This curse inflicts the target with withering and horrific aging. The target must make a Strength saving throw (DC 15), which is modified by the Curse Strength Table. On a successful save, the target becomes aware that somebody attempted to curse them. On a failed save, the target becomes cursed. Upon the completion of this curse’s triggering event, the target automatically advances to stage 1 of this curse.
Triggering event
The next time the target changes clothing, they find multiple wrinkles, grey hairs, and liver spots they did not previously have.
Stage 1
The cursed creature is compelled to rest when the occasion permits it, becoming lethargic and lazy.
Stage 2
The cursed creature becomes feeble as their muscle mass begins to deteriorate. The cursed creature has disadvantage on Strength saving throws.
Stage 3
The cursed creature starts to age rapidly, becoming decrepit. The cursed creature’s Strength score becomes 6 unless it was already lower.
Culmination
Upon failing the final escalation check, the cursed creature twists into a deformed figure and becomes a Body Snatcher. If the creature is a player character, they become an NPC under the GM’s control.
