to the curse yourself.  Casting Remove Curse costs 50 XP less, however the caster withers faster and gains some form of negative energy vulnerability.  Good aligned only.

Withering Magic:  You have dabbled with the lich's curse and found a way to draw magical power from it.  Your elemental spells are converted to negative energy.  No effect on withering speed.

Doomed:  There is no hope.  You are doomed.  For whatever reason, the Lich's curse grows in you more slowly but all efforts to alleviate it's symptoms seem to yield no effect.  Withering proceeds significantly slower, however Remove Curse has no effect on the character.

Withered Rebuke:  You have spent many grueling hours of prayer asking your god for aid to fight the Lich's minions.  Your turns against the Lich's minions are more effective, however you are unable to turn or rebuke any other sort of creature, including other forms of undead.

I agree that there should be more to the withering than simply an inconvenience of having to see a priest now and then. That just becomes a chore in most cases, as few care to RP alot around the spell as i have seen. Granted, there -are- exceptions, as there always are, but the majority of what I see as a player do not.

Please, make the withering be a bit easier to RP around. Give us other options than: "I need a priest". I know its a curse, curses don't neccesarily need to be beneficial at all, Mistlocke is a gloom-doom place but this is still a game, games are meant to be fun. Right now, the withering is boring.

My 2c.

There are other ways than clerics to fight the withering, clerics are just the most straightforward method.

Get yourself highly withered one day and see what happens.  Perks, I am against entirely.
