Curse Born (Race) (5e)
Born with the shadows of dark arcana staining their souls¸ Curse Born children bear the marks of their parents' foolishness. They are the result of the perversion of an ancient curse that guards all long-forbidden secrets. Instead of affecting the mortal who sought to uncover the material in question¸ turning that individual into a creature called a nothic¸ the affliction instead is passed to their firstborn child when still in the womb. The unborn child is mutated¸ and their destiny tied to the mysteries their parents sought to uncover. Curse Born are also included in my Collections of Unfortunate Races¸ which can be found through the link below. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/308673/A-Collection-of-Unfortunate-Races
