Deadborn Vulture Curse

Death and disease calls to you. As the curse slowly overtakes you, your body numbs and rot begins to come from within your body.

Catalyst

Deadborn Vulture Curses occur when a vulnerable creature is being attacked by a Deadborn Vulture actively carrying the curse. This curse is only removable by bartering with or destroying the Lich that originated it.

Upon contracting this curse, the infected gains darkvision 60ft and their eyes glow red, imparting a -2 penalty to Diplomacy with good aligned creatures.
