I have this silly ass module that states:
"The Cult plans to study the energy of the pool in the hopes of tapping into and controlling that power. In particular, it hopes to immerse the dracolich Pelendralaar in the pool to control the mythal and thereby enhance his abilities far beyond those of any other dracolich."
Sounds nice, right? Well, here are effects for creatures, immersed in pool:
1d12 Result
1 Creature goes completely blind, but gains black
scaly skin and sensory pits like a snake’s (bestowing
the scent extraordinary ability but also causing
blindness and 4 points of permanent Charisma
drain).
2 Creature is slain and revives 1d4 rounds later as a
skeleton, zombie, wight, or shadow (equal chances)
of the same Hit Dice as the creature’s Hit Dice or
levels.
3 Creature ages 10% of his race’s maximum lifespan.
4 Creature grows large gills and finlike growths on the
limbs and back, allowing water breathing and swimming
as a natural movement ability; creature reacts
to any liquid not based on salt water as if it were
arsenic.
5 Creature grows by one size category, gaining reptilian
facial features, +2 to Str and Con, and –4 to Dex
and Cha.
6 Creature dies, the life force absorbed by the pool.
7 Creature hit by an energy drain spell.
8 Creature changes alignment to evil.
9 Creature’s soft tissues become completely invisible
so as to resemble a skeleton, losing 6 points of
Charisma permanently.
10 Creature emits a carrion stench as if under the
effects of a ghoul touch spell.
11 Creature gains the ability to telepathically communicate
with all dragons at a range of 100 feet, but has
a –4 morale penalty to all Will saves against attacks
made by dragons.
12 Creature is henceforth treated as an undead by all
undead, and may be turned as undead of its Hit Dice
or level.
It sux. it just sux.
So playground, what would in your opinion fall under:
"enhance his abilities far beyond those of any other dracolich"
thank you
