Scarred Curse (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Scarred

Publisher Legendary Games

You carry heavy scarring that makes you classically ugly. Non-good NPC humanoids start with an attitude no better than unfriendly towards you (see Diplomacy).

You gain a circumstance bonus to natural armor equal to your Constitution bonus. The bonus stacks with both natural armor and with enchantment bonuses to natural armor. You lose this benefit if you wear armor, but you can use a shield. This curse is balanced for oracles, who have medium armor proficiency. If you are proficient in heavy armor, increase the armor class bonus by one. For each of light and medium armor proficiency you lack, reduce the Armor Class bonus of this ability by one. This makes you a sort of intuitive practitioner of way of the body martial arts.

At 5th level, you gain a primary natural slam attack that deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage (1d4 if Small)—this can be a head bash, kick, or tackle as appropriate and does not use your hands. All natural attacks gained from this curse can choose to deal nonlethal damage with no penalty on your attack roll and are treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.

At 10th level, your fists become primary natural weapons dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage (1d4 if Small). They still work normally as hands. All your natural attacks are now considered magical weapons with an alignment damage type matching your alignment. Your way of the body armor bonus counts as if it had the ghost touch armor property.

At 15th level, your natural attacks all deal 1d8 damage (1d6 if Small) and gain the ghost touch property.
