Mortic Ancestry / Heritage?

[Rysky]

So I forgot where it was brought up but one of the designers or developers brought up Mortics (from Tyrant’s Grasp’s bestiaries) being a playable Ancestry or Heritage (most likely the latter) was on the table but it got cut due to being too out there at the start of the new edition (my apologies if I’m misremembering).

For those curious, Mortics are still living creatures that have been infused with negative energy that makes them more comparable to their common undead variants, similar to the Tomb Tainted Soul feat back in 3.5 DnD.

My favourite is the Gurgist, the human one. They have to eat a certain amount of raw meat in a week otherwise their body begins to rot. They don’t have to kill people and it doesn’t have to be humanoid meat, just raw.

I’d really like to see them make a comeback.

So, do you think they should be a bespoke ancestry or a heritage?

This feels like a good thing to include in an "Eye of Terror" book. Since, are they found in any significant concentrations outside of the Gravelands?

Most likely Heritages that get more specific depending on the Ancestry and what Feats you take.

That’s a good question.

Most likely Geb and the Black Desert, other than since they’re “made” they can show up anywhere.

Meh... Honestly, that was one of my least liked things to come out of that AP. I wouldn't mind if they get to it eventually, but I'd rather they do other things first.
