This terrible Curse afflicts the Target with a terrible Curse of hunger as the famine’s feast Curse (see below); however, it also awakens an unquenchable physical and spiritual hunger for the flesh of the accursed creature’s own kind. The accursed creature can discern the presence of creatures of its own type as if it was proficient in Soul (Survival) via scent, and the sight of blood can unleash its cannibalistic impulses.

Whenever the accursed creature sees a creature of its own type within 30 feet take Necrotic damage or a critical hit with a Piercing or Slashing weapon, it must succeed on a Soul Contesting Roll or begin plotting to eat that creature’s flesh, but the end result of the accursed creature’s plotting is always a cannibalistic feast.

If a creature of the same type (and subtype) is adjacent to the accursed creature when it takes Necrotic damage or a critical hit with a Piercing or Slashing weapon, the accursed creature is compelled to attack that creature if they fail a Soul Contesting Roll for 1 minute, using its bite attack to the exclusion of all other forms of attack. If it lacks a bite attack, its bite is considered an unarmed strike that inflicts Piercing damage. Its savage gnawing and tearing bites deal 1 point of Body damage with each successful attack; this Body damage is increased to 1d4 per Round if the Target is also grappled. The accursed creature must continue attacking the creature that provoked its bloodlust for 1 minute or until it or its Target is killed. If its Target escapes the accursed creature’s line of sight and gets far enough away that the accursed creature cannot detect it via scent, the accursed creature gains a new Contesting Roll each Round at the beginning of its Turn to end the murderous effect; if failed, it attacks the nearest creature of its own type that is taking Necrotic damage or that has less than one-half its hit points remaining.

If there is no such Target, the accursed creature must search for its original Target.

Once the bloodlust of this attack has been consummated, the accursed creature loses all memory of any hostile or acts committed as a result of these compulsions.
