Abomination

Regardless of the story behind the curse or condition, few abominations are willing to show the other form they can manifest. Regardless of the race they were originally, the brand or curse they obtained causes them to lose their original form and become hideous beasts. Very few people would be tolerant of such a thing, and as such most abominations tend to hide their true nature and keep moving, to avoid people learning what they truly are. In battle, they are strong fighters who can take multiple blows for their allies, but should the stress become too much or the pain too staggering, they may have to show their secrets to survive.

Creating an Abomination

Were they a scientist in a past life that made a mistake? Perhaps a prisoner that was experimented on extensively, or mutated through witchcraft or magic? Or perhaps the mark was self-inflicted or by another party member as a last-ditch effort to survive? Either way, the abomination rarely willfully chooses to become such a thing.

Stress

The abomination tries to hide his affliction while he can, but in battle, under torture or interrogation the stress may start building. The more stress the abomination accumulates, the less of a grip he has on humanity. This is not necessarily a bad thing in battle, as using the stress the abomination may channel the beast within to turn the tides of battle, often at the detriment of himself.
The abomination acquires 1 stress point whenever he takes damage from an attack roll or when he fails a saving throw, except for damage received from himself or features of this class. The maximum amount of stress you can have at any one time is equal to your current level of the abomination class.
At level 1, the abomination can only hold onto 1 point of stress.
The Abomination's DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.
Additionally, some of the Abomination’s class features causes him to take psychic damage. This damage cannot be reduced by any means except when specifically stated and it ignores temporary hit points.

Malignant Mutation

The abomination channels his inner beast to deal more damage with his attacks. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding an abomination weapon (simple weapons and improvised weapons) and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield.

• You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or Abomination weapon. This die changes as you gain Abomination levels, as shown in the Mutation column of the Abomination Table.
• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or an Abomination weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Inhuman Bondage

Beginning at 1st level, while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Dexterity modifier. Additionally, you have resistance to poison damage and advantage on saves against poison.

Beast's Bile

At level 2, you know the Poison Spray Cantrip by regurgitation. Your muscular throat increases the range of this spell from 10 feet to 15 feet. As you gain levels, the damage of this spell increases as described in the Poison Spray Cantrip. At 3rd level you gain the ability to cast an additional cantrip determined by your manifestation.

Psych Up

Starting at 2nd level, the abomination can focus his bestial rage onto the task at hand, using his curse as a blessing to amplify his attacks. As a bonus action the abomination gains 2 stress points and takes 1d6 psychic damage to gain a +3 bonus to damage rolls until the end of his turn. At 9th level, this feature allows you to gain a +6 bonus to damage rolls but at the cost of gaining 4 stress points per use and taking 1d12 psychic damage. You may only use this feature once per turn.

Manifestation

At level 3, the beast can no longer be contained, and the abomination will morph from his normal form to his true form once the maximum amount of stress is achieved. The effects of the manifestation depend on what the abomination's true form is, but it always has the following traits.

• You gain resistance to a type of damage determined by your manifestation.
• Your unarmed strikes damage dice increase by one step (1d4>1d6>1d8>1d10>1d12).
• You gain reach with your unarmed strikes.
• At the start of your turn you will lose two stress point, once you have 0 stress point, you will revert into your original form.

If you can cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while transformed, except the ones granted by the Beast’s Bile feature. The transformation lasts if you have at least one stress point. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious, or you die. At this level, one manifestation must be chosen, and more abilities corresponding to the manifestation will be obtained on your journey. Whenever you leave manifestation form, you gain one level of exhaustion.

Damnation's Gift

By level 3, the Abomination is less their original race and more their manifestation by this point. When you go to 0 hit points from an attack or from failing a saving throw, you gain temporary hit points equal to your level plus your Constitution modifier, you go back up to 1 hit point, and you gain a full stack of stress, manifesting the inner beast instantly instead of dying. When this feature ends you gain two levels of exhaustion instead of one. This feature doesn’t trigger when you are already in manifestation form. This feature can only be used once per long rest.

