[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5111065, member: 57383"] I'm getting the impression it can take on an animal form that's either four-legged or two-legged or turn into a handsome female human, giving it three alternate forms like some lycanthropes. I'd throw in Sylvan since I feel they'd associate with trickster Fey. Oh yes, and maybe Diplomacy as well. Do we want to give them any of the Fox's racial boni? [I]Scare[/I] is fine by me, and [I]legend lore[/I] is a good fit to know history. I'd like to give them [I]mirage arcana[/I] as one their high-level SLAs, so they can do that old "make a dilapidated ruin look like a palace" trick. I'll go along with all that. Regarding the level-draining, it needn't be that complicated. We just need something like: Life-Draining: Once a day, a hu hsien can feed on the life force of a human victim it has enchanted with its fascinate power. The hu hsien must remain in close, friendly contact with its victim for an hour, at the end of which it bestows one negative level on its victim. The victim is totally blinded by love and does not realize what has befallen them and will allow the hu hsien to slowly drain them to death, one negative level per day. The victim can only be saved if the hold of the fascinate power is broken (e.g. by [I]break enchantment[/I]) or the hu hsien is driven away or destroyed by others. [/QUOTE]
