From the doors of death itself... here comes the LICHADOR! You are a masked warrior, an entertainer, and decidedly dead. Honor, fame, and the glory of victory ruled your life, and these things pulled you back from the other side.
Full credit for the class's inspiration goes to hey it's hoop on the OSR Discord, specifically this post in #d30-dice-democracy.

Start with: a mask that holds your soul, a folding chair, a skin-tight costume (counts as medium armor), championship belt
Skills (1d4): impressing others, acrobatics, disguise-craft, making kickass tamales
A: Professional Wrestler, Veil-Touched, +1 HP
B: All Oiled Up, Soul Contender, +1 to-hit
C: Challenge, Death's Grasp, +1 HP
D: Peak Physique, Pass on the Mask, +1 to-hit
Professional Wrestler: You get +2 to initiative, grappling, and rolls to do things in combat for the sake of flashiness. Your unarmed attacks can be made with any body part.
Veil-Touched: You can speak to spirits of the dead, commune with your ancestors, and punch ghosts.
All Oiled Up: You keep yourself covered in oil, always. If someone else is restraining you, you can slip out as an action, and have advantage on checks made to slip out of handcuffs or the like.
Soul Contender: You have advantage on avoiding the effects of disease, poison, and mind-altering magic.
Challenge: You can issue challenges to anyone able to understand you. In "civilized" places, this means arranging a duel; time, place, weapons, etc. In combat, the target makes a save; if failed, they feel compelled to attack you.
Death's Grasp: Damage you deal is magical, necrotic, and can't be resisted.
Peak Physique: You can leap great heights and distances with even greater ease, and can now attack twice in a turn without penalty.
Pass on the Mask: When you die (again), someone else can don your mask, becoming a Luchador and gaining template A. Your spirit joins the voices of their ancestors.
What's in a Name?
When you put on the mask and became a LICHADOR, you created a persona for yourself, a character you play out on the world's greatest stage: the ring. An important part of every character is a fitting name.
