Touch of Death

Character optionVRGRp. 262014

Your touch is pain, harming whoever you come in contact with. The deathly power within you is beyond your control, afflicting any who touch your bare skin. By the same token, you can deliver death to your enemies with your touch.

Roll on or choose an option from the Deadly Touch table to determine how this Dark Gift presents itself. Additionally, you gain the traits that follow.

Deadly Touch

d6Manifestation
1Your body is alchemically or biologically altered, infusing you with deadly chemicals.
2The magic of a slighted druid or fey makes small plants wither and insects die in your presence.
3You're the harbinger of a grim prophecy. Any creature your touch damages is marked with a temporary scar of a group, fiend, deity, or other force that takes an interest in you.
4You survived a near-death experience—but shouldn't have. Ever since, death and ill omens follow you.
5You are out of sync with time or reality. Anything you touch is warped by the distortion.
6Every time you touch a creature, you hear the laughter of someone you once harmed.

Death Touch

You can focus your deadly touch against your foes. As an action, make one unarmed strike. On a hit, the target takes an additional 1d10 necrotic damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

Inescapable Death

When you hit a target with an attack roll and deal necrotic damage, you ignore the target's resistance to that damage.

Withering Contact

When you start your turn grappling a creature or grappled by it, the creature takes 1d10 necrotic damage.
