+Abominations are deeply, horribly wrong. Other monsters might be gross or weird or alien and get called abominable as a result, but something with actual levels in Abomination is some next level Lovecraftian shit. There are a lot of dark or monstrous-themed archetypes that are still available as options for player-controlled adventurers, but this one is probably as close as any archetype comes to simply being off the table (at least thematically- unless you're playing in a comedy game, it's probably a bit inappropriate for sanity-shattering eldritch horrors to join adventuring parties, drink beer, make jokes and worry about their rent).

It is utterly impossible for you to create relationships or meaningfully communicate in any way. Even if you're intelligent enough to be capable of language, your mind and form are so alien that it just doesn't work. |

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Begone:** Your attacks cut more than meat and bone. Every time your attack removes a point of Flesh from a target, that target is partially forgotten. The target chooses one of their relationships and downgrades it by one step: a Bond becomes a Friend, and a Friend forgets them entirely. This effect is repeated for every point of Flesh you remove from a target, so if your attack removes 3 Flesh they downgrade relationships 3 times. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**What Am I:** If a target has no more relationships to lose, they instead begin to forget themselves. Targets with no Friends/Bonds instead lose 1 XP. If they have no XP to lose, they permanently lose a level instead. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**NPC Difference:** NPCs don't track relationships or XP the same way player-controlled adventurers do. If a struck NPC has a relationship with any adventurer, that relationship is degraded or erased. If not, this effect is mostly ignored. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Utter Annihilation:** When you kill a creature, that creature is erased from the memory of every other creature in existence. Nobody will ever remember them or what they did, although especially observant creatures might be able to deduce that your victim once existed. |

-^{{ra>footprint?48|Movement}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Gatecrasher:** You know when somebody is talking about you, and can sometimes show up. Whenever somebody says your name, they must roll a trigger die. If the result is 1-3, you appear nearby- coming from around a corner, rolling out of a closet, appearing in the backseat of the car they're driving, whatever. Check a maximum of once per session per speaker. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Refraction:** If you've already been killed (or at least have had your physical body destroyed), others might think it's safe to talk about you. It isn't: if the trigger die roll is a 1 after speaking of you, another copy of you appears as normal, fully resurrected. You can only be killed permanently by a creature with the [[Helsing]]'s Exorcist ability, or by erasing your name from history so no one knows how to call you back. |
