Dehydration Attack!

[Lizard Lips]

My group is about to do some adventuring near a subterranean waterfall. I'd like to create some sort of mold or fungus similiar to Brown Mold. Brown Mold sucks up heat, dealin g cold damage to those who get too close. I'd like my "Purple Mold" to suck up water, dehydrating those who get too close. I was thinking of making such an attack inflict Fatigue on those afflicted, but I'd like to see if there is an existing power that mimics a "dehydration attack".

Just mimic the effect...

Purple mold feeds on moisture, drawing water from anything around it. It normally comes in patches 5 feet in diameter, and the humidity is always 0% in a 30-foot radius around it. Living creatures within 5 feet of it take 3d6 points of nonlethal dehydration damage. Liquid water brought within 5 feet of brown mold causes it to instantly double in size. Yellow mold may only double in size once per day.* Dehydration and fire damage, such as from a Horrid Wilting or a Fireball, instantly destroys it.

If you ever want to piss off a Black Dragon, just introduce this charming little mold into his swamp.

*This was added so Purple Mold wouldn't take over the earth in a matter of hours.

Paw through a copy of Sandstorm. It covers this sort of thing in detail.
