Open aspectCorpse Touch
Your hand grows cold and corpse-still. Make a melee power attack. On a hit, the target takes necrotic or cold damage, and you may suppress your pulse, breath, and body heat until the start of your next turn.
Deathly Stillness
Become unnaturally still. You can hold your breath without effort, slow your heartbeat, appear dead to casual inspection, and add 1d4 to Stealth or Deception checks to pass as a corpse, sleeper, or unmoving body.
Unliving Vitality
Your body partially adopts undead function. You have advantage on saves against mundane disease, inhaled poison, suffocation, starvation, dehydration, and exhaustion from lack of sleep.
Grave Grip
Grab with the strength of a corpse that refuses burial. Make a melee power attack. On a hit, deal bludgeoning or necrotic damage. If the target is Large or smaller, it must make a STR save or be grappled by you.
Rot Scent
Your senses attune to blood, rot, grave soil, embalming fluid, and dying flesh. Add 1d4 to Survival or Medicine checks to track corpses, wounded creatures, or undead.
Pale Endurance
When you take poison, necrotic, cold, or nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, deaden your nerves. Reduce the damage by 1d8 + your CON modifier.
Ghoul Sprint
Your joints snap into predatory motion. Your speed increases by 10 ft., you ignore difficult terrain made of rubble, graves, bones, corpses, mud, or ruins, and your first natural weapon hit each turn deals extra necrotic damage equal to your CON modifier.
Corpse Jaw
Your jaw, claws, or broken limbs become predatory weapons. Make a melee power attack. On a hit, deal necrotic or piercing damage, and if the target is grappled, prone, or below half hit points, roll one extra damage die.
Undead Resilience
When you take damage, reduce it by 3d10 + your CON modifier. If the triggering damage is poison, necrotic, cold, or nonmagical weapon damage, you also gain temporary hit points equal to your CON modifier.
Deathless Labor
You do not suffer exhaustion from forced marching, hard labor, lack of sleep, or holding still unless the hardship is magical, divine, or extreme. You can remain motionless for 24 hours and appear dead without checks against casual inspection.
Unholy Recovery
Your body repairs through grave-force. Regain hit points equal to your CON modifier at the start of each turn if you have at least 1 hit point and have not taken radiant damage since the end of your last turn.
Corpse Maul
Strike with the weight of a dead body that does not feel pain. Make a melee power attack. On a hit, deal bludgeoning and necrotic damage, and the target must make a STR save or be knocked prone or pushed 10 ft.

Studied astrology under the same teacher as Virgil Grey, Poe, to develop her powers. In the Act 3 Point Pringle arc, Faephine appeared at Dinkle’s with Pointer, showed interest in the Creator and Greta’s alignment studies, and was identified as a possible New VQU recruit among Baron’s invited hundred. During Act 4, Faephine maintained an astral cat-tower observatory/refuge linked to Eveline’s room; her alarm and telescope revealed guard movement, and she later saw the party leave the manor while the real party was still inside, confirming a false-double problem.
The party steps from Jebus's lamp into Baron's classroom, where New VQU's mission is framed as Witchborn protection, recruitment, and active fieldwork.
storyBaron introduces Zeus Beefcake and the drained lich-remnant Ex, who names the new field team the Ex Force.
storyPost-session clarifications established each prisoner: Victor had Exaba, Ash had Eveline, Maine had Jeff, Dhaz Pelosh had Emmy, Nick had I.J., Jonah had Podon, Araspinn had an unmet NPC, and Rifleton Rob had Orenthal James. Victor remains in the background with Exaba while a new PC is introduced.
