      Critical Success
      For 1 minute, the target believes that one creature of the japalisura's choice is its mortal foe, spending all its actions to reach and attack that creature. At the end of each of its turns, the target can attempt a 32 Will save to end the effect early.
      Success
      As critical success except the effect ends at the end of the creature's first turn, without the need for a Will save.
      Failure
      The target sees through the japalisura's attempts at misdirection and is temporarily immune to False Foe for 1 day.
    Name
    False Foe
  • Entries
    • Japalisuras can produce infinite arrows, as if from an invisible quiver. Each arrow carries a veil of lies that tears at the target's psyche, dealing 4d6 mental damage while simultaneously imparting an almost addictively sweet sensation. A japalisura's hatchets are also soaked in the same veil of lies. This damage s already reflected in the Strike||Strikes above.
