No escape from this except to knock off/kill the wielder.<br /><br />Although, you do give me the idea that instead of a set number of rounds to death it could take x number of rounds, where x is the target's HD. That works great for big creatures, but seems worse for little things, a death ray.<br /><br />Although, maybe for little things that would be balanced by the fact it isn't worth opening yourself up to attacks as wielder if you can just kill it with your sword in two rounds.

A foe trying to resist it gets a save each round but can't do anything else - and his chance to save gets lower as he loses levels/HD. If he rolls particularly well on a save (beats it by X amount), he reverses it - doesn't return a drained level, but does get the augur on step closer to being removed. This would take somebody out of the fight, cause lasting damage, potentially kill the victim and create some tension during combat.John Matthew Staterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310914386482078369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-31653768932832633472011-03-04T08:20:20.088-08:002011-03-04T08:20:20.088-08:00Crap, I'm probably thinking of all the back an...Crap, I'm probably thinking of all the back and forth between 6ish so players and the foe rounds. <br /><br />So, what do you think might work here 5 rounds? 3?Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-655577995585807552011-03-04T05:33:30.531-08:002011-03-04T05:33:30.531-08:00I think the longest combat I've run was someth...I think the longest combat I've run was something like 8 rounds.migellitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106614212764056058noreply@blogger.com
