Choose your path
Haunted Bloodline — Sorcerer
The spirits of your bloodline haunt every creature you hit with a spell: slower, shakier, then frightened. At 14th level you pass through walls.
Greed Domain — Cleric
Enemies who resist your spells pay tribute, healing near you gets stolen, and at 17th level you become an Avatar of Greed wrapped in golden chains.
Before dawn, the Pumpkin King must fall.
Every autumn, one pumpkin in the field grows far too large. Roots twist into a giant body, and the whole field wakes up around it. The King never moves: he whips your party from 30 feet away, drags them in, and throws his Pumpkin Servants in front of every blow. If he survives until sunrise, the land dies, and next year he returns in a bigger field.
