You are slaad, but your mind has been preserved. While you feel like yourself, your new body is strange and alien to you. You hear unintelligible whispers from time to time, and your find dark urges pulling at your heartstrings. Every morning after a long rest, make a DC 13 INT saving throw. On a failure, gain 1 stack of mental corrosion. New effects take place at 3, and 5 stacks, and your DM will describe those at the time. Stacks of mental corrosion cannot be removed by any way short of a Wish spell.
You gain the following effects:
- Your STR is increased to 16
- Your CON is increased to 16
- Your CHA is reduced to 7
- You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects
- You have limited regeneration and regain 10 hit points at the start of your turn if you have at least 1 hit point.
In addition, you may make unarmed attacks using your STR modifier with the following attack:
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage. If the target is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be infected with a disease - a minuscule slaad egg.
A humanoid host can carry only one slaad egg to term at a time. Over three months, the egg moves to the chest cavity, gestates, and forms a slaad tadpole. In the 24-hour period before giving birth, the host starts to feel unwell, its speed is halved, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. At birth, the tadpole chews its way through vital organs and out of the host's chest in 1 round, killing the host in the process.
If the disease is cured before the tadpole's emergence, the unborn slaad is disintegrated.
