Pathfinder 1E Fighting a Vargouille

[jamesmanhattan]

The Poison comes from the "Bite".

If someone is bitten, they must make a DC12 Fort save or suffer the "effect" of the poison.

The effect of the poison is that: the damage becomes hard to cure. When a caster casts Cure Light Wounds on that victim, they must make a DC20 "Caster Level Check" or the spell fizzles, and they lose the spell. That's a d20+(their Level in the spell casting class). i.e very hard. Note: no "ability modifier" such as WIS or CHA gets added to that roll.

I'm DMing the CATACOMBS of WRATH from Rise Of The Runelords tomorrow... read the whole thread, still have a question... would the AOO, if possible from a non paralyzed PC, interrupt the Creature's attempt to kiss a paralyzed victim? I'd asume it since shouldn't be easy to Kiss a victim while being under attack. Thanks!

The kiss provokes an AoO, but unlike spell casting, has no disruption mechanic. It is more akin to firing a bow in melee range: it represents a lowered defensive stance an opponent can take advantage of but being hit doesn't prevent the gambit from moving forward assuming the hit doesn't otherwise prevent it.

Thanks ! My players just killed Tsuto and reached lvl 2, I'm having them going into the Catacombs now. Though the Vargouille is not very "strong", it does have a quite deadly ability, I'm surprised they put such creature at this point of the Campaing.
