Unique Attributes

Unlike other heroes, the Abomination has two forms, Human Form and Beast Form, each with own set of skills. He starts the battle in human form and can use Transform to switch between forms. Transform is a free action, allowing the Abomination to use another skill immediately afterwards. Transform may be used twice per battle, allowing him to switch once to beast form and back.

Entering beast form inflicts Stress on all allies. Additionally the Abomination will suffer 6 Stress at the beginning of every turn when he is in beast form.

The Abomination will automatically revert to human form at the end of the battle, or whenever he gets afflicted. Reverting to human form heals a (very) small amount of stress from his allies.

Combat Skills

Beaten, branded and imprisoned for untold decades, this furtive vagrant hides a terrible secret. The Eldritch poison coursing through his veins has given him unspeakable power, at a terrible cost. As his form changes, so too does his role in combat!

— Guild

The Abomination's seven skills are divided between his two forms: each form has three unique skills, with Transform being shared between them. Though Transform is a single skill, it has different effects for each form so it is listed as two separate skills in the sections below for better readability.

Notes

All buffs and debuffs last for 3 rounds unless otherwise specified.
Unlike other heroes, the Abomination can have all seven skills equipped at the same time, and newly recruited Abominations will have all their skills unlocked.
Transform can be used twice in total, once to transform into Beast form and once to transform back to Human form.
