Altered Effect

Vulnerability of some Monsters

Description from the Dor Un Avathar

A general category for spells, effects or abilities that function in an irregular and generally harmful manner against a particular Monster. See entries for complete details.

Listing of altered affects

• Angelic Hero treats Sever Spirit as Lost
• Banshee will die instantly if affected by a Dispel Magic
• Devas: may only use their Heal and Mend on others, not on themselves. (Unless they are sixth level, then they may heal themselves once per game.)
• Extra-Planar Entity:Each Entity must pick a common attack form of School of Magic which bypasses all remaining armor and immunities. If the effect would not ordinarily cause damage (like a Control spell), the Entity must take a wound (attacker's choice) and may be slain through wounds in this manner. Examples: Blunt Weapons, Projectiles, Subdual, Flame, Ice, etc.
• Medusa:A Medusa who strikes the Shield of Reflection with a Petrify bolt becomes Petrified herself.
• Nosferatu: may not be Resurrected, Heal, Reanimate, Transform, or Reincarnate
• Salt Elemental: Instantly slain if it comes into contact with a Water Elemental, Undine or similar ceratcher.
• Skeleton: If Resurrection is used on a Skeleton (save those summoned by the spell Transform), it is forced to play out that life as a warrior of the same level as the skeleton.
• Werewolf Cure Disease forces a Werewolf to revert to a Peasant for the rest of that life.
