Contamination Score
Each time you take interact with corrupted places or magic, or use a Crone-Touched feature, make a DC 12 Constitution save. On a failure, you gain 1 Contamination Score (max 12). Additionally, you gain a Contamination point when you touch upon your forbidden deal to perform one of the following:
- Up-cast a spell by 2 levels.
- Add 1 extra damage dice to a spell-cast/attack. In case their are multiple damage types (e.g d8 and a d6), choose the highest of the dice types.
- Automatically roll max damage on a spell-cast/attack.
- Regain a spell slot (any).
- Automatically succeed any D20 roll.
You may perform multiple such deeds at once, however you receive the according amount of contamination.
Boons of the Crone
- Learn Druidcraft and one of: Thorn Whip, Hex, or Disguise Self (your spell list).
- Add your Contamination Score to one ability check roll per turn.

For each even-numbered Contamination level (2, 4, 6), roll a mutation on the minor mutations table below.
Crone's Bargain (1/day)
Once per long rest, whisper a secret or offer blood to your patron to reroll a failed save, regain a spell slot, or ignore components.
Flesh Anathema (Optional at Contamination 3) (1/long rest)
To activate this, the player must recite the following: “Meat remembers. Bone remembers. We stitch you from their end.”
You gain +3 Contamination score. Can be cast while unconscious/incapacitated/stunned/paralyzed.
Once per long rest, as an action, you can activate Witchflesh Harvest for 1 minute. During this time, you gain a series of buffs based on how many creatures are affected by your flesh-draining aura.
- Each creature within 30 feet must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier).
- On a failed save, a creature takes 4d10 necrotic damage, and you harvest its meat and bones.
- On a successful save, they take half damage.
- You can harvest up to 5 creatures per pulse.
For each creature harvested you gain the following:
- +20 temp HP per creature.
- Bloodcasting (utilize 5 hp/spell slot instead of normal slots - HP loss ignores resistances but cannot reduce you below 1 HP - cannot be concentration spells).
- Bone Rend (melee attack) (add you spell modifier to your attack roll, 5ft range, 5d10 slashing)(attacks considered magical).
Crone’s Vessel (Optional at Contamination 6)
