Necrotic Flow

Through the embrace of darkness, you’ve unlocked the sinister force known as Necrotic Flow. Unlike Positive Energy, this malevolent power thrives on corruption, decay, and destruction. It manifests as a dark, oppressive aura that harms those connected to light and life. While often wielded by those of malevolent intent, it is a power you now control, using it to inflict suffering and empower yourself. Necrotic Flow feeds on the souls of the living, and its presence is a harbinger of death and despair.

Gravebloom Lure: NF Cost: 2, Range: 10 feet, Effect: A luminescent flower that charms enemies within a 10-foot radius. Any creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of the flower must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure: the creature is charmed by the flower until the start of its next turn and must use its movement to get as close to the plant as possible without entering harmful terrain (DM’s discretion).

Support plants Famine Root: NF Cost: 3, Range: range of domain currently within, Effect: At the start of your turn, this plant drains vitality from creatures inside your Virulent Domain. Each creature within the Virulent Domain takes necrotic damage equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain hit points equal to the total damage dealt this way. Infestation Spore: NF Cost: 5, Range: 60 feet, Effect: Upon creation, the Infestation Spore is a writhing mass of flesh and spores that can launch a lump of infestation flesh once per turn. As a bonus action, you can fire a lump of infestation flesh to a point within 30 feet.

Pestilence Overgrowth

At 10th level, your Plagued Domain becomes an even more oppressive and hazardous environment. Whenever a creature takes damage inside your domain, they must make a Constitution saving throw against your save DC (8 + proficiency + con mod). On a failed save, they are affected by a random toxic effect, either chosen by you or rolled by the DM (depending on your preference). On a successful save, the creature avoids the effect. The toxic effects are as follows:

• Poisoned: The creature gains the poisoned condition until the start of their next turn, and any attack rolls against them have advantage while they are poisoned.
• Weakened: The creature has disadvantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws until the end of their next turn, and they take an additional 1d4 necrotic damage at the start of their next turn.
• Sickened: The creature is unable to regain hit points until the end of their next turn. Additionally, the creature suffers disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks while affected.
• Rotten Limbs: The creature's limbs become stiff with rot. Until the start of their next turn, the creature’s movement speed is reduced by 10 feet and they cannot take reactions.

Rejuvenation of the Domain

• Vigorous Growth: The AC of all plants you create within the domain is increased by 2.
• Regenerative Resilience: Plants within your domain heal at the start of your turn for an amount equal to your Constitution modifier.
• Viral Regrowth: When a plant is destroyed within your domain, it reverts back to a partially healed state at the start of your turn (or after 1 round) with hit points equal to your Constitution modifier, Regardless of the damage that killed it unless it was purely radiant damage, it is outright destroyed. This regrowth only happens once per long rest per plant.
