Variant Rule: Undead Hunger Origin of Undeath

This variant rule is best applied to undead player Atrocity Calls to Unlife
characters that are diet dependent or have
inescapable cravings. These rules work less well for
undead that spend years or more locked away in
tombs before getting a chance to feed. However,
the DM may decide to use these rules on a case-
by-case basis for NPC or monster undead as well.

The hunger felt by an undead with the need for
sustenance is akin to an addiction. Like living
creatures with an extreme craving for some
chemical substance, hungry undead are prone to
erratic, violent, and sometimes self-destructive
behavior if they are denied their preferred morsels.

Hunger Type Satiation DC Ability Reduction

Inescapable craving 2 days 20 1d4 Wis

Diet dependent 1 week 15 2d4 Str

Satiation Negative Energy as a Supportive Force

An undead with an inescapable craving has its
Wisdom score reduced each other day unless it
makes a successful DC 20 Wisdom save. This
reduction lasts until it feeds again or receives a
greater restoration spell. A diet-dependent undead
takes a reduction every week unless it makes a
successful DC 15 Wisdom save. Each time an
undead feeds on its preferred morsel, it is satiated
and need not make these saving throws for the
satiation period noted on the table. After the
satiation period wears off, the undead once again
grows hungry.

Ability Reduction

An undead’s need to feed is like a mental spike
boring into its awareness, dealing the indicated
reduction each day unless the undead succeeds on
the saving throw or feeds. An undead immediately
is cured of all the ability reduction it has taken if it
manages to feed.

As the undead goes longer and longer without
feeding, potentially losing Wisdom all the while,
the undead grows increasingly unbalanced. It mulls
over plans that would allow it to feed—plans it
would likely consider too risky were it completely
sane. When the undead reaches 0 Wisdom, it
retains no volition of its own, no judgment to deter
it from seeking its preferred morsel, even if the
undead’s utter destruction seems likely thereafter.
(A player character who reaches 0 Wisdom from a
failure to feed is temporarily remanded to the DM,
who plays the undead as a ravening beast until the
character has fed.)

An intelligent undead sometimes plans for this
eventuality, even arranging to have itself locked
away in a self-constructed vault from which it is
unable to escape. It will stay there until a
prearranged third party provides the undead with
its preferred morsel (presumably in a fashion that
does not endanger the third party, though
accidents do happen).

Vile Damage?

Vile damage does not represent a specific type, but
rather a trait any type of damage can have (for
example, there could be vile force damage, or vile
necrotic damage). It represents a horrific violation
to a character’s body or soul. Vile damage cannot
be healed naturally, and can only be magically
healed if the magic is cast within the area of a
hallow spell, consecrated or desecrated ground, or
a similarly divine place. Note that the hallow need
not be dedicated to a good deity.

Bleeding Disease

Bloodskin 27/136

This sickness causes its victims to lightly bleed
from many small sores. The overall loss of blood is
minimal but sufficiently spread out so as to create
the appearance that a victim is bleeding from every
pore in its skin.

This sickness deals 1 point of piercing damage
12 hours in and every 24 hours following.

Ray of Depletion “There are those who say that life ends when the
body fails. When the blood ceases to flow and the
Reveille lungs no longer breathe, they admit the end of
their existence. Those men are fools. I, who have
not felt the beat of a heart within my breast for
three centuries—I know that life is no more
dedicated to the body than innocence is attached
to a soul. It is a simple task to cut it away and be
freed.”
