Endurance. Whenever the Cockroach Curse makes a Constitution saving throw, it takes half as much damage on a failure and no damage on a success.

Invisible Force. The Cockroach Curse is entirely made out of cursed energy, meaning they cannot be seen by normal people. Creatures without levels in the Jujutsu Sorcerer class or who cannot see into the ethereal plane cannot see the Cockroach Curse.

On a success, they are immune to this feature for 24 hours.

Sadism. Whenever the Cockroach 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 20.

Secondary Arms. The Cockroach Curse counts as one size larger when determining its carrying capacity and the weight it can push, drag, or lift whilst it have these secondary arms. It can make an additional attack using one of these additional arms as apart of the same action once per turn.

Strengthen Wings. Whenever the Cockroach Curse is falling and is not incapacitated, it can subtract up to 100 feet from its fall when calculating its fall damage and can move horizontally 2 feet for every 1 foot it falls.

Fearsome Appearance. The Cockroach Curse gains advantage on all checks and saves to resist the frightened condition. Creatures have disadvantage on checks against being frightened by it if it rolls Intimidation.

Improved Body Functions. All radiant damage that the Cockroach Curse receives is reduced by 22.

Cursed Armor. The Cockroach Curse can spend up to 8 cursed energy to give itself temporary hit points equal to the cursed energy spent times 10 for 1 minute. The Cockroach Curse can only benefit from this feature again after 1 minute or having its temporary hit points reduced to 0.(No action required)

Cursed Strike. When making an Unarmed Strike, the Cockroach Curse may spend up to 6 Cursed Energy, adding 1d8 Necrotic damage to its damage. This may also be used when it hits a Nat 20. This energy persists until it hits a target or 1 minute has passed.

If there are not any solid surfaces, the Cockroach Curse may use half of its movement speed to drop to the ground on his hands, extending its legs up and making a powerful kick.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The Cockroach Curse makes three attacks. This increases by one attack up to a maximum of six attacks with the Festering Life Sword for every Festering Life Sword the curse is wielding.

In addition, the Cockroach Curse can launch an egg into someone as a part of an attack. Doing this deals an extra 27 (6d8) necrotic damage as the hatches out of the target and creates a Larva. Leaving this larva alone for 1 full turn gives it time to evolve into a Nutshell Shikigami. To prevent this evolution, the target must kill the larva. There are 6 eggs in each sword. It can spend 8 cursed energy to refill all 6 eggs in one sword.

Spit Goop (6 Cursed Energy). The Cockroach Curse spits out a 60-foot cone of the same goop in its Shikigami.

When the explosion is caused this way, the range is increased to 10 feet.

Devouring Swarm (2-12 Cursed Energy). While the Cockroach Curse has at least two swarm of cockroaches within 5 feet of each other, it may spend up to 12 cursed energy to combine them together into a Devouring Swarm. For each swarm added, the Devouring Swarm adds its hit dice again and can do another bite attack. For example, a Devouring Swarm with three swarms added would have 30 hit dice and could make three bite attacks. Additionally, every two swarms added increases the size category of the Devouring Swarm.

The Cockroach Curse without any Life Festering Swords[[1]]
Chanting

The Cockroach Curse is capable of making recitations of chanting with its cursed technique.

The Cockroach Curse may choose one of its Innate Technique features and recite one of its chants as an Action. The next time it uses that Innate Technique Feature that has a recitation after chanting within two turns, it will gain two of the following benefits of its choice:

  • Its technique will ignore resistances and treat immunities as resistances.
  • It may double the original Range, Width, or Radius of its Technique.
  • It may triple the original Range, Width, or Radius of its Technique. (It must have doubled the range already through Chanting in order to apply this bonus).
  • If the Innate Technique feature requires a saving throw, the target(s) makes their save at disadvantage. It also raises the DC by its proficiency bonus for that saving throw.
  • If its Innate Technique feature has it make an attack roll, it gains advantage on that attack roll and may add its proficiency bonus to that roll an extra time.
  • The cost of its Innate Technique feature is halved.
  • Its Innate Technique will ignore all forms of cover.
  • Its Innate Technique’s Action cost will be lowered by 1 (Ex. Full Round Action -> Action -> Bonus Action -> Free Action). If the feature is a Reaction and its Action Cost is reduced it will gain an extra Reaction specifically for that feature. (It must be Complex Chanting in order to apply this bonus)
  • The duration of its Innate Technique feature is doubled.
  • The duration of its Innate Technique feature is tripled. (It must have doubled the duration already through Chanting in order to apply this bonus).
  • If an Innate Technique feature inflicts damage by causing a target to make a save, it will ignore features such as Evasion if they fail the save by 5 or more. (It must be Complex Chanting in order to apply this bonus).
  • The cost of its Innate Technique feature is reduced to ¼. (It must be Complex Chanting in order to apply this bonus)(It must have halved the cost already through Chanting in order to apply this bonus. This reduction does not stack with the ½ reduction, but replaces it).
  • If its Innate Technique feature would force its opponent to make a saving throw, they roll 3 dice instead of one and take the lowest result for the roll. (It must be Complex Chanting in order to apply this bonus).
  • If its Innate Technique feature would have it make an Attack roll, it may roll 3 dice instead of 1 and take the highest result for the roll. (It must be Complex Chanting in order to apply this bonus).

Every subsequent turn it spends its Action chanting the technique it will gain another two bonuses of its choice. The chanted technique may only have a number of bonuses applied to it equal to 7. In addition, the chanted Innate Technique feature will have its final damage boosted by 20% per round it spent chanting. (After all the dice have been rolled, multiply the total damage(s) by 1.2). This damage bonus is capped at 100%. (2x Damage).

Rather than using an action, it can perform a more complex variation of Chanting that combines both complex hand signs and delicate recitations as a Full Round Action. When Chanting in this manner it may add four bonuses from the above list to the chanted technique, and every subsequent turn it spends a Full Round Action chanting the technique in this way it will gain four more bonuses of its choice. Additionally, the chanted Innate Technique feature will have its final damage boosted by 50% per round it spent Complex Chanting. This damage bonus is capped at 100%. (2x Damage).

While Chanting or Complex Chanting it must maintain concentration as if maintaining concentration on a spell.

If its Innate Technique feature that benefits from Chanting allows it to make more than one attack roll or forces a target to make more than one save or has multiple ranges, it may only choose one of those components at a time to apply the benefit to. (Ex: he could choose to apply a saving throw disadvantage to the first saving throw of the technique, but in order to apply one to the second saving throw of the technique it would have to add that bonus to that part as well). It cannot perform Maximum Output on an Innate Technique feature benefiting from Chanting. It cannot apply the benefits of Chanting towards a Domain Expansion.

Domain Expansion: Festering Death Hive

The Cockroach Curse manifests a labyrinthine network of tunnels, infested by cockroaches everywhere. The Cockroach Curse can manipulate the cockroaches here, and at the start of an enemy creature's turn in this domain, it can make four attack rolls against the target as if attacked by a swarm of cockroaches. Additionally, whenever a creature makes a Constitution saving throw to avoid the goop from a Nutshell Shikigami, they automatically fail against it due to this being the sure hit effect of this domain.
