Dark Gift: Monstrous Mutation

Feat

Bites by toxic wildlife, being submerged in vile swamp morasses, walking through the Mists a little too long—all this can kill an adventurer faster than any monster. You, however, survived such a mishap—but it left its mark on you. Something didn’t want you dead, but you’ve paid the price for living ever since, marked by hideous mutations that disfigure your body. It’s not all bad, though, as these alterations may look abominable, but they can have their uses. Roll on or choose an option from the Monstrous Mutation table to determine which of your body parts is altered and in what way. Additionally, you gain the traits that follow.
