Dealing With Confusion

[Sehnder]

As a result of a FPS scenario, I am now living with a very real problem related to the confused condition. Minor chronicle sheet spoiler with details.

Spoiler:

Ruin of Bonekeep chronicle "boon". Confused for 1 round whenever I take a point of int/wis/cha damage. No saves allowed, 1 round PER point of damage. Absolutely brutal "reward" for clearing the scenario.

So net net, I know my character is going to get confused for many rounds at a time. I have been looking around to see if there is any means of preventing confusion or eliminating it when it occurs, but so far I have not been able to find anything. I'm hoping I'm missing something, because otherwise I feel like my character is a walking time bomb to cause a TPK (either by attacking others or being useless). Thanks for any help!

Well, if you're confused and then attacked, you always counterattack your attacker. If you can ensure that the last person to attack you is an enemy, that should help a bit.

Sounds pretty nasty though. Is it a punishment for ending the adventure badly?

Nope, you gain the punishment just for participating. If you win you get a boon as well (which I did), but you get saddled with the punishment just for participating. The punishment is a lot worse than the boon- would never have played it if I knew ahead of time.

Wow. That's pretty nasty.

From some forum/review searches, it looks like part 2 deals with curing something icky you picked up in part 1? Maybe part 3, if it ever is written, will deal with the stuff you got in part 2?

I guess for now I'll put this on my list of "don't play it".
