Path of the Concubine

The Path of Corruption followed by the [[scholar] Mu from Gothic Earth, now trapped in the Demiplane of Dread.

Its steps are:

• 1. Fatal manicure. Mu gains a claw attack. Her fingernails retain an eternally flawless manicure when she is among other people, become black claws when she is alone.
  • Mu has developed a minor obsession with painting her nails and wearing gloves out of fear that this will be seen.
• 2. Dance of the Succubus. Mu gains the feat Dance of Kindled Desires (Blood of Fiends) as a bonus feat. In trade, every time she uses her Flight Hex, she sprouts a pair of pale, demonic wings that remain with her for a number of days equal to the number of rounds she remained in flight. Mu mostly manages to disguise the wings as a cloak.
  • Mu has become fearful that she is changing into something monstrous or that her soul is in danger of falling into Hell due to her transgressions, and is afraid to fly except under the most pressing circumstances.
• 3. Beguiling beauty. Mu's natural beauty is enhanced to an unnatural degree, and she gains a substantial bonus to her Charisma score. Unfortunately for her, people talking to her who can see that beauty and feel attracted to it perceive seduction where none exists. People attracted to Mu must make a Sense motive check against her passive Bluff score (which is enhanced by the aforementioned boost to Charisma), or they become convinced the interest and any romantic or sexual desire they might feel is mutual.
  • Mu has become even more phobic of interpersonal relations, and frequently wears disguises and hooded robes in order to avoid 'misunderstandings'.
