[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5373892, member: 57383"] Yes, a dozen or two Wastrels each draining a point of Con from the same opponent every 24 hours would get through parties of PCs pretty quickly! Hmm, the original text doesn't make clear whether it's 1 Con [I]per bird[/I] or just 1 Con / day no matter how many Wastrels hit. I think I would make the draining cumulative, otherwise it'd take the Wastrels a couple of weeks or more to drain most PCs to death, which seems too slow. Maybe put a maximum limit on the number of birds that can drain a single opponent (maybe 6?) or say the draining of multiple birds is spread out - e.g. four birds would drain one Con every 6 hours rather than four Con every 24 hours. I prefer the latter approach, since it should increase the tension nicely. A character pecked by two dozen Wastrels will lose 1 Con per hour, which still gives them time to do something about it.
