Spell description
What a way to go...... this spell at first causes a person to feel a little
hungry. If this person fails a saving throw, he (no sexism here - 'he' used
for neutrality) will want to go for a snack. But the person actually feels
hungrier after he eats. This spell works by causing someone to feel hungrier
the more he eats. He may grow fatter and all, but he still feels terribly
hungry. This causes death through two possible means: 1) The person eats
himself to death. 2) The person becomes so full of hunger that he tears
at his own flesh, causing him to bleed to death. The spell lasts for 3 days
originally, then each day the person makes a Constitution check - he makes
it, the spell ends, he fails it, it continues one more day. Spells like
Remove Curse, Dispel Magic, etc can end this spell. As for spells like Goodberry,
the victim rolls 1d4:
-1- The spell ends.
-2- Victim feels better. In one day the spell restarts like the old roach
that never dies.
-3- The victim throws up all he has eaten. The spell continues at the starting
point.
-4- No effect.
The required material component is a ripped-out stomach of a creature of
the same race as the victim.
