Essence Purification (3.5e Feat)
Essence Purification [General] A refined and potent version of Essence Infusion, this feat allows the creation of highly concentrated potions or injections that provide rapid and potent boosts by sacrificing life essence.
Prerequisite: Essence Infusion feat, 3rd level
Benefit: By sacrificing 10 hit points, you can create a purified booster (pill, potion, syringe, etc.) granting the following effects for 24 hours: +1 bonus to AC, +1 Base Attack Bonus, and +1 Strength modifier. These bonuses stack with each use, up to a maximum of 100 HP sacrificed, though time duration does not stack (i.e., each infusion lasts 24 hours, regardless of the number taken).
- Infusion Limits: Every 50 HP sacrificed causes a -1 penalty to Dexterity. Additional abilities are unlocked at specific HP thresholds:
- Purified Flight: Sacrifice 50 HP to gain a flying speed equal to your base movement, sustained only as long as you maintain unwavering belief in your ability. Any doubt causes the flight to end immediately. - Purified Sight-Teleportation: Sacrifice 100 HP to teleport within your line of sight, granted full belief in success. Any hesitation or doubt nullifies the attempt.
- Mild Side Effect: Each use increases dependency. When not used for more than 48 hours, the user must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or suffer Disadvantage on all Charisma-based skill checks for 24 hours due to withdrawal.
Addiction and Dependency: Extended use may result in dependency. If the user does not consume a Purified Essence every 48 hours, they must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or suffer Disadvantage on Charisma checks for 24 hours. With prolonged dependency, overcoming withdrawal becomes increasingly difficult.
Maximum Enhancement: Once 200 HP has been sacrificed, no further boosts are gained, but the risk of withdrawal and dependency remains.
Normal: Without this feat, characters cannot produce these purified boosters.
Special: The effects of each infusion cap at 100 HP sacrificed, though dependency and withdrawal symptoms continue to increase with use.
