Boons:
- Whenever you kill any creature, you may expend a charge of your phylactery and apply an additional effect as their soul leaves their body. This ability cannot be used when you kill a Construct, Undead, or any creature without a soul.
Choose one of the following effects when you use this ability:
- Life Force. As the soul of your enemy leaves their body, you siphon off part of their life force. You regain 1d6 hit points per Transformation Stage you have.
- Wither. Choose a creature within 30 feet of the killed creature. That creature takes 1d6 necrotic damage per Transformation Stage you have.
- Exhaustion. Choose a creature within 30 feet of the killed creature. That creature gains one Exhaustion level. A creature may only have one Exhaustion level from this feature at a time.
Flaws:
- Your appearance has grotesquely transformed. Your flesh withers and contracts around your bones, your eyes become sunken, and your features turn more pale. Regardless of your true form, you are horrific to behold.
You can suspend this form and manifest the appearance of the creature you once were, but this is taxing and requires effort to maintain. This form is not permanent, and moments of stress are likely to reveal your true nature. Your true form may be revealed in the following situations:
- Becoming Bloodied.
- Concentrating on a spell.
- Entering hollowed ground.
- Choosing to reveal yourself.
In these events, or times of other extreme emotional or physical stress, a GM can call for you to make a Constitution saving throw with a DC based on your current transformation stage. If you fail this save, your Horrific Appearance is revealed.
