Aberrantes Mal

Das Aberante Mal fällt auf Wesen, die dem Tod durch einen Beholder entkommen. Die Farbe ist abhängig von der Art des Todes, der verhindert wird, aber die Form ist immer die selbe:
Die Haut der Kreatur ist für die ersten 6 Monate von stilisierten Augäpfeln überzogen.

Ursachen

Wer durch eine Aberration stirbt, erhällt das Aberante Mal, mit dem Ackt der Widerbelebung.

Symptome

Die Kreatur verwandelt sich immer mehr in eine Abberration.
Kreatur lernt den Mind Sliver Cantrip. Jeden Morgen muss von der Kreatur, die das Mal trägt 1d100 auf diesem Table Unstable Mutation Table (Grimm Hollow S. 43) gewürfelt werden:
