### Feat: Cancer's Embrace
**Prerequisite:** Must be a Cancer or have the Cancer trait.
**Benefit:** Your presence among the chosen ones remains shrouded in mystery, your true motivations and allegiances known only to yourself. Your mark of Cancer suggests a deeply intuitive and empathetic nature, but whether you will ultimately prove friend or foe remains to be seen.
**Dormant:**
- **Healing:** You learn the Cure Wounds spell. You can cast this spell without expending a spell slot. Once you cast this spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast this spell using spell slots you have. The spell’s spellcasting ability is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma when you cast it with this feat (choose when you gain the feat).
- **Protective Wings:** You can manifest protective wings that can shield you or others. When you or another creature you can see within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to manifest spectral wings from your back for a moment. You grant a bonus to the target’s AC equal to your proficiency bonus against that attack roll, potentially causing it to miss. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
**Awakened (Level 9):**
- **Planar Infusion:** You are influenced by and adept at navigating planar pathways and the strange realities of the Outer Planes. Whether planar essence infuses you or you have extraplanar ancestry, your connection to a plane infuses you with the energies found there. Choose a type of plane listed in the Planar Infusion table below. Your choice gives you resistance to a damage type and the ability to cast a cantrip, as specified in the table. You can cast this cantrip without material components, and your spellcasting ability for it is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (choose when you select this feat).
| Plane | Damage Resistance | Cantrip |
|---------------------|-------------------|--------------|
| Astral Plane | Psychic | Message |
| Chaotic Outer Plane | Necrotic | Minor Illusion |
| Evil Outer Plane | Necrotic | Chill Touch |
| Good Outer Plane | Radiant | Sacred Flame |
| Lawful Outer Plane | Radiant | Guidance |
| The Outlands | Psychic | Mage Hand |
**Complete (Level 13):**
- **Ability Score Increase:** Increase an ability score of your choice by 1 (can go over 20).
- **Soothe Pain:** When you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to dull its suffering and reduce the damage it takes by 2d10 + your proficiency bonus. You can use this benefit a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
