Agaric Spores (3.5e Equipment)

Agaric Spores

Agaric Spores is the dust produced by Agaric Dustcap Mushrooms, or the resulting Agarican creatures which may rise from them. Normally they are merely used for reproduction as normal mushrooms, but in the bodies of most living creatures, they settle in the lungs and enter the bloodstream, eventually collecting around the nerves and the brain. The end result is either eventual and permanent paralysis and coma, or a transformation into an Agarican creature.

After the disease manifests, 3 days later the subject must make a Will save DC (10 + Dex damage taken so far), or be possessed by the fungus inside of them. They will immediately 'recover' from the sickness and all the damage taken, though they seem pale faced and constantly be spacing out or speaking strangely. Patches of fungus appear in places on their body. After 7 days, their original personality is gone and a mushroom cap forms on their head, turning them into a Agarican creature. If they make the Will save, they do not have to make another, but must cure themselves of the disease as usual.

Type: Inhaled DC 14
Incubation Time: 1d3 days
Ability Damage: 1d6 Dex damage per day.

Effect: Your nerves are taken over by the fungus, including your brain. As such your dexterity drops until you are paralyzed and helpless.

Curing: Without magic, a successful save stops the damage for the day but does not cure it. 2 successful saves in a row purges you of the damage done.

Price: 180 gp

gollark: So basically, the "god must exist because the universe is complex" thing ignores the fact that it... isn't really... and that gods would be pretty complex too, and does not answer any questions usefully because it just pushes off the question of why things exist to why *god* exists.

gollark: To randomly interject very late, I don't agree with your reasoning here. As far as physicists can tell, while pretty complex and hard for humans to understand, relative to some other things the universe runs on simple rules - you can probably describe the way it works in maybe a book's worth of material assuming quite a lot of mathematical background. Which is less than you might need for, say, a particularly complex modern computer system. You know what else is quite complex? Gods. They are generally portrayed as acting fairly similarly to humans (humans like modelling other things as basically-humans and writing human-centric stories), and even apart from that are clearly meant to be intelligent agents of some kind. Both of those are complicated - the human genome is something like 6GB, a good deal of which probably codes for brain things. As for other intelligent things, despite having tons of data once trained, modern machine learning things are admittedly not very complex to *describe*, but nobody knows what an architecture for general intelligence would look like.
