It must enter a square occupied by the creature it wishes to possess. The victim is entitled a DC 42 Will save to resist possession. X may simultaniously possess multiple targets at once, up to a number equal to its Charisma modifier. <em>True seeing</em> reveals a thin, ghostly vine extending from the backs of any creatures so possessed, coiling through the air and connecting them together. X possessed creatures must remain within a mile of each other. A possessed creature moved beyond this range is immediatly freed of its possession. The save DC is Charisma-based.<br/>X can take on any of the following roles while possessing a creature: ally, controller or transformer. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>On a slight side note, this particular ability from the Manitou loumara is something I feel I could use some help figuring out.  It was printed in Dragon #359, the last printed issue of Dragon Magazine, so I get the feeling they had to pare some things down in order to make space for everything they wanted to cram into their last issue.  As a result, some of the Manitou's abilities are a bit poorly-defined.<br/><br/>For example, I believe that the Manitou's multi-target possession ability works a bit differently from most possession abilities in that the Manitou doesn't actually need to remain inside any creature it's possessing.  But what if a Manitou is possessing multiple creatures and tries to act as a controller for all of them?  Does it suddenly get extra actions in order to allow each creature to act?  Or what if it tries to act as a transformer for all of them?  Does one Manitou suddenly become two or more?<br/><br/>Though, a Manitou not needing to remain inside a creature it's possessing doesn't mean it can't then re-enter a creature it's possessing, so perhaps it's simply that the Manitou needs to specifically be inhabiting a creature in order to control or transform it, and is otherwise stuck acting as an ally for possessed creatures?  That could be one possible way to resolve it.<br/><br/>Thoughts?
