So, I've never run a FoP in a game before.
Just some questions about how it's possession works (The FoP in question is an Unholy Scion Human, if it matters).
If it successfully controls a PC, whose stats do I use? The PC's, or the FoPs? Or do I use the PCs physical stats and the FoPs mental ones?
Does the controlling FoP use the characters HP or it's own when taking damage?
Does the controlling FoP have access to the PCs class abilities?
Once in control, does the Unholy Scion FoPs Unholy Strike (Su) ability apply to attacks it makes with the PCs body?
In short, I'm quite confused about what stats to use for a PC controlled by the FoP - which PC stats do I use, and which FoP.
I've read over the rules a couple of times but I'm struggling to make sense of it...
On a related note, is it a horrible thing to do as a DM? The party has a McGuffin that the FoP's bosses want back quite badly. The FoP is currently hiding in one of the PCs weapons, waiting for a chance to try and steal back the McGuffin. I'm hoping the PCs will be able to subdue the FoP before it gets away. As well as it's innate abilities, it has access (via Versatile Spellcaster) to 2nd level Beguiler spells.
Cheers - T
