Abandoned Experiment Image

Your existence is a wholly unnatural one, the byproduct of some arcane ritual or a mad experiment gone horribly wrong—or right. You may have been stitched together from disparate beings, gotten injected with a concoction of strange chemicals, exposed to otherworldly energies, or been resurrected using ticking clockwork organs. As a result, you’ve been forced to leave your old life—if you had one—behind. Now, you are an oddity. An abomination.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Athletics
Languages: One language spoken by your creator
Equipment: A trinket from the place where you were created, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 5 gp.
 
Feature: Unnatural Existence

As a result of the experiments you’ve suffered through, some part of your body has been visibly and permanently changed. These changes might manifest as strange mechanisms poking out of your skin, additional appendages, or something else entirely. When you encounter others, their initial reaction to seeing you varies greatly; some may greet you with curiosity and offer shelter or aid, while others become struck by fear, or scorn you as a monster. At your DM’s discretion, certain monsters may view you as one of their own and be neutral to your presence.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Whether you were created as part of the experiments or had a whole life before them, you are a tortured soul. For a long time, pain and suffering is all you’ve known; a fact that has no doubt left deep scars in your psyche.
