Cursed Vessels have the appearance of the original race who has consumed the cursed object, but generally having markings around their face and arms, or having other unnatural features.
History[edit]
Cursed Vessels are born from incarnation, which happens when the remains of a sorcerer have become a cursed object and are ingested by someone. It is best described as the fusion between a cursed object and human flesh. In most cases, the host's body is completely taken over and their consciousness is completely suppressed. The incarnated individual receives memories, knowledge and common sense from their vessel's brains.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]
Cursed Vessels almost always have some form of objective, making sure that when they revive they will chase this goal even if it means killing everything in their sight.
Cursed Vessel Names[edit]
Cursed Vessels don't have a specific set of names, just using their original name that they had when alive.

The living vessels are a rarity, as resisting cursed objects is an extremely hard task. However, once a creature resists a cursed object, they become vessels for them. It usually leads to a life of suffering due to sharing a body with someone who wants to overtake it.

You will gain new features to your body that resemble the object in its first life depending on its strength, such as small slits under your eyes where two new pairs of eyes may open, or faint lightning marks on your face. You will gain one body feat of the DM’s choice that the Cursed Object Possesses. This can also be a non-body feat that directly pertains to the body, such as The Energy to Blood feat.

For some reason or another, the cursed object inside symbiotic vessels does not take over said person. They instead form a type of symbiotic relationship with the vessel.

You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all uses after taking a long rest.
Incomplete Vessel[edit]
Owner's Will. When you possessed your body, the host wasn't willing to give the body to you so it would try to stop you by limiting your power. Whenever you use any features from your original body (such as your cursed technique) to cause harm to creatures or things that the body owner had affection for, you'll have a massive decrease in power. Your damage is reduced to 1/10 of its total whenever you deal damage (rounded up), and your range is reduced to 1/10 of its maximum (rounded to the nearest 5) unless its touch range.
Destruction of Will. There is a way to remove the host's will to live completely, by utilizing this method you can submerge the body into darkness. The first thing you must do is submerge yourself in a pool full of blood during an entire short rest. The second thing is to kill a loved one of said creature using only its features, or destroying the thing it was most affectionate towards in life. After doing both things, their soul will sink in the darkness and they shall lose their will to life. You then become a Complete Vessel.
Complete Vessel[edit]
Soul Damage. You have learned how to utilize the soul trapped inside of you to negate damage. You have a pool of hit points equal to the maximum hit points of the creature you're possessing used to have. Whenever you receive damage, you can spend cursed energy up to your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus to remove 10 hit points from the pool per cursed energy spent. The damage is reduced to the amount spent. You regain all the hit points in the pool after taking a long rest.
