Parasitic Beast

Taint has burdened you with a... thing. Every day its bond grows tighter, and every day its control greater.
Parasitic Beast functions like Demon's Arm, except that if the character ever fails the Will check to resist becoming Confused by 5 or more, he or she is instead Compelled for both of his or her actions as the parasite takes control. With few exceptions, the parasite is hostile to the character's allies, and will attack them brutally and effeciently. It will also preferentially target any creature which used and effect of the appropriate Descriptor to trigger the Damage in the first place.
In addition, the parastite continuously drains nutrients and energy from your body. Every day, you must make a Fortitude check with your Taint Dice Pool (DC 10 + 1/2 the game's Power Level, rounded up). If you fail, you lose a number of points of Strength equal to the amount you failed the check by (so if you had a result of 13 on a DC of 15, you would be Drained of 2 ranks of Strength). This is a true Drain, and thus if your Strength dips below 0 as a result of the parasite, you risk having your Strength Crippled.
