Requirements The bdellavritra is possessing a host using Mind Worm
Effect If the bdellavritra's next action is to Cast a Spell, they reduce the number of actions to cast it by 1 (minimum 1 action).
The bdellavritra spends 10 minutes adjacent to an Unconscious or willing living creature, then attempts to possess its body. This functions as Possession heightened to 9th rank (DC 37 will save), except that it has a duration of 1 month. If affected, the host receives new saving throws only at the start of each day. If the host dies, the bdellavritra must attempt a Fortitude save as normal but is only Stunned 2 on a failure (or Stunned 4 on a critical failure).
Masters of possession, bdellavritras enact complex schemes through pawns in the mortal world. Even if expelled from their hosts, these fiends retain fearsome physical strength with bodies that bely their agility.