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Absolution

At 6th level, the Abomination comes to the realization that in death he will not be able to protect anyone and decides to mend his wounds and take better care of himself. This feature can only be used once per Long Rest. By using an Action, and expending all his current stress points, the Abomination restores 1d12 hit points per stress point spent.

Eldritch Corrupted Strikes

Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Eldritch Blood

At 9th level, if the Abomination is heavily injured and has half or lower than his maximum hit points, he may as an action, choose to splatter his blood in a 15ft cube centered on himself, taking 1d12 psychic damage and gaining 3 stress points. All targets within the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a successful saving throw, the target completely evades the blood splatter. On a failed saving throw, the target takes 2d12 damage, the type of which is determined by your chosen manifestation. This ability can only be used once until the Abomination regains full hit points. At 13th level the damage he take increases to 2d12 and the damage it deals increases to 4d12 and he gains 6 stress, at 17th level the damage he takes increases to 3d12 and it deals 6d12 damage and he gains 9 stress, and finally at 19th level the damage he takes increases to 4d12 and the damage it deals increases to 8d12 and he gains 12 stress.

Savage Strike

At 10th level, you may now invoke an aspect of your manifestation to devastating effect, when you hit with an unarmed or melee abomination weapon attack, you can spend one stress point to deal an additional 1d6 damage, the type of which is determined by your manifestation, up to a total 5 stress points dealing a total of 5d6 damage of your manifestation’s damage type. You can only expend a number of stress points equal to your level divided by 4, rounded down. This can only be done an amount of times equal to your proficiency bonus before needing a Long Rest.

Ageless

At level 19, the Abomination’s mutated body has slowed his aging process to the point of non-existence, granting him immortality. He can't be aged normally, or by magic and the Abomination gains true-sight in his manifestation form out to 30 feet.

The Quickening

Having mastered his curse at level 20, the Abomination seeks to use it to decimate his enemies entirely wherever encountered. Channeling the foul eldritch powers within himself, as an Action, the Abomination gains the following effects.

• The Abomination gains a full stack of stress.
• The unarmed strikes of the Abomination deal an additional 1d6 of damage, the damage type being determined by his Savage Strike feature.
• When you use the Attack Action, you can make two unarmed strikes as a Bonus Action.
• When you first activate this ability, an aura of eldritch energy emanates from you as you unleash the full extent of your tainted form. All targets within 15ft must make a Wisdom saving throw or take 6d12 psychic damage as well as an additional effect associated with your manifestation. If they succeed on their saving throw, they only take half damage and do not suffer from the additional effect.

Unlike normal, the manifestation from this feature doesn’t end when his stress points go down to 0, instead this feature ends after 1 minute has passed, regardless of the amount of stress points he has. Additionally, when this manifestation ends, he does not gain a level of exhaustion. The Abomination can only use this feature once per Long Rest.

Manifestations

Beastial Manifestation

Feral Kind

At 3rd level, while the Abomination’s manifestation is active, your strength score increases by 2, but your intelligence is reduced by 4, this bonus and penalty increases and decreases respectively by 1 whenever your proficiency bonus increases. Additionally, you can now as a Bonus Action, Dash towards any hostile creature within sight.

Beast's Focus

Starting from 3rd level, the Abomination's mind becomes so focused on the task at hand while the manifestation is active, that it can completely shrug off all attempts to mind control or confuse the beast. If the abomination is Charmed or Frightened, he may use his Action and expend 3 stress point to end the effect. Additionally, the Abomination can quickly recover from the exhausting side-effects of his manifestation and extended exposure. Once per long rest, when the Abomination takes a Short Rest, he can reduce the amount of exhaustion he has by an amount equal to his proficiency bonus.

