New template for mind-control bugs

[Jimbro]

I created a template for bugs which climb into your ear and control your mind. Let me know what you think! Once it's all good I want to submit it to the fan creation database!

Meh. Seems overpowered. Why does it raise all the host's attributes? The casting should be based on the bug's intelligence, not the host, because the host is not in control. Hmm...

I don't feel like it's OP based on all the creatures to whom I applied the template. Seems to raise challenge rating by 1 at the most.

The Intelligence of the bug is imposed on that of the host. Because the bug is control they're actually sharing stats as one creature so the template uses the host as a base but changes things up as the bug taps into its brain. It seemed more complicate to say raise the bug's mental stats and the host's physical stats and combine them. I thought that was pretty self-evident, but I can spell it out better based on this feedback. Thanks.
