Gluttony

Gluttony

Prerequisite: Level 2 (DM approval recommended)

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points and it dies, you may use your reaction to Devour Essence and steal a fragment of its power. Roll 1d20 to determine the quality of the essence gained. The DM chooses an appropriate skill, trait, or spell from the slain creature.

• You can gain only one essence at a time.

• The essence lasts until your next long rest, unless stated otherwise.

• If you gain a spell you cannot normally cast, you may cast it once per long rest using your highest spellcasting ability (or Constitution if you lack one).

Essence Roll

• 2–9: Gain a weakened or situational version of an ability.

• 10–19: Gain a standard version of an ability.

• 20 (Natural): Gain the creature’s strongest or signature ability at full strength; it lasts 24 hours and can be used once without expending resources.

• 1 (Natural): Gain a corrupted ability that includes a drawback or debuff determined by the DM.
