[sblock]I've used that trick twice now. Once as a ward/guardian magical effect. The other time... The PCs were walking through demon-infested colony and were feeling rather cocky; I wanted to shock them back to reality. I had them make fort saves; the people who failed puked.For the rest of the session, I would have PCs make fort checks, or say, "Your stomach feels ill", but never follow up with the evil vomit.I think it would also work great if they are just exposed to some sort of energy. Like a meteor strike, or an artifact, and if they've been in the area too long, just hit them with it.[/sblock]This reminds me. When you plan on throwing aberrations, it's also a good idea to just throw weird stuff that has no relation to them whatsoever, but just is odd. For instance, a fleshy membrane over a door/walls. Slime that bubbles up from the ground. Empty cocoons/fleshy pods. Etc. Don't explain it.</blockquote>
