+ | rules=A ''geas/quest'' places a magical command on a creature to carry out some service or to refrain from some action or course of activity, as desired by you. The creature must be able to understand you. While a ''geas'' cannot compel a creature to kill itself or perform acts that would result in certain death, it can cause almost any other course of activity. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The ''geased'' creature must follow the given instructions until the ''geas'' is completed, no matter how long it takes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the instructions involve some open-ended task that the recipient cannot complete through his own actions the spell remains in effect for a maximum of one day per caster level: otherwise, the ''geas/quest'' is permanent. A clever recipient can subvert some instructions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the subject is prevented from obeying the ''geas'' for 24 hours, it takes a -1 penalty to each of its ability scores and to its Hero Value. Each day, another -1 penalty accumulates, with no maximum penalty. No ability score can be reduced to less than 1 by this effect. The ability score and Hero Value penalties are removed 24 hours after the subject resumes obeying the ''geas''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A ''geas'' (and all ability score and Hero Value penalties) can be ended by ''remove curse'', if its Caster Level is at least two higher than the ''geas/quest'''s Caster Level. ''Break enchantment'' does not end a ''geas/quest''.| | ||
