Description
Enter a general description for your monster here.
Blood or Brain worms are two sides of similar creatures. Both are summoned by a spell, at level 2+, a spell caster can infect a host / carrier with Blood Worms if the victim fail a save vs Constitution and / or a following save vs Spells roll. If one or both of these saves succeed, then the target of this curse continues on as though nothing has happened, though they may sense that something is amiss. If the Constitution roll is failed only, the Blood Worms has been summoned but the intended victim has proven resistant to this infection. A +3 to these saves applies for Paladins. a +2 For Lawful Alignments, and a +1 for Good Alignments applies. In this case, the worms drop away and can instead infect anyone who comes in contact with these worms through contact with bare skin. Once infected, these worms will reproduce in the warmth of the victim's body and spread to bedevil their hosts after 1D4 days with the feel of movement at first an growing to also seeing 3 inch long worms crawling under the skin. The eggs for these worms can be transferred through saliva and by breath through direct contact (such as eating or drinking after the infected subject or kissing them or sexual contact (intimacy)). These worms' movements can prove very distracting (- 1D4) on to hit and saving throws along with other applicable bonuses and penalties. However, these worms are easily gotten rid of. A cure spell along with 3 Bless Spells cast over 3 days or the healing powers of a Paladin may help.
At Level 7, this spell may alternately summon Brain Worms which are similar to Blood Worms except; these happen only in the Brain region of the victim's body. They do not show up as physically moving under the victim's skin. They can prove even more distracting (-1 additional point penalty to to Hit rolls, Saving rolls and random movements applied to the host along with confusion and insanity after 3 Days) applies. Curing this problem is more difficult requiring the same cure as the Blood Worms, but if this does not cure the problem, and the worms are not seen under the victim's skin, a roll vs Constitution at -1 per turn cumulative, must be successfully completed and a Cure Major Wounds Spell must be cast upon the hot to rid them of these worms. this new penalty will stop at its current rate if the spell caster casting the curse is found, killed and buried with some of these worms which destroys them.
