Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:
If the st is failed by ≤50%, the Target enters Level of Madness 1, within the Domain of Confusion. If the st is failed by >50%, the Target enters Level of Madness 2, within the Domain of Confusion. The Spell does not increase or decrease the Level of Madness of a Target who is already Mad, except where he is at Level of Madness 1, and fails the st by >50%.
If the st is failed, no Hallucination check is made. Instead, the Target automatically Hallucinates, as the result of the Confusion Effect. If the Target is already Mad, failing the st causes him to Hallucinate at his current Level and Domain of Madness.
The exact Hallucination effect suffered by each Confused Target is at the DM's discretion, having regard to the current tactical situation and how badly the st was failed. It will be more severe at Level of Madness 2 than Level of Madness 1. Believing one's comrades are enemies is a typical effect.
After every 10 sec the Confused Target makes a Hallucination check at his current Level of Madness. If he does not Hallucinate, he is temporarily free of the Hallucination, but his Madness remains.
See the Madness System for further
explanation of the effects of Levels of Madness and Hallucination
checks.
