An overwhelming well of violence and ill-will builds up inside you. Every wrong you’ve ever suffered consumes your mind and soul—coalescing in your hands, creating an electric current of hatred that makes your hands vibrate with power. A gravelly voice inside your head whispers to you, feeding your vitriol, and telling you that with one touch you can thrust the force of your anger at one creature of your choosing. This electric force lives at the edges of your awareness, ever-present in your fingertips— ready to be unleashed against whomever you choose. The beneficiary of this gift bears a burned scar on their face that resembles a handprint.
Storm of Hate. You learn the shocking grasp cantrip if you don’t already know it and require no component to cast it. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice when you gain this Dark Gift).
Retaliation. When a creature hits you with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make a melee attack against them with a weapon you are holding. Once you’ve used this Dark Gift in this way, you can’t do so again until you’ve completed a long or short rest.
Burdened by Rage. Immediately after you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, and roll a 1 on the d20, roll on the Negative Effect table to determine how the storm ofhate affects you.
