Hookah A fear eater’s hookah pipe allows them to make smoke ring Strikes when wielded in 1 hand. Like a weapon, it can be Disarmed, but it’s attached to the hookah bowl strapped to the fear eater’s back and always remains in their space, even if they move.
Fearsight A fear eater can smell the presence of creatures with the frightened or fleeing condition as an imprecise sense at the listed range.

Feast on Fear [one-action] Requirements The fear eater is adjacent to a creature that has a mushroom growing on it from Sprout Fear; Effect The fear eater Interacts to pluck the mushroom and then eat it, regaining 3d8 Hit Points. The creature must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or become enfeebled 1 for 1 minute.Sprout Fear [one-action] (concentrate, emotion, fear, mental, occult) The fear eater focuses their mind on a creature they can sense within 60 feet that has the frightened condition. That creature attempts a DC 20 Will save.
SuccessThe target is unaffected.
FailureThe target reduces the value of their frightened condition by 1 as the fear is concentrated into a fungus that bursts forth from their skin. The creature takes 1d6 persistent bleed damage from the eruption. The mushroom remains for 10 minutes or until a creature Interacts to remove it; if that creature isn’t a fear eater, the mushroom withers to nothing.
Critical FailureAs failure but 2d6 persistent bleed damage.
The Taste Of Terror
According to fear eaters, each mushroom sprouted from a different victim has its own unique texture and flavor. Fear eater gourmands claim to be able to describe the specific kind of terror experienced by the harvested creature from just a nibble of a single fungus. Fear of the dark has a smooth, rich flavor. Fear of blood is spicy and piquant. Fear of death is almost cloyingly sweet. However, to most mortal palates, these mushrooms are all dank, earthy, and generally inedible.
