I fell in love with the Agnoia Aeon, found in Concordance of Rivals, but I'll admit I can't realize how to use it effectively in my campaign.
Its main ability is “Forgotten one".
Victims of this attack have their intellects reduced, and their effect upon the cosmic network of knowledge is dulled—people once familiar with a victim find their recollections clouding over, and any intellectual influence a victim may have had (such as authored works, public lectures, or tales of daring exploits) is removed. This effect even extends to printed works; a shelf of books authored by a victim transforms into paper covered with incomprehensible marks, unable to convey meaning or knowledge.
Although this power is permanent, it is reversible, unfortunately for the agnoias. If a victim’s intellect is restored, so too are her works and the memories of her.
A creature under the effects of an agnoia’s feeblemind cannot be the target of divination spells, including discern location or legend lore.
In addition, memory of the target is dulled in all creatures other than aeons; the target cannot be considered an ally of any creature. Most creatures forget about the target once it is out of sight, although friends and family members might retain memories for longer based on the strength of their feelings for the target.
So, how would you handle these three situation?
1) a npc friend/family member of the pcs is affected by forgotten one (this should be the easiest one);
2) a npc non friend/family member of the pcs is affected by forgotten one (this starts to be tricky);
3) the pcs are tailing a non friend/family member npc, affected by forgotten one, inside a city.
The npc is on a wheelchair, and is treated as a brain injured person, raising no suspicion about her real condition.
The npc turns around a building, and the pcs lose sight of her for a few seconds.
Since “most creatures forget about the target once it is out of sight”, what would you say to your pcs?
Thanks in advance.
