Plaguechanged

The plaguechanged were creatures twisted and warped by the terrible energies released by Spellplague.

Abilities
Every plaguechanged creature developed different abilities, although all of them shared similar features: they were either fire-based abilities or abilities that could warp or deform reality in some form. In most cases, the abilities displayed by a plaguechanged creature had both attributes at the same time.

Description
The Spellplague distorted everything—stone, flesh, and even the spirit. Creatures affected by the Spellplague were warped in the same way, although every creature manifestad those changes differently. The single attribute linking all plaguechanged creatures was that all creatures developed some indicator of blue flames. Because of their violent transformation, all plaguechanged creatures had lost their sanity.

A spellscar was a lesser form of the plaguechanged affliction.

History
The term "plaguechanged" was originally used to describe the first generation of creatures afflicted by the Spellplague of 1385 DR. Most of those creatures died in the following years, although some survived into the late years of the 15 DR.

By 1479 DR, however, any creature warped by the Spellplague that showed a transformation more potent and twisted than a spellscar was considered plaguechanged.
