SPECIAL TRAITS

• Forbidden Fruit. Those that behold must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. Women make their saving throw with disadvantage. A failed save means the victim drops all in-hand items and immediately runs to the fungus, picks one of its globules, and ravenously consumes it. All those who consume the forbidden fruit must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If they survive consuming the forbidden fruit, the victim will attempt to consume an additional fruit every 30 seconds (with successive save attempts at -1 cumulatively) unless restrained. Upon death the victim’s body turns black and decomposes in 3 turns to nourish the fungus.
