Creating a Necromorfo

When creating a Necromorfo, Keep in mind that at the beginning the Necromorph is nothing more than an ordinary person, and initial help is necessary so that you can evolve as a whole. How did your character become one Necromorfo? Did it happen through some Ritual, or he was simply born that way? Does your character hate all life because they see themselves as better, or does your character love life, and see it as a sacred thing that they themselves can alter? Answer these questions as you make your character.

Biological Template

At 1st level, due to your transformation into the Biological Apex, your stats have equaled out in order to keep your new body stable. Add all of your ability scores together and then divide by 5 (rounded up). That is the new score for ALL of your ability scores, Additionally, the cap for each of your ability scores is 22 rather than 20.

Predatory Evolution

Also at 1st level, you are able to take and/or replace the racial traits of any creatures (other than undead, aberrations, and constructs) after they have reached 0 hit points (and you make physical contact with them or a piece of them) and give them to yourself. Traits at this level are considered any racial trait or action that a creature can take. Additionally, you can’t take movement speeds or vision types. For instance, if a frog was reduced to 0 hit points, you would be able to take its ability to breathe in air and water. You can choose to “turn off” any of these traits as a Free action and reactivate them as a bonus action as well. If there is any confusion with this feature, default to the ruling of your DM. You can only take and/or replace one trait at a time, and cannot take a trait from a creature that's been dead for more than a day. (Predatory Evolution Limit = the number on the chart for your level + an ability score of your choice).

Armored Adaptation

At 2nd level, you can add one ability modifier of your choice to your AC. You can change which ability modifier this is after a long rest remembering that your AC for not wearing armor is 10 + Dextr.

New Mind

At level 3, you attune to the spells used by the target. You store spells in special traits, and the number of these special traits is half of your total traits (rounded up). Each spell occupies a number of slots equal to spell level. You can cast each stored spell a total number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus, recovering them after a long rest.

The spell save DC for your spells is 10 + your Proficiency bonus + a inteligence modifier + arcanism.

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. You can increase the ability score past 20 thanks to the Biological Template,

Late proficiency

At level 4, you can now steal the Proficiencies and skills that the target had, Taking a skill you already have makes you have expertise in it

Extra Attack

At 5th level, and again at 11th, you gain an additional attack.

Shaping your flesh

At 5th level, you gain the ability to shape your flesh to resemble items and replicate them. as a bonus action when you have an item in hand, you can make an Intelligence test to analyze it and attempt to reproduce it. The DC is 10 + X (the DC increases by +2 for the size of the item). Creating an item costs life, the cost of creating items is reduced by your constitution modifier :

Size	Damage
Small	1
Medium	5
Large	10
Giant	15
Gargantum	30

Failing the test results in twice the cost. Magical items have an additional cost increase of +3. Items generated this way last for 1 day. You can choose to create any number of items with a bonus action as long as they are the same size This duration increases to 1 week at 10th level, 1 month at 15th level, and indefinitely at 20th level.

Convergent Evolution

At 6th level, your Predatory Evolution allows you to take movement and vision types, such as swimming speeds and tremorsense.

The cap on your ability scores is now 24 rather than 22.

Abiotic Factor

Also at 6th level, you no longer have to eat, sleep, or breathe in order to survive. When taking a short or long rest, you simply cannot do any strenuous activity for said amount of time, and you will get the full benefit. If your long rest is interrupted, it will count as a short rest.

Hematophagic Mutation

At 7th level, you heal an amount equal to half the damage you do to a creature. Any healing that would usually be lost due to you reaching maximum health becomes temporary HP. If you have a severed limb, or are transformed into stone, poisoned, charmed or bewitched by some magic or any Debuff you can spend 10 hit points as a reaction to remove a condition and fully restore your body to original form.

Reflection of yourself

New Body

This part serves as a sort of anchor. With another bonus action, you rapidly regenerate where the part is, losing an additional 1d4 and discarding your previous body. If you fall to 0 hit points and have an anchor, you regenerate from it, with half of your life but with 1 level of exhaustion.

Biomass Storage
