== Shiy's Curse ==
Shiy's curse is a powerful effect caused by the eldritch god Shiy after a creature or being dies. This curse is often seen as either a curse or a boon depending upon its wielder and their beliefs.
== Effect ==
Grants the afflicted creature the ability to steal attacks and abilities from monster stat-blocks. Each creature killed causes the wielders appearance to permanently change to become more monstrous (normally similar to the creature killed) and temporarily reduces their max hp by 1d4.
Upon a long rest the abilities can be changed or switched out. This changes the users maximum hp reduction based on how many are active.
== History ==
This power was seen as a curse by the monster hunter guilds of Astrinan as their creed is to slay all monsters. However once a powerful warrior embraced this curse, and became associated with Shiy themselves, becoming a monster in eyes of the guild.
However by the wolves of the ice plane or the monsters under Shiy's rule this power was seen as a boon, allowing the affected to rise the ranks. 
=== Kegan Yager ===
Kegan once got themselves into a situation of dire need. Failing to get through a portal to escape a horde of mannequins with his winter wolf companion (one of Shiy's which was unknown at the time and one who was owed a flavor for an unknown reason). Kegan died but not before blowing them all up. To save him his companion asked Shiy for a favor and Shiy resurrected him. Kegan eventually got the curse removed by the god of healing and protection, known as Senshin who was called by the cleric Erienshiel to assist the group of Astral Antics but not without the curse being sealed in the sword and his monstrous looks remaining.
