Owlbear Bloodline
Monstrous Affliction
- When you get afflicted by this curse you become imbued with the monstrous essence of the Owlbear.
- The curse has a specific trigger, typically the occurrence of a full moon.
- Upon rolling a natural 1 or natural 20, you automatically transform.
- When transforming due to the trigger or a natural roll, you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw with a DC of 10 + your player level. Failure results in entering a rage, compelling you to attack the nearest creature as your sole action. You can repeat the saving throw at the beginning of each of your turns.
Curse Manifestations
- Monstrous Might: Your Strength score increases to 20 if it is not already higher.
- Keen Sight and Smell. In your humanoid form, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight or smell.
- Monstrous Trait: While under the influence of this curse, your non-dexterous hand is transformed into the feathery claw of an owlbear.
- Owlbear's Barb: As an action on your turn, you can launch spikes from your owlbear tail. Use your Strength modifier for the attack, and the spikes have a range of 100/200 feet. You are proficient with your tail's spikes, dealing 1d8 + Strength piercing damage.
- Owlbear Form: As a bonus action on your turn, you can transform into a owlbear, adopting its stat block for 1 hour. Your hit points and Hit Dice remain unchanged. You can revert to your normal form as a bonus action on your turn. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. You revert to human form if your hit points drop to 0 or if you die.
