Heranças Variantes/en

This Article is in accordance with the version 0.94 of Runarcana RPG

Although members of a species are similar to each other, external or even genetic factors can oftenly present certain members of that origin with a huge divergence within what is general for that species.

The Variants are Heritages that describe certain members that were modified by some factor, be it genetic or magical, or even in some magical way that affects genetics.

These members are usually visibly different from other members of their species, either because they are exaggerated in size or even because they have some characteristic that is clearly not standard for that species.

Each Variant costs one Heritage Point, but you can only choose one of them. Humans can choose up to 2 Variants. These Heritages can only be chosen by specific Origins, check the List of Heritages by Origin to find out which Variants can be chosen by your character.

• Ink Sac. You can use an action to make a special ranged attack to blind a creature in your line of sight within 15 feet of you if it fails a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. If you are able to make multiple attacks with the Attack action, this attack replaces one of them.

• Intoxicating Skin. Any creature that grabs you or comes into direct contact with your skin must pass a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be Intoxicated for 1 minute.

• Madness. You suffered a trauma upon awakening from your modification. You make a roll and gain a madness effect from the Permanent Madness table. Additionally, together with your Master, you must define a trigger that reminds you of your trauma. When exposed to this trigger, the Master may ask you to roll on the Short- or Long-term Madness table. You gain an effect for the duration of the table.
• Shapeshifter. Your appearance is very different from that of a human, whether you are a human with animal characteristics or an animal with human characteristics.
• Voice Modulator. You are unable to speak, so you use a device that replaces your voice. You have disadvantage on Performance checks related to your voice.
• Bloodlust. You have an obsession with blood, whether to consume it, smell it in the air, or simply a strong desire to spill more and more blood.

Ressurgido

Os meio Azakana e meio Kanmei são bem próximos pois a diferença entre um senso de missão e obsessão é algo bem tênue. Já os Espectrais, acabam por retornar para o mundo físico de uma forma diferente, sem a intercessão de Kanmei ou Azakanas, muitas vezes através de outras entidade ainda mais poderosas como Nagacáburos, substâncias mágicas potentes como o líquido de Peixe-Jaula ou mesmo através de magia pura, seja ela Espiritual ou Celestial.

Você pode escolher essa Herança no momento de criação de seu personagem ou caso você morra em níveis mais altos, caso seu Mestre permita. Ao escolhê-la em níveis mais altos, você deve abdicar de uma de suas Heranças e substituí-la por essa. Escolha entre se tornar um Espectral, Meio-Azakana ou Meio-Kanmei, recebendo os seguintes modificadores:

Expulsar e Destruir Mortos-Vivos. Como são mortos-vivos, os espectros são suscetíveis a magias que afetem esse tipo de criatura, isso inclui o Eflúvio responsável por Expulsar ou Destruir Mortos-Vivos, no entanto a mecânica para isso é levemente diferente.

Para a característica Expulsar Mortos-Vivos do Acólito do Rito de Espiritual, se falhar na salvaguarda, ao invés de fugir da melhor maneira possível, você apenas fica Amedrontado perante quem usou a habilidade e evitará se aproximar dela.
