DC 18 (Will)

A touch from a bes brings up feelings of uncontrollable anger in someone, making one no longer able to recognise friend from foe. Those touched must succeed a Will saving throw (DC18) or become confused and gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Strength for 1d4 rounds. The affected creature can attempt a new saving throw at the end of every round. A successful save ends the confusion and the bonus to Strength. The save DC is Charisma-based.
