“A pox upon you! A POX!”

You place a curse on the subject. Choose one of the following three effects.

• -6 decrease to an ability score (minimum 1).

• -4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks.

• Each turn, the target has a 50% chance to act normally; otherwise, it takes no action.

The GM may add additional, more unique options to this spell, but they should be no more powerful than those described above (particularly when it comes to in-combat applications).

The curse bestowed by this spell cannot be dispelled, but see Removing a Curse.

Augment: If you spend an additional 6 spell points, you can select from a different menu of options:

1. One of the subject’s ability scores are reduced to 1.

2. -8 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks.

3. Each turn, the target has a 25% chance to act normally; otherwise, it takes no action.
