Feat Effect: Effect: Curse of Torrential Knowledge

Granted by Lore

Curse of Torrential Knowledge

You have a link to true divine knowledge, but your mortal mind struggles to process and act on what you know. Loose materials around you, such as dust, grains of rice, and droplets of water, slowly shift to form strange runes or faint indecipherable writing, and you sometimes speak unintelligible truths or statements in unknown languages without realizing it.

Minor Curse

You take a -4 penalty to initiative, as trying to process a surge of information about what's happening around you slows your ability to respond to it.

Moderate Curse

The flow of information through your mind grows. The attention you divert to process this huge influx of information means you are always Off Guard.

At the start of each of your turns, you automatically make one check to Recall Knowledge as a free action. This uses a skill of your choice that has the Recall Knowledge action, using a result equal to 10 + your proficiency bonus in that skill (with no other bonuses, penalties, or modifiers).

Major Curse (11th)

The massive flow of information clouding your mind overwhelms your ability to communicate with others. You can understand all languages, but you can't speak, use linguistic effects, or otherwise communicate with your allies.

If you Cast a Spell with a verbal component, you must succeed at a DC 5 Flat or the spell is lost.

You gain a +4 status bonus on saving throws against linguistic effects.
