[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8425198, member: 57383"] [COLOR=blue]For the "stuff about aggressiveness" I'm thinking it ought to be a Wisdom check to determine whether they go mental when provoked, similar to a lycanthrope's Control Shape check. Presumably there's no "Control Aggression" class skill for sufferers of this affliction. I thought about allowing Autohypnosis or Concentration checks, but the DC is so low those would be trivial for any character with a decent investment in those skills.[/COLOR] Once a creature gains a bonus to Strength, Dexterity or Constitution from a powerslug infestation they become increasingly aggressive. Whenever something happens that might provoke anger, the character must succeed at a Wisdom check or lose their temper. For a minor provocation, such as someone spilling their drink, the [[COLOR=red]DC is 5 for every +2 of physical ability bonus, so DC 5 for +2, DC 10 for +4, DC 15 for +6 and DC 20 for +8[/COLOR]]. A moderate provocation, such as being slapped without cause, adds another [[COLOR=red]+5[/COLOR]] to the DC. A severe provocation, such as being attacked, adds [[COLOR=red]+10[/COLOR]] to the DC. If the creature fails this Wisdom check they will attack the provoking object or creature for as long as the provocation lasts plus [[COLOR=red]1d6? or 1d4? or 1d8?[/COLOR]] rounds. Attempting to forcibly remove the powerslug is a serious provocation. All creatures infested with powerslugs hate the taste of salt, so giving one salty food is always at least a moderate provocation, whether it's a coincidence or an attempt to expel the powerslug.
