Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 7204174" data-attributes="member: 57383">In that case.Updating the <a href="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?POSTs" target="_blank">Priest of Ythog-Nthlei Working Draft</a>.It's already got Rend listed, we just haven't settled on the damage yet.The original text is "For every additional appendage that strikes a single target after the first, the priest will do 1-8 more points of damage, because he will then begin ripping his opponent apart." which suggests 1d8 damage for the Rend.Is that enough? Most creatures with Rend have higher base damage dice with it than their claws. i.e. Dire Ape (1d6+6 claw 2d6+9 rend), Gray Render (1d6+6 claw 2d6+9 rend), Girallon (1d4+6 claw 2d4+9 rend).That inclines me to give it a Rend damage of 2d8+7 - more base damage dice while keeping the eight-sider of the original.I guess we'll just recycle the Girallon's version of Rend, since they have four arms too.Rend (Ex): A priest of Ythog-Nthlei that hits with two or more claw attacks latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d8+7 points of damage.Sure!Are we calling it Sense Drain then?The following is a literal interpretation of the ability.Sense Drain (Su): Any living creature hit by a priest of Ythog-Nthlei's bite attack immediately loses the use of a single sense, determined by a d6 roll (1 = taste; 2 = smell; 3 = touch [victim unable to case somatic spells]; 4 = hearing [deafness]; 5 = sight [blindness, including darkvision]; 6 = any sense that does not fall under options 1-5, such as blindsight or ESP). If the roll result is a sense the target does not possess the bite has no special effect.The target regains use of the sense 1d6 minutes after being drained if they succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save. Otherwise, the sense drain is permanent. Casting remove curse and restoration upon a victim restores all drained senses to them. The save DC is Constitution-based.I'm inclined to combine taste/smell into a single sense and make it five options:Sense Drain (Su): Any living creature hit by a priest of Ythog-Nthlei's bite attack immediately loses the use of a single sense, determined by a d10 roll (1-2 = taste/smell; 3-4 = touch [victim unable to case somatic spells]; 5-6 = hearing [deafness]; 7-8 = sight [blindness, includes darkvision]; 9-10 = any sense that does not fall under options 1-5, such as blindsight or ESP). If the roll result is a sense the target does not possess the bite has no special effect.The target regains use of the sense 1d6 minutes after being drained if they succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save. Otherwise, the sense drain is permanent. Casting remove curse and restoration upon a victim restores all drained senses to them. The save DC is Constitution-based.</blockquote>
