Beschreibung
While most of Atropus's heralds are undead who seek to destroy the living, there are some mortals who are wretched enough to give the World Born Dead their undying service. Cultists of Atropus typically act in isolation to advance their master's goals, but cabals of undead or those that associate with undead can also act in Atropus's name, such as the cult headed by the foul ur-priest Caira Xasten.
Cultists of Atropus often uncover necromantic secrets on their own, but may also be granted powers by the World Born Dead as its arrival draws near. Rank-and-file cultists typically obtain the Gaze of Corruption action option, and cult leaders obtain the Anti-Heal trait through the mastery of negative energy manipulation.
Gaze of Corruption {@recharge 6}
The cultist targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 16 (3d10) necrotic damage and be poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Anti-Heal
The cultist can activate or deactivate this feature as a bonus action. While active, creatures within 30 feet of the cultist can't magically regain hit points. A creature that were to magically regain hit points must instead make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes necrotic damage equal to the hit points it would have regained.
