Swamp Soul
Secrets of the mud besiege the minds of those chosen by fate or circumstance to be molded by it. Besides the many powerful and dangerous creatures that dwell in the bogs and wetlands, a decrepit arcane force comes from within the tar black forest shade and the numerous enchanted herbs, roots, and minerals not found anywhere else.
And so, as one manifested from any of these forces, your physical and metaphysical form adapts to the hallowed and lost knowledge hidden within the swamp. At your option, you can pick from or roll on the Swamp Sorcerer Quirks table to create a quirk for your character.
