I'm DMing for the first time and one of my players ate a piece of Havok's flesh (God of Ruination). I'm really not sure what side effects this should have but I almost want it to be something that has some sort of negative effect. Does anyone have any ideas https://mobdro.bio/ ?
Shrivel an arm. Anything the character touches falls into ruin after 3 days if not wearing a specific type of glove that is costly and lasts a month before it is ruined.
God of ruination made me think of the ruin card from deck of many things:
All forms of wealth that you carry or own, other than magic items, are lost to you. Portable property vanishes. Businesses, buildings, and land you own are lost in a way that alters reality the least. Any documentation that proves you should own something lost to this card also disappears.
But it is part of a god, so maybe also a power. For ruination, maybe they can cast bane 1/day without using a spell slot. Probably con for the casting stat. Or if they are a caster, their normal stat to keep things simple.

Curse of Ruination When you finish a long rest without having physically or financially ruined another creature since your previous long rest, then one of your arms has shriveled and appears dead & decayed during the rest. While you have a shriveled arm, you have disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks and saving throws that use your Strength but when you hit a creature with a weapon attack you can use your reaction to deal an additional 2d4 necrotic damage to the target.
If both of your arms become shriveled you can no longer hold any weapon, object, or piece of equipment that weighs more than 1 lb.

I'd remove the strength clause from that curse simply because we don't know what the character's build is and limiting the effect to strength-based attacks only means that it's entirely too likely that it won't actually hinder them.

"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
