Gifts of Chaos
Your experience as an agent amongst the Children of Chaos
and your intuitiveness with their gifts has given you the
ability to modify them to your will.
You learn a ritual that allows you to bond the effects of two
similar artifacts into one. You perform the ritual over 2 hours,
which can be done during a long rest. You choose one
dominant artifact, which will gain the effects and properties of
the secondary artifact. The artifacts must be within your
reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which your
deity may grant you the bonding you seek or perhaps offer
you something you did not want. If the bonding is successful,
any effects, properties, or bonuses of the secondary artifact
are added to the bonuses of the dominant artifact. This effect
lasts for 24 hours, at which point the items separate and
regain their identities.
Roll on the following table to determine if the bonding is
successful.

a new gift. Roll twice on the Artifact table and

bonded your artifacts together.

Mutations
Some mutations are cumulative, meaning that you can gain
the mutation more than once. Other have the visible tag,
meaning it is a visible mutation or change that may have an
effect on how others view and interact with you.
To find out which mutation you receive, roll 1D20 and
consult the following table. You gain the corresponding
mutation as listed at the end of this document.
Fangs
Your teeth lengthen and sharpen to fine points. You can use
these fangs as a melee weapon. They deal 1d6 + Strength
modifier piercing damage. On a successful hit, you can
attempt to grapple the target as part of the bite using the
standard grappling rules. This does not require you to use
your hands.
This mutation may not be gained more than once. If it is
rolled again, re-roll on the Mutation table.

proficiency bonus to your AC for that attack, potentially
causing the attack to miss you.

targets. When rolling damage, if at least one of the weapon’s
damage die turn up its maximum roll, the target suffers a
single level of exhaustion.

horned beast; granting its wearer a most fearsome
appearance. Although the beast is long dead, some of its
power is bound forever to the helm by chaotic sorcery
This helmet grants its wearer +1 to attack rolls made with
melee weapons.
If the wearer of this helmet uses his action to dash, they can

creature. If the wielder has moved at least 10 feet in a
straight line towards the target of this bonus action, that
attack deals an additional 5 bludgeoning damage.

While wielding this longsword, its wielder gains an

When taking fire damage from any source, its wearer can

shield no longer grants resistance to fire damage until the
