Invisible Force. Creatures without levels in the Jujutsu Sorcerer class or who cannot see into the ethereal plane cannot see the curse. Although, if these creatures were in a life and death situation (less than half their maximum hit points), they gain the ability to see the curse. Hard to Kill (2/long rest). If the curse were reduced to 0 hit points, they can choose to drop to 1 hit point instead and are considered stable, even against effects or features that would normally kill them outright. Famous Name. Whenever the curse rolls initiative, they may force every hostile creature that can see them to make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they are frightened of it for one minute. They can reroll this saving throw in the beginning of their turns to end the condition early. On a success, they are immune to this feature for 24 hours. Sadism. Whenever the Needle Curse deals damage to someone who is frightened of it, half of the total damage will be converted in temporary hit points to themselves. These temporary hit points cannot go above 13. Improved Body Functions. All radiant damage that the curse receives is reduced by 11. Medical Conditions. Some features of the curse use the effects described below. These effects can all be applied at the same time to a creature and some of them can stack with themselves for further effects, as described. A creature affected with any of these effects may repeat the saving throw that initially caused them individually at the end of their turns, ending the effect on a success, unless otherwise stated (such as the effect being instantaneous). Additionally, a creature affected with any of these effects is poisoned.
Fatal Overdose. Every time a creature is inflicted with a Medical Condition by the Needle Curse, they gain 1 level of Overdose, which each can only be removed by the creature healing themselves 20 hit points with Reverse Cursed Technique or other types of healing. Alternatively, all Overdose levels are removed after a long rest or if a Positive Energy Master uses their Just Unbreak It feature on the creature. Upon reaching 5 + their Constitution modifier Overdose levels, the creature suffers a Fatal Overdose, suffering 10d10 poison damage and falling unconscious as if they were reduced to 0 hit points, having to make death saving throws to avoid death as normal. This poison damage overcomes resistances and immunities.
Feats. Improved Body Functions, Cursed Biology Improved Cursed Energy Output, Cursed Projectiles Improved Durability. This creature uses the Improved Durability rule. Not Canon. The Needle Curse is not an official cursed spirit demonstrated in the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise, it was completely made up by the people working behind this supplement. It is intended to populate campaigns in an absence of enough official material, and as such was properly balanced for any DM to use in their Jujutsu Campaign. |
