Your charisma score decreases by 2  due to your ever-shifting and grotesque appearance unsettling those around you.

Your Size is Medium.

Your Speed is 30 feet.

Your ever-shifting eyes grant you unnatural vision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in total darkness as if it were dim light. However, your vision is warped by the chaotic nature of your form, causing occasional flickers of false movement at the edges of your perception.

Unstable Evolution – Your chaotic form continuously mutates. At each level, you may choose to grow a new limb or appendage of your choice, such as an extra arm, a prehensile tail, additional eyes, etc. The limb functions naturally but may not always form as expected, occasionally manifesting with minor flaws or unexpected traits.

Your body strains under the instability. Each time you gain a new appendage, roll a d6 and suffer one of the following drawbacks:

1. Flesh Strain – You lose 1d4 maximum HP.

2. Twitching Growths – You take a permanent -1 penalty to Dexterity as your body struggles to coordinate with its new parts.

3. Horrific Deformity – You take a permanent -1 penalty to Charisma due to your increasingly grotesque appearance.

4. Painful Mutation – You take 1d6 damage as your body painfully reshapes itself.

5. Unstable Nerves – You have disadvantage on future saving throws.

6. Favorable Growth – The mutation stabilizes perfectly, and you suffer no negative effects.

As your form shifts and mutates, you grow additional limbs or appendages that are fully functional. These limbs are capable of performing actions and attacks like a normal limb, but they come with drawbacks in combat due to the instability of your body. With each new limb, you are forced to adapt, but it is not a perfect process. These appendages are prone to unpredictable shifts in form and functionality, often requiring you to adjust mid-fight. Here are the specific penalties you may experience during combat:

Combat Penalty:

• Accuracy: When using a limb for an attack, you take a -1 penalty to your attack rolls for each extra limb used. The extra limb isn't as finely tuned as your natural limbs, making it harder to land precise strikes or defend yourself effectively.

• Selective Damage Reduction:

  • If you only attack with your original limbs, there is no damage penalty.

  • If you use a mutated limb to attack in the same turn, all attacks (including those from original limbs) suffer a penalty equal to the number of mutated limbs used that turn.

  • Example: A character with two mutated limbs makes attacks using both their original arms and one mutated limb. Since one mutated limb is used, all attacks that turn take -1 to damage. If two mutated limbs are used, all attacks take -2 to damage instead.

• Clumsy Handling: If you use the additional limb for any non-attack related actions (e.g., grappling, picking up objects), it requires a higher DC to succeed, as the limb may not function as efficiently as your other limbs. Add a +2 modifier to any DC for checks involving that limb.

• Increased Difficulty: Attacks made with the additional limb are awkward, and your focus is often split between your limbs. This makes it harder to concentrate on fighting with a fluid, coordinated strategy. After attacking with mutated limbs, you suffer disadvantage on your next attack roll made with the same limb before your next turn. The extra appendage is not as agile or smooth as your other limbs, making it harder to recover from your attack.

• Fumble Chance: If you roll a 1 on an attack roll made with the mutated limb, your attack fails catastrophically, and you accidentally strike yourself, dealing half of the damage you would have inflicted on the original target. This self-inflicted damage is a reflection of the instability and lack of control over the new limb.
