A Vile Taint
You have done the unthinkable and read from the Al Azif. Though you have cast off the terrible tome, it has left its mark on you forever.
You gain one of the following physical features:
| d6 | Feature |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your eyes are completely black. |
| 2 | You always smell faintly of rot. |
| 3 | When you speak, another voice seems to say the same words along with you. |
| 4 | A symbol has been branded somewhere on your body. It reads “VECNA” in Abyssal. |
| 5 | Your orifices are always crusted with scabs and pus. |
| 6 | Your skin appears as that of an aged corpse, grayed and flaking. |
Only powerful magic such as wish can remove the taint of the Al Azif from your body. Should you perish, and be brought back to life from magic such as true resurrection or reincarnate, the mark remains on your new body.
This has no mechanical effect on the game.
