In fact, I think the "buy a feat to get a save" makes it too easy, unless the Will save is monstrously difficult. Working within the rules, I would do something like this: 1) Use the 20s are 30s,  1s are -10s variant for all to-hit rolls and saving throws. It's a well-established and respected variant, and means that 20s are not auto-successes. Make the Will save necessary to resist the urge something like 40. 2) A PC or NPC can take a Feat (perhaps only if they are lawful and if they've had the necessary training) to double their normal bonus to Will saves when resisting The Call. Or maybe just a straight +5 bonus. Depends on what level your campaign is. Piece of cake. And I don't think many players would complain, especially after they learn how established this is in your world.</blockquote>
