Ability

Calculated Blow

The gurgist makes a melee Strike, aiming for their target's weak points and taking their time to line up a precise blow. If this Strike hits, the gurgist deals an additional 1d8 precision damage, and the target must succeed at a DC 23 Fortitude save or become clumsy 2 for 1 minute.

 

Ability

Consecration Vulnerability

A gurgist in a place of worship dedicated to a non-evil deity or on sacred ground, such as an area blessed by sanctified ground, is slowed 1.

 

Ability

Death Gasp

(divine, necromancy) The gurgist draws in a deep breath and holds it, temporarily suspending their biological processes and becoming undead. The gurgist gains the undead trait and becomes immune to bleed, death effects, disease, paralyzed, poison, and sleep. Any such effects the gurgist is currently suffering from are suspended, but take effect again once they take a breath. Death Gasp lasts as long as the gurgist holds their breath (up to 9 rounds).

 

Ability

Nourishing Feast

The gurgist spends 1 hour consuming 1 Bulk of raw meat to reverse their body's putrescence. For 1 hour, the gurgist appears to be a pale, bloated human. They have an automatic result of 32 on Deception checks and DCs to pass as a non-mortic human. While under the effects of Nourishing Feast, Rotting Flesh ceases to function.

 

Ability

Rotting Flesh

Any creature that hits the gurgist with an unarmed attack, tries to Grapple them, or otherwise touches the gurgist is covered with rotten flesh and putrid fluids. The creature must succeed at a DC 22 Fortitude save or become sickened 1 (sickened 2 on a critical failure).
