[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8148895, member: 57383"] That doesn't address my previous objection: I just think it's simpler if it's impossible to target the worry-wart's once it merges with a host, since it's network is so thoroughly spread throughout the host. My preference would be to refer to the "Completed network removal" section of infestation, i.e.: [INDENT]A worry-wart symbiont never takes damage from attacks directed at the host. The symbiotic network can be removed by the methods described in its Infestation special attack (see above).[/INDENT] I'm still be willing to introduce surgical removal of completed networks to the Infestation. [INDENT]A completed symbiotic network can be removed surgically with a DC 40 Heal check, each attempt deals 3d4 Constitution damage to the host. A properly worded [I]wish[/I] or [I]miracle[/I] spell can cause the wart network to vanish. The spells [I]remove disease[/I], [I]heal[/I] or [I]limited wish[/I] will remove the network if the caster succeeds on a DC 25 Heal check. The spells [I]banishment[/I] and [I]dismissal[/I] can force the extraplanar portion of the nibish-riule away and sever it from the network if the nibish-riule fails a Will save (it has a Will save of +10 since the complete entity has to be exorcized). If the campaign used Psionics, the [I]psychic chirurgery[/I] power can be used to sever the nibish-riule's nerve-links to the worry-wart network. Severing the nibish-riule from a symbiotic network leaves its unsightly warts behind, but they become inanimate and eventually heal and fade away like ordinary warts.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
