<p><b>Lunacy</b>
<br />
You experience periods of metal instability, especially during stress. </p>
<p>At 1st level, you take a -4 penalty on Will saves and the DC of using Intimidate against you decreases by 8. You do not take numerical penalties from fear (including hit point damage from <i>phantasmal killer</i> or similar effects), though fear effects can still affect your actions, such as causing you to drop held items or flee from combat. </p>
<p>At 5th level, when you fail a Will save, you become confused rather than suffering the normal effects of the original effect. This <i>confusion</i> lasts as long as the consequences of the failed Will save lasts. On a result of "act normally", you behave as the effect you failed to save against dictates. You do not become confused if you choose to voluntarily give up your saving throw. </p>
<p>At 10th level, any penalty you would take from a mind-affecting effect is reversed into a bonus. This replaces the 1st-level ability to ignore penalties from fear; fear now gives you a bonus. In addition, you can reroll the result of confusion effects you are suffering from, but must accept the second result even if it is worse. In addition, if you confirm a critical hit against a creature while you are confused, the target must succeed on a Will save or be affected as <i>moonstruck</i>APG (caster level equal to your curse level). </p>
<p>At 15th level, when you are confused because of a failed Will save, you decide what you do on a result of "act normally." You become immune to <i>confusion, insanity, moonstruck</i>APG, the horrific appearance of qlippothsB2, the alien presence of outer dragonsB4, the unspeakable presence of great old onesB4, or any effect that causes insanity, madness, or random actions.</p>And here's another:
