Vision Moss is a purplish-green, puffy moss that can be found in large
patches underground, typically where moisture collects. It is quite
sensitive, and will release airborne spores from its spore pods with
the slightest touch. PCs brushing it, either intentionally or
inadvertently will cause a 10′ radius cloud to be released, all within
the cloud must save vs. breath weapon or be affected within 1d4
rounds. The main effect of the spore is that it is a powerful
hallucinogen, causing those affected to act with paranoid
delusions. Elves are immune to the effects of the spores.
For example, they may see attacks against them where there are none
(even from other PCs), or believe they are being chased by a cave
troll, etc. They will attack, defend or run away as appropriate. The
duration of the hallucinations is variable per person, but is
generally 2d4 rounds. Afterwards, affected PCs will be dizzy and weak,
and fight with -2 to all to-hit rolls for the next 1/2-hour. Here are
a few ideas, roll a d6 for the effect or add your own:
+--+--------------------------------------------------+
|1 |Drop whatever they are holding and run screaming |
| |in a random direction |
+--+--------------------------------------------------+
|2 |Attack the nearest PC or monster |
+--+--------------------------------------------------+
|3 |Cower in the fetal position |
+--+--------------------------------------------------+
|4 |Attempt to get away from the party surreptitiously|
+--+--------------------------------------------------+
|5 |Attempt to steal treasure or belongings from |
| |another party member |
+--+--------------------------------------------------+
|6 |Believe other party members want their treasure or|
| |belongings, draw their weapon and make threats |
| |(roll again next round) |
