[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5693979, member: 57383"] I prefer a minimum caster level, since a level check usually means the PCs just keep repeating their [I]break enchantment[/I] until it takes hold, but I'll leave that to you. I'd include the secondary effect. Something like this: [B]Death Curse (Su):[/B] If a kappa-ti is killed, it inflicts a powerful curse on the creatures that slew it.
