Confusion
Certain drugs, poisons, injuries, illnesses, spells, demonic powers, and even a creature called the ikanaria butterfly can all influence a hero’s mind and cause the condition Confused. The duration for this condition is given in the description of the respective cause. Remove one level of Confusion every hour, unless directed otherwise.Example: Rowena contracts an illness and becomes weak and mildly feverish (1 level of Confusion). According to the illness’s description, all of her checks suffer a –1 penalty until she gets well. If the description of the illness had not given a different duration for the condition, her level of Confusion would have gone away in one hour.
- I Mildly confused: –1 on all checks
- II Confused: –2 on all checks
- III Very Confused: –3 on all checks; complex actions (like spellcasting, liturgical chants, and the use of lore skills) are impossible
