OA BESTIARY: BUSO

Fear Aura. A tigbanua buso is shrouded in a constant aura of fear.  Creatures that start their turn within 10 feet of the tigabnua buso must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened until the start of its next turn.  If a creature’s saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to the buso’s Fear Aura for the next 24 hours.

Tagamaling Curse. A humanoid wounded by a tigbanua buso’s claw attack must succeed at a Constitutin saving throw (DC 12) or contract a terrible curse.  Each night, there is a cumulative 1% chance (1% the first night, 2% the second night, 3% the third night, and so on) that a cursed character undergoes a horrible transformation that lasts the duration of the night.  A transformed victim becomes a tagamaling buso: Its feet become long and bony, its eyeballs fuse together into a single red or yellow eye, its hands sprout sharp claws, and its teeth enlarge into horrible fangs. The tagamaling buso’s Intelligence score becomes 2 for the duration of the transformation, and the creature attacks every creature it sees. In tagamaling form, a character cannot use any exceptional, supernatural, or spell-like abilities, spells, skills based on Intelligence or Charisma, or class abilities. It attacks with claws and bite like a tigbanua buso.  When dawn arrives, the transformed victim returns to its natural form and retains no memory of any actions committed during the night.  The character is exhausted the next day (1 level of exhaustion).  A cursed character can be cured with greater restoration or remove curse within the first ninety-nine days of infection.  When the chance of transformation reaches 100% (after one hundred days), the victim can no longer be cured by any means short of a wish or miracle and becomes and full tigbanua buso.
