== Yugoloth Dust ==
{{#set:Summary=As it turns out, properly prepared cremated yugoloths have a drug-like effect on the minds of others.}}

Yugoloths who have perished by extreme displays of magical fire sometimes leave behind a dry white ash powder which can be inhaled, either by dusting or snorting, for a powerful and dangerous drug effect.  It produces powerful hallucinations and grants the user dark insight into the true nature of things, and reduces their drive to do anything, filling them with a terrible apathy to the things around them.  The other side effects vary based on the greatest vice the yugoloth possessed in life, roll randomly for a package of yugoloth dust of unknown origin.

As a drug, it functions similar to both a poison and a disease.  It has an initial effect, and a secondary effect 1 minute later, both which can be resisted with a successful DC 20 [[fortitude]] save.  They have side effects which kick in the moment the initial and secondary effects of the drug ends, and they sometimes have special effects if you overdose on them.  Finally drugs have an addiction rating, which functions like a disease.  At a later point, you must succeed on a [[fortitude]] save or take increasingly successive penalties until you satisfy your addiction, or you make two successful saves in a row to fight off the addiction.

If any effect would render you immune to the negative initial or secondary effects of the drug, the drug does not function.  However you are free to repair any damage done afterwards.

''Initial Effect:'' Vivid hallucinations, lose any morale or mind-affecting effects currently on you, become dazed for 3d10 minutes.

''Secondary Effect:'' 1d4 points of [[Wisdom]] damage, a ''[[SRD:Commune|commune]]'' spell effect (5 questions).

''Side Effects:'' Various, depending on the chart below.  If the yugoloth type is unknown, roll at random.

''Addiction Rating:'' Medium, DC 10.  Every day you must make the saving throw or take 1d4 [[Dex]] and 1d4 [[Wis]] damage.  Every 5 days you go without using the drug (and unsuccessfully kicking the addiction) the DC rises by +5.  Satisfying yourself by taking the drug resets the DC back to 10.