Feral Rage

Beginning at 7th level, the Abomination begins to gain more control over the bestial form, thus allowing more usage of its manifestation. This gives you access to two new natural weapons:

Kick: When attacking with your kick, you force the opponent to make a strength save or be pushed back 10ft. They have disadvantage on this save if you dashed during that turn. If used, Extra Attack cannot be used that turn.

Tail: When attacking with your tail, your Mutation damage dice acts as it would outside of your bestial form (no longer being 1 dice higher). However, the opponent must make a Constitution save or have disadvantage against attacks made against anyone but you until the start of your next turn as their vision is heavily obscured.

Unleash the Beast

At 13th level, you can as a Bonus Action, gain the maximum amount of stress points you can have, but you take 1d6 psychic damage per stress point gained. This feature can only be used once per long rest.

Go for the Throat

Additionally, when the Abomination does score a critical hit with his abomination weapons or his unarmed strikes, he can roll one additional damage die when determining the extra damage. The Abomination also gains 5 stress points whenever he scores a critical hit.

Alpha Wolf

At 18th level, the Abomination has become a deadly force and an even more deadly leader. Whenever you or an ally attacks a creature while within 30ft of you and there is a friendly creature next to the target, they can have advantage on their attack rolls. While the abomination is in manifestation form, he can expend 5 stress points to summon three wolves formed out of brambles and thorns, the stats for the wolves is the same as the Dire Wolf (PG321 MM), except it deals acid damage instead of piercing damage. The wolves act on their own initiative count and obeys the abomination’s commands. The wolves must remain within 30ft of the abomination, if they go farther then 30ft from the abomination their forms will collapse and will wither away. They remain active one hour after the abomination leaves it manifestation form.

Additional Feature Effects

• Beasts' Biles damage type changes to acid and you learn Acid Splash as the Abomination has acid liquids in its stomach.
  
• While manifesting, you gain resistance to acid damage, as your coat is particularly thick and slick against such corrosive liquids.
  
• Your Savage Strike’s damage type is acid damage, as even your very sweat is hot and corrosive to the touch.
  
• Eldritch Blood's damage type for the Abomination is acid damage, as their blood becomes a boiling tar like substance.

As an action, a creature affected restrained by the thorns can make a strength check to break out of the vines, another creature can also use their action to make a strength check to free the restrained creature. Additionally, the area around the abomination becomes difficult terrain with a 30ft radius centered on him, as thorny vines grow around the abomination. Also, whenever a creature moves through the difficult terrain they take 2d4 piercing damage.

Fiendish Manifestation

Daemonic Entity

At 3rd level, while your manifestation is active, a physical ability score of your choice and its maximum score is increased by 2, but a corresponding mental ability score and its maximum score is reduced by 6, this bonus and penalty increases and decreases respectively by 1 whenever your proficiency bonus increases. Additionally, a fiery aura surrounds you while you are manifesting making it so that when a creature hits you with a melee attack, they take fire damage equal to your Constitution bonus (rounded down). (Strength-Intelligence, Dexterity-Wisdom, Constitution-Charisma)

Fiendish Pact

Starting at 3rd level, the Abomination can summon a fiendish familiar to aid him in his goals. The familiar remains until you manifest, this causes the familiar to disappear until the manifestation ends. The form which your familiar takes is either a quasit (PG63 MM) or an imp (PG76 MM). As an action, you can sense through your familiar’s senses, allowing you to hear and see through its eyes and ears, but while doing this you are blind and/or deaf. You can also communicate telepathically with your familiar as long as it is on the same plane of existence as you.

Devilish Gamble

At 7th level, the Abomination can make an infernal deal granting him a boon to one his abilities at the cost of his other abilities. As a bonus action, you can expend 3 stress points to be able to add a 1d6 to all of his ability checks, saving throws, or attacks for 1 minute, at the cost of subtracting a 1d6 to his rolls whenever he rolls for the other two options. This feature can be ended as an action on his turn, but ending it early causes you to gain 6 stress points.
