In your time serving under the Beren, your training exposed the development of a very particular set of skills to which you were assigned a specific regimen determined by your most unique strengths. Choose from the table below, or roll a d8 to determine which of the specialties best suits you.

Because of your extensive and brutal upbringing during your time in the Beren, and the continued unerring training regimens therewith, you have a greater aptitude for most forms of combat. Choose one of the options listed under Close Quarters Combatant, and choose one of the options listed under the Martial Melee Weapon Proficiency section of this feature. You may choose only one from each section.

Close Quarters Combatant: Choose one of the following

• Your unarmed strike uses a d4 for damage.
• You may use Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice) for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
• You have advantage on attack rolls against a creature you are grappling.
• You have advantage on any Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check you make to escape from being grappled.

An Agogist whose time in the Beren which resulted in the tragic misfortune of emotional, psychological, and physical alienation to extreme levels become ill tempered, savage, inefficiently brutal, heartbroken, and are driven insane. The final result, as a graduate or not, is often categorized in simple terms; at one point or another the (now) Aggrieved partook of the flesh, meat, and bone of his fellow Agogists and allies, specifically those of their same race. They would consume their fellow's heart and liver as the final delicacy, imbibing the succulent juices oozing from each and every bite. These anthropophagus tendencies take a deep seated, problematic root in their conscience, invariably causing a corruption to the facsimile of their soul, adding a range of horrid afflictions including permanent psychological damage.

The Aggrieved is afflicted with a madness that infects their very way of life. Along with their normal background flaw, they are overcome with an additional character flaw from the Indefinite Madness table (listed below). This form of madness persists as an overwhelming sense of conscience which conflicts with their existing morals. The DM should encourage players to roleplay their inherited flaw when an opportunity presents itself, and it is up the the DM to determine whether or not this core representative of the mental instability can be cured, if at all.

Choose from the Indefinite Madness table below, or roll a d100 to determine the added affliction.

Indefinite Madness

The Aggrieved are tormented by their savage and nightmarish memories. Their state of mind does not forgive the haunting reality of consuming another creature of matching race and actively rebels at mental stagnation, as a once civilized conscience and primal mind now strongly conflict with one another in the absence of activity. If they ever try to willfully resist their Addictive Cannibalism, or suffer from one or more levels of exhaustion, the Aggrieved must roll a d100 on the Long-Term Madness table to determine a new temporary affliction as their grip on reality loosens.

Long-Term Madness

The Aggrieved makes a ritualistic banquet of a nearby corpse. The recently deceased must be within 5 feet of the Aggrieved, has died within the past minute, and is a creature who matches their own race. This addiction must be sated at least once per tenday.

Each creature that is within 30 feet of them who is not also an Agogist or an Aggrieved and is able to see them must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom Saving Throw, or be frightened of them for 1 minute. While frightened in this way, the creatures are incapacitated, can’t understand what others say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish from this temporary insanity; the DM controls the movement of an affected creature, which is erratic. The saving throw can be repeated at the end of each of the creature's turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the effects of Addictive Cannibalism for the next 24 hours. If the saving throw is failed by 5 or more, they suffer one level of exhaustion from the stress of viewing this feast undertaken with such voracity. If a 1 is rolled on the saving throw the affected creature suffers one level of exhaustion, and suffers from a short-term madness as the imagery of this cannibalistic endeavor burns itself into their mind.

The DM chooses from the Short-Term Madness table below, or rolls a d100 to determine the affliction.
