Corruption

^{Home > Rulebook > Gamemastering > Curses > Corruption}
DC Action: Toughness (DC 75%) Administration: Consumed by a corruption entity
Increase Method: Consuming others

The Corruption is a horrible form of curse that effects both the mind and the body. The Corruption turns ones body into a “dark matter” of some form and combines them with the knowledge of the unseen universe, those who are affected by the corruption and manage to survive, eventually go insane. There is little to no cure for being affected by the Corruption other then through the use of rituals or powers, and those affected typically end their own lives to stop themselves from reaching the same fate.

To increase ranks in Corruption, you must consume 100 x your current rank live medium sized (or larger) creatures.
