RAW on Curse of Scales


Rules Questions


I am curious about what RAW says about the following.

A Qallupilluk uses Curse of Scales to turn a child into a Scrag (water troll). Then she puts something (say needles or a big parasite) inside the large sized troll. With regeneration the troll is going to be fine. But what happens when the troll gets turned back into a small sized child? An effect like Quieting needles perhaps?

Curse of Scales (Su) If a qallupilluk grapples a Medium or Small humanoid opponent, her target begins transforming into an aquatic monster. Starting on the third consecutive round of grappling, the grappled target must succeed at a DC 18 Fortitude save every round or fully transform into a grindylow, reefclaw, bunyip, merrow, or scrag. Once fully transformed, the creature is slavishly devoted to the qallupilluk that created it. If the qallupilluk is slain, the creature loses this devotion but remains transformed. The transformation ends after 1 hour or if the creature is slain. A qallupilluk can make this transformation permanent by performing a ritual that takes 10 minutes and deals 30 points of damage to the qallupilluk. This is a curse and polymorph effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.


RAW doesn't say anything.


GM discretion on what happens.
