Gravemarked. After having visited the interior of the Great Mother's Grave and returned, you have been marked by Terra. Over your heart, in an area equal in size to the palm of your hand, your skin has paled, even appearing a silvery grey when the light strikes at certain angles. Sometimes you feel strange sensations in this area; a sudden chill or warmth, an itch, a tightening or loosening of the skin, etc. You believe these sensations may have some underlying causes or meanings, but only study and practice will reveal what these may be.

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all saving throws vs. negative energy and death effects.
