and powerful. tougher, built to resist the hardships they will inevitably face.
Beyond that, they are hard to catalogue, as each displays a
variety of supernatural and paranormal powers that seem to
defy explanation. Their unpredictability and versatility often
keeps foes off balance in combat, while those who master
their powers can offer surprising options to their friends.
Creating an Anomaly
The origins of anomalies are as varied and distinct as they
are, but each has a profound effect on the anomaly's life.
Some are born with their unusual gifts, marking them as
chosen children or cursed mistakes. Others find their powers
awaken during puberty, leading many to flee from their
homes and forge a rough life on their own. A few encounter
something altogether life-changing and later find that the
experience has ignited something within them.
However you come to your powers, consider how it has
changed your position in the world. Are you hated and feared,
revered, or merely regarded as a curiosity? In a world of
magic, how can you explain the inexplicable things that
continually happen around you? Yours is a power that cannot
be gained through study or training; have you stirred envious
thoughts in others, or earned their respect? The most
distinguishing thing about any anomaly is how their strange
existence affects their place in the world.
Quick Build
You can make an anomaly quickly by following these
suggestions. First, put your highest ability score in
Constitution, followed by Dexterity. If you plan to be
Hypnotic, make Charisma your next-best score. Second,
choose the urchin background.

Parasitic
Faith healers have a long history as controversial figures.
While clerics channel the actual power of the gods to

heal the sick and wounded, countless others have preyed

upon the masses with their claims to offer miraculous
recovery. Among these charlattans, however, there are
scattered reports of anomalies who can heal with a touch,

but in their wake others often seem to fall ill, as if the

sickness had been leeched from one and given to another.
These figures have great potential to do good, but many still
view them with suspicion. Few seem to master the art of
balance.

Additionally, any creatures you hit with your Pulse feature
during your turn can't make opportunity attacks against you
for the rest of your turn.
Restorative Touch
1st-level Parasitic feature
Your powers can heal as well as harm. You have a pool of

d6s that you spend to fuel this healing. The number of

dice in the pool equals your anomaly level + your proficiency

bonus.
As a bonus action, you can heal a creature you touch,
spending dice from the pool. The maximum number of dice
you can spend at once equals your Constitution modifier

 Mutate
1st-level Metamorphic feature
In times of great stress, you are overcome by a powerful inner
force that transforms your body into something monstrous.
On your turn, you can mutate as a bonus action.
Your monstrous form must have the same number of limbs
and be the same size category as your normal form, but you
are otherwise free to decide its appearance. If your new form
would somehow damage your clothing or equipment, you can
choose for it to merge with your new form instead.
While mutated, you gain the following benefits if you aren't
wearing any armor:
You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength
saving throws.
When you make a melee spell attack using your Pulse
feature, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to half
your proficiency bonus (rounded up).
You have resistance to acid, cold, and lightning damage.
If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or
concentrate on them while mutated.
Your mutation lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are
knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't
attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken
damage since then. You can also end your mutation on your
turn as a bonus action.
After your mutation ends, you must finish a short or long
rest before you can do so again.
Walk Among Them
5th-level Metamorphic feature
Though your transformative powers set you apart from
others, they can also provide the perfect disguise for a chance

Many anomalies feel they've been cursed, but you bring that

to your Constitution modifier (minimum once), and you
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

against your spell save DC. If the target fails, you can apply
one of the effects below. Once you successfully use this
ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
Brand: The target is branded by some mark or scar of your
choice. This gives the target disadvantage on Charisma
(Persuasion) checks.
Corrupt: The target becomes a source of contamination.
Food rots more quickly in their presence, water turns foul
and starts to congeal, and vermin are attracted to their area
more frequently. Any creature that remains in their
presence for more than one hour is poisoned until they
spend an hour at least 300 feet away.
Haunt: The target is plagued by nightmares. It takes 12
hours to gain the benefits of a long rest and it has
disadvantage on concentration checks.
Wither: The target gets weaker over time. It gains one level
of exhaustion each week (maximum of 5 levels) that can't
be removed through rest.
The effects of these curses can only be ended through a
remove curse, greater restoration, or wish spell.
