PublicationPathfinder Impossible MagicRemaster

You destroy the target thrall, using its destruction as a catalyst to temporarily possess an enemy. One living or undead target creature within 15 feet of the destroyed thrall must attempt a Will saving throw.


Critical Success The target is unaffected.

Success The target is Controlled by you until the end of your turn, and you can have it take up to one action of your choice: Drop Prone, Interact, Release what it's holding, or Strike. The possessed creature's Strikes use and contribute toward your multiple attack penalty. At the end of your turn, the creature is no longer controlled and becomes Stunned 1. If the creature loses any Hit Points for any reason while it's possessed or stunned by this ability, you lose Hit Points equal to half that amount since your spirit partially lingers within its body.

Failure As success, but you can spend up to 2 actions.

Critical Failure As success, but you can spend up to 3 actions.
