d12	Frustrating Curse
1	Ability Score Penalty - You take a -2 penalty to an ability score.
2-3	Insanity - You roll on the Mild Temporary Insanity Table (see *Insanity*). At the start of each day, you must succeed on either a 20 DC Wisdom saving throw or a DC equal to the chance of failure for the failed Powers check, whichever is least. On a failure, you suffer the short-term madness you rolled at some point in the next 24 hours, at the DM's discretion.
4-5	New Fear - You roll on the Seed of Fear Table (see *Fear & Stress*), gaining a new fear that can affect combat & roleplay.
6	Sunlight Sensitivity - While in sunlight, you have disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
7	Physical Changes - You suffer a significant physical change. Examples include having bestial facial features, patches of fur or scales, a short tail, a hunchback, or growing/shrinking up to 1' in height.
8-9	Weird Tastes with Penalty - You must eat a strange substance once per day, such as fresh blood, raw meat, pages from a holy book, or graveyard soil. Failure to do so results in a penalty like having disadvantage on attack rolls for the next 24 hours.
10-11	Weird Rituals with Penalty - You must perform some minor dark ritual once per day, such as insult a close friend, frighten a random stranger, or draw occult sigils in public places. Failure to do so results in a penalty like having disadvantage on ability checks for the next 24 hours.
