Branded with an Unholy Sign - 5e Character Feats & Dark Powers
Some Powers Leave Their Mark
The touch of the outer planes can corrupt even the most righteous mortal souls. Powerful souls can resist and overcome the burdens of corruption, taking control of the unholy essence, and learning to harness it for their own benefit. But no matter how much one resists, the touch will always manifest on their body in the form of a dark brand: A mark that forever scars their souls.
Who This Appeals To
