Cursed of the Abyss are beings that at some point in their lives came across powerful beings from the abyss, when they found such beings their minds and bodies were impregnated with their black energy, corroding them and transforming them into uncontrollable beasts. Upon being cursed, the being can choose to embrace its curse or lock it under a thousand keys. Upon accepting the curse, his powers are limited by not being able to exceed the limits that his body and mind can withstand, but if he refuses to transform, he will become a powerful yet savage beast. Such a curse can only be cured by the power of the Abyss's own god and creator.
Transformation[edit]
When receiving this curse, the player or the master must choose a trigger for the transformation to occur, even if the curse is accepted when this trigger happens, the player must succeed on a DC 18 Charisma check, on a failure the player enters the form " Does not accept" the curse and completely loses awareness of its attacks, focusing on attacking and killing the one who caused the trigger, and if the DM made it happen suddenly, without someone triggering it, the DM has full control. On a success those who accepted the curse remain in humanoid form, those who refuse will be "stable" and every beginning of the turn the player must repeat the test. Those who accepted the curse can use their action to transform. If the transformation is happening soon and you didnt command it, you can tell it is gonna happen because your arms suddenly puff up with feathers.
