Homebrew Cursed Being V.2 Species Details
Cursed Beings are typically humans or mostly human beings who sacrifices their humanity for power. These cursed beings are almost exclusively Warlocks, giving up their own bodies to be reformed into conduits of power. Typically taking looks similar to that of Tieflings or Demons, they are horned, winged beings with skin that is typically dark gray, or deep red. Cursed Beings keep practically all of their human characteristics that are not physical characteristics, like their personalities, alignments, and memories. These beings are extremely rare, as many who would give up their humanity for power do not survive the process of transformation, as the pain is too unbearable. Those that do survive typically enter a comatose or brain-dead state from the sheer pain, and are quickly disposed of by their Patrons. The few that are able to endure the pain are believed to have some of the highest will powers, both in body and mind.
Cursed Being V.2 Traits
Sacrifice for PowerAge
Due to the physiological strain the body undergoes during the transformation, Curse Beings are considered "Reborn." Therefore, they are usually granted a new lifespan of 100 years, with their patron adding or removing life force as they please. In theory, a Cursed Being could live forever, provided they please their patron, and don't get killed.
Alignment
Due to their previously human nature, Cursed Beings do not have a set alignment. They may fall anywhere, but are often assumed to be evil because of their new bodies.
Size
Curse Beings are often taller than their previously human selves. Most fall between 6 and 7 feet tall. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is that of your previously Human self. 30 feet is your walking speed.
Harbinger of Fear
Due to your nightmarish physique, and extreme rarity, most people do not understand what you are and will treat you as such. You likely will be met with stares, discrimination, and fear. However, those that do know what you went through in order to become a Cursed Being will likely have a twisted sense of respect for the pain you endured, and the willpower it took in both body and mind to overcome the transformation.
Ability Score Increase
When you gave up your body for power, you underwent physical changes. This allows you to better attune your new body to your new power, adding +2 to one Ability Score, and +1 to two ability scores.
Darkvision
Your body underwent physiological changes as part of your pact with your patron. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Intimidating Presence
As a result of the physiological changes within your body, you are seen as nightmare fuel. You gain proficiency in Intimidation.
Language
Due to your overflowing knowledge granted to you by your Patron, you are able to read and write: Common, Abyssal, and one language of your choice.
Cursed Wings
Because of the wings that you have been gifted, you have a flight speed of 30 feet.
Cursed Pain Tolerance
Due to the overwhelming pain of transformation, you are naturally tolerant to pain. This is evident in your armor class adding your constitution modifier when unarmored.
Cursed Body
Because of your new body, you have some new weaknesses as well. You have vulnerability to Cold and Radiant damage.
Cursed Second Heart
As part of your transformation, you are granted a second heart. This heart allows you once per long rest to keep your HP at 1 in a situation which would typically knock you to 0. This ability also allows you once per long rest to be knocked directly to 0 HP instead of instantly dying when hit with damage that is more than double your HP. If you are hit with damage that is more than triple your HP, or the damage being dealt is Radiant damage, this effect does not work.
