Get it off me, it burns, IT BURNS!Dayum, I'm gonna have to suggest that one at my next game session. Heck, why wait until then? I'm gonna email the suggestion right now.Aww... That's what I get for just simply not having the Persistant Spell in any game I GM in (but someone in a game I'm playing in does have it).Ahh, this reminds me of the first adventure in  a game-world I really enjoyed (Custom).  There were these spiders, see... and if they bite you they were poisoned. Take d4 damage, fort save DC 15 for half. Now do it again in a minute (secondary effect, normal, nothing to worry about). Now again one minute later... and again... Ok, sure it only lasted 10 minutes. But players tended to THINK it was persistant after a few minutes.Plus, for first to second level characters (actually sometimes third, depending on how you got this far), 10d4 points of damage is really bad. It was meant mainly to suck up the cleric's healing. I found it very frightening when I was a player. When I was the GM later on (running it on new ppl), they found it much, much worse. Of course, they didn't bring along a cleric (or a druid, or a bard, or a paladin).  Good think THEY had found the healing fountain room that we missed when I was a PC. It was awesome to see them start running for it after a few minutes had passed.</blockquote>
