Faeborn Caricature (Alpha 0.1)
🕑 Added 2022-01-10 06:23:10 +0000 UTCAn incredibly unstable type of fairy that is born from an irresponsible amount of transformative fae magic, Faeborn Caricatures are fairies of pure exaggeration. Faeborn Caricatures are rarely created intentionally, and a swarm of this fae is often created when the transformative magics of a crowd of Pestering Pixies gets out of hand.
With translucently and glowing forms of wispy pink, while Faeborn Caricatures vary greatly, they can each be noted for their cartoonishly overblown proportions and traits such as incredible strengths and horrible weaknesses. While one Faeborn Caricature may have a shockingly impressive intellect overshadowed by pathetically weak physical strength, another may be a creature of pure strength that lacks any form of smarts.
As an incredibly unstable magic being, is a Faeborn Caricature sustains enough damage, its magic is known to rupture and become temporarily absorbed into the nearest creature, before being released and returning to its original source. This process is known to have notable size effects, as the exaggerated nature of this fairy is temporarily bestowed upon a whoever absorbed its magical essence.
Faeborn Caricature wouldn't be too dangerous in a vacuum, aiming to interact with any magic items or spellcasters they can come across. However, as they are often brought into the world by Pestering Pixies, these are often the beings that have the most influence on them.

If more than one creature is within this area of effect when this ability triggers, the effected creature is chosen at random. The given creature is afflicted with the Curse of the Caricature.
Curse of the Caricature: When a creature becomes afflicted with this curse, note that creature's two highest combat stats and their two lowest combat stats. The cursed creatures two highest combat stats each improve by +3 while cursed this way, and that creature's two lowest stats are reduced by -3. The target's highest utility stat is improved by +5 and its lowest utility stat is reduced by -5 while cursed this way. The cursed creature treats each of their personality traits as though they have two instances of those traits.

Additionally, each of the following body parts increase or decrease by two size tiers based on if that part of the target is above or below average sized: breasts (if present), penis (if present), ass, hips.

This curse can be removed via a Ritual of Purification. Otherwise, this curse automatically ends after 1d6 days (rolled when the target is afflicted). A creature cannot be afflicted by more than one Curse of the Caricature at a time.
