Description

You try to alter the target's emotions in some way.\nThe calm effect calms agitated or excited creatures. Affected creatures can defend themselves but not take violent actions or do anything destructive. Attacks made or damage dealt against an affected creature automatically terminates the spell. The spell also suppresses any bonuses and penalties based on morale and fear.\nThe rage effect instills the targets with berserker rage, giving a +2 morale bonus to Str and Con, +1 morale bonus on Will defense, and a -2 penalty on DeC.

Variations & Options:

Sadness option: You cause great sadness, giving the targets a -2 morale penalty on all action checks, weapon damage rolls, and defenses.\nDespair option: Same as sadness, but with a -4 penalty (instead of -2).\nHope option: You instill hope, giving the targets a +2 morale bonus on all action checks, weapon damage rolls, and defenses.\nHeroism option: Same as hope, but with a +4 bonus (instead of +2).\nMirth option: The target laughs uncontrollably, falling prone and rendered unable to take actions. This effect does not work against creatures of Int 2 or lower.\nDiscord option: The target becomes very irritated and aggressive. Each round there is a 50% chance that it attacks the nearest conscious creature with its most effective attack.\nDeath wish option: The target gets a suicidal urge and spends its actions trying to harm itself in the most efficient manner. This can include attacking itself, provoking opportunity attacks, jumping into a fire, etc.\nDancing option: The target gets an uncontrollable urge to dance and can perform no other actions. The dancing imposes a -4 penalty to DeC, -10 penalty to Ref defense, and negates any parry bonus to DeC.

Resolution & Action Check Results:

S - You successfully affect the emotions of the target.\nES - The effect's duration increases by one step for free.\nF - You fail to affect the target.
