Void Healingdefensive

A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.

The Canker cultist devours a chunk of the corpse or the lump of decaying flesh and regains Hit Points. They regain 1d6 healing Hit Points from consuming the flesh of a creature that died within the last hour, and 2d6 healing Hit Points from the lump. The cultist can regain Hit Points from any given corpse only once.
