Glossy, toxic toadstool-tanks left-over from some ancient, forgotten Devic war fought with flora mutated into malign biomachines of mayhem and destruction. Quintapoidal Fungi are fearsome predators that prowl malignant sterile-wastes and hyper-fecund jungles alike, avoiding only the worst extremes of the polar regions.

Spore Effects

1. Target is blinded for 1d4 turns and must make a second Save or be permanently blinded from fungal growths sprouting out of their schlera.
2. Victim is coated in a fine, yellowish powder that is extremely sticky and terribly poisonous, inflicting 2d6 damage each turn until removed or neutralized (water won't work, wine will take 4 or more turns, urine will dissolve the spores in 1 turn). If not removed within 4 hours, the spores will extend mycelial filaments into the host's body. The infiltration will be so severe that they are impossible to remove without Cure Disease. After 3 days the spores have so taken-over the host's body that even Cure Disease will no longer work and they become a fungal creature.
3. Everyone within a 30' radius must make a Save or be incapacitated due to constant sneezing, itching, watery eyes and bloat-like swelling in the extremities for 2d4 turns.
4. As Harm spell (LL p. 23); removes all but 1d4 hit points and causes magical disease that causes a terrible withering that will lead to death in 1d12 days unless cured by a Cure Disease spell. Affects all in 20' radius.
5. Necrosis (Reverse of Regenerate, LL p. 25).
6. Cause Fear (LL p. 25).
