School of the Old Ones
Spell trait: KnowledgeShare your mind with an alien intelligence to gain ultimate understanding.
Host: You have a being of alien intelligence sharing your consciousness. Take the Mind Symbiosis Transformation card. If you roll a 6 on Parasitic Interference, you do not gain disadvantage and instead gain a +1 bonus to your Knowledge trait until your next rest.
Otherworldly Knowledge: When making a non-attack Knowledge roll, mark a Stress to use a d20 as your Fear die.
Maddening Display: You can use Prestidigitation to create a madness-inducing display. Make a Spellcast roll against a target in Very Close range. On a success, mark a Stress to make the target temporarily Mad. While Mad, whenever they are spotlighted they must roll a d6 to determine how they act:
They are compelled to injure themselves, dealing their standard attack damage.
They spend their spotlight engaging in odd behavior - giggling, eating dirt, babbling incoherently, etc.
They run from you and become Vulnerable.
They attack the nearest creature.
They become Restrained but otherwise may act normally.
They mark a Stress but may act normally.
Extend Madness: Once per long rest, when you successfully use Maddening Display, spend any number of Hope and place an equal amount of tokens on this card. The GM must spend additional Fear equal to the amount of tokens to clear the Mad condition from the target creature. Remove a token each time the creature is spotlighted.
Perfect Symbiosis: Your Dual Consciousness transformation feature triggers on a roll of 3, 4, 5, or 6.
