I'm confused on what drain damage is and how it works. For example, Demon Fever caused 1d6 CON damage, target must make a second FOrt save or 1 point of the damage is drain instead.

What does the drain damage do?

Thanks

I get it now. I was checking how Hero Lab handles ability damage and ability drain and learned that every 2 points of ability damage reduces the bonus of that ability by 1. And of course ability drain actually targets the ability score outright. Feeling stupid here that I did not recognize this before. Where in the core rules is this explained?

I found it! Page 555 Core rules under "Ability Score Damage, Penalty and Drain"

Thanks for the clarification. I had a hunch this would be the best way to approach that avenue should it arise.

Borran Klosk (from Forgotten Realms: The Jewel of Turmish by Mel Odom) is not an average mohrg. His tongue alone is one nasty weapon. It can shatter bone, wood and break stone. Borran can also cast spells. Has anyone ever made a stat block for him? He'd be a fun villain to run with.

In running the Harrowing I see a potential quirk, couldn't players utilize Biyo Venna to locate the Striding Fortress? He is after all Zassrion's chef, and I presume will be heading back to the Fortress. Provided the players save him from the Tengu clowns.
