Your bloodline has been marked by a relentless darkness. Family members vanished or fell under strange, inexplicable circumstances, often in their sleep. Each survivor inherited the cursed weapon and armor along with the knowledge that the darkness would inevitably reach them. You walk unfazed through ordinary threats, calm before armies and tyrants alike, but you know one truth: the horror stalking your line is patient, insidious, and far older than any foe you face. All you know is the darkness is very, very patient.
- Ability Scores: You are exceptionally steadfast in the face of fear, gaining double advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Your focus and resilience are tied to the cursed legacy of your family, making you unusually calm in dangerous situations.

- Feat: Your weapon is more than steel and wood; it carries a living record of your deeds. The faces of enemies you personally slay are etched into its form, visible only to you. Each time the weapon passes to a new heir, these etchings are wiped clean, leaving only the current owner’s legacy imprinted. The weapon whispers warnings, stirs your resolve, and guides your strikes—its resonance tied to the curse itself.

Feature Description: Shadow of the Lineage
You bear the weight of a curse that has haunted your family for generations. Ordinary threats do not unnerve you; only the haunting presence of the family curse can truly disturb you.
Your weapon records your personal deeds. Enemies you slay are etched into its form, forming a grim tapestry visible only to you. When passed to a new heir, these etchings reset. The weapon also resonates with the curse, guiding your strikes and bolstering your resolve in combat.
