Path of the Hungerer

You have absorbed a fragment of the Hungerer's soul, an ancient and ravenous dragon whose essence embodies endless hunger, decay and corrosive destruction. Its insatiable appetite now lives within you, slowly intertwining with your own soul and granting you a fraction of its terrible power. As you grow stronger, the Hungerer's influence becomes increasingly difficult to contain, transforming your body, corrupting your surroundings and twisting your instincts. What begins as a mere whisper of hunger gradually develops into an overwhelming force, until you become something far more monstrous than mortal.

Aura of dread

Starting at 3rd level, you radiate an aura of terror when you rage. When you enter your rage, each creature within 15 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or be frightened of you for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

You are immune to the frightened condition.

Withering hide

The Hungerer's soul begins to corrupt your physical form, hardening your flesh with draconic scales infused with necrotic energy.

You gain resistance to necrotic damage. Additionally, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, it takes necrotic damage equal to your Constitution modifier.

Corrosive presence

The Hungerer's corruption seeps from your body, poisoning the very ground beneath your feet. Wherever you walk, the earth withers and decays.

While raging, the path you walk becomes difficult terrain for creatures other than you. The corrupted ground remains until your rage ends.

Additionally, once per rage, you can use a bonus action to unleash a burst of corrosive energy. Each creature within 10 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 acid damage, or half as much on a successful save. The area within 10 feet of you becomes corrupted ground, turning into difficult terrain for creatures other than you. This corrupted ground remains until your rage ends.

Avatar of Hunger

The Hungerer's soul has fully taken hold of your body, granting you monstrous strength and an insatiable appetite for destruction. Your physical form has become an extension of the dragon's ravenous will.

You ignore all restrictions associated with wielding two-handed weapons, allowing you to wield them in one hand without penalty, and you deal an extra 1d6 necrotic damage with melee weapon attacks.

Additionally, you can use your unarmed strikes in place of one of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action. Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 slashing or piercing damage, depending on the body part used to attack. Whenever you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you regain hit points equal to the damage dealt.
