Wendigo Psychosis (Su)

Curse—Nightmare or wind walk; save Will DC 26; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d4 Wis drain (minimum Wis 1); cure 3 consecutive saves.

When a victim’s Wisdom reaches 1, he seeks an individual of his race to kill and devour. After completing this act, the afflicted individual takes off at a run, and in 1d4 rounds sprints up into the sky at such a speed that his feet burn away into jagged stumps. The transformation into a wendigo takes 2d6 minutes as the victim wind walks across the sky. Once the transformation is complete, the victim is effectively dead, replaced by a new wendigo. True resurrection, miracle, or wish can restore such a victim to life, yet doing so does not harm the new wendigo.

The save is Charisma-based.

So, my question is this: as long as your Wisdom doesn't hit 1, you can get the Wisdom drain removed by Restoration to keep the curse at bay. That much is clear.

But what happens if your Wisdom DOES hit 1?

A. Is the curse "triggered" and no longer removable at that point (basically a new permanent effect, maybe removable by something stronger like (Limited) Wish)?
B. Is the curse still removable via Remove Curse but Restoration no longer has an impact?
C. Can Restoration "reverse" the "Go eat someone" effect triggered at 1 Wisdom?
D. Something else?

Silver Crusade

I'd say C.


Not sure whether B or C is more correct. I'd run it as B.
