[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7032638, member: 57383"] Okay, if the above is acceptable we need to decide on a DC for the Fortitude save. Furthermore, should we have anything about how to turn a victim of the scorpion crown back into their former non-scorpion form? If we want to specify that I'm thinking it should take something like slaying the victim then using [I]wish[/I] or [I]miracle[/I] to remove the curse (or doing both by destroying the crown) and then restoring the victim to life. Shattados and his cronies have been dead way too long for [I]raise dead[/I] to work, but I guess a really high level [I]true resurrection[/I] could work, or there's always [I]reincarnation[/I]. Come to think of it, what effect do polymorph spells have? Maybe they change form but still act as "monstrous" as they did in scorpion form, then turn back to scorpion-hybrids after a while. I'm tempted to add a proviso along the lines of "if a cursed scorpion-hybrid is affected by non-lethal transformation magic such as [I]flesh to stone[/I] or [I]baleful polymorph[/I] it will always revert back to its monstrous form eventually, even if the effect is normally permanent. The maximum duration a transformation spell can last is a number of days equal to the spell level multiplied by the caster level (i.e. a [I]polymorph any object[/I] from a 20th-level caster would never last more than 160 days)." I'd be concerned that might over-complicate things, though. [/QUOTE]
