Astrum Mentis Infection

Through your travels as a traveling merchant, you have been infected with the magical fungus, Astrum Mentis. You've heard stories of this fungus as a child; it is fatally infectious to all Formicar with no known cure. You know little of its symptoms, but know they are brutal and painful. You can never return to the great nest now that you are marked for death by your infection. Though you are in the earlier stages of infection, you can already feel its symptoms. Purple and Blue mold-like substance has formed around your joints, restricting your finer motor functions, and you have a persistent cough, though you can't help but feel your mind is clearer than it ever has been. 

You gain the following effects:

• Your Dexterity score decreases by 2.
• Your Intelligence score increases by 2.
• You have disadvantage on Persuasion Checks.
• You have disadvantage on Constitution saving throws.
• You have resistance to poison damage.
• Other Formicar who see your infection will immediately try to move as far away from you as possible and become hostile, but not aggressive.
