Depression

This one is personal. Depression is something I constantly fight with so I thought I'd give it D&D stats. Now maybe I (and others that struggle) can fight it in a different way. Little victories, right?

If you struggle with depression, talk to someone. Don't be afraid to reach out. You are not alone.

The artwork for this post is by my talented friend, Heather, of Dobby's Hobbies.

Dark Heart, Darker Form: Deprimere can move through solid objects (including living things) without provoking an attack of opportunity. If they move through a humanoid that creature must make a DC 10 Cha saving throw or suffer disadvantage on attacks that creature immediately gains inspiration.

You Are Stronger Than You Know. When a deprimere is defeated all creatures within 60' lose any levels of the exhausted condition. If the killing blow is struck by a creature, they gain inspiration.

Actions
------------------------------
Not Good Enough. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 level of Exhaustion; if target is immune to Exhaustion they take 12 (3d6+2 psychic damage)

Deprimere are an insidious race of fiends hailing from Gehenna, but most inhabiting the prime material plain. They appear as ghostly humanoids and are often mistaken as undead, much to the dismay of clerics trying to turn them. They feast on self doubt and find no greater delight then bringing a champion low. They have a special hatred for paladins, bards, and artists and seek to eliminate and corrupt them before all others.
