Hex tokens.

The Hexer, a “de-buffing” class capable of making overlord’s minions pay for every step they take. With an arsenal of plagues, curses, and other afflictions at his command, the Hexer is a grim reminder of that even the most objectionable forms of magic can be used in the name of good.

This class is characterized by the use of Hex tokens, which mark a monster for different damage enhancing purposes. Its starting equipment is the Staff of the Grave, and the skill Enfleebling Hex.
