Logic-Overriding Postulate
Infinite Lotus (Strike) [Charm, Mind-Affecting]
Level: 5
Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Melee attack
Target: One creature
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: Will negates
A little logic can be a dangerous thing, and experienced Infinite Lotus Disciples understand this better than anyone. By focused and directed meditation on insane arguments, otherworldly theories and logical constructions that rework the minds of those who attempt them, the Disciple builds up a reserve of arguments that can prove anything right - or wrong. With a precise movement of their body, combined with a chosen few words, they can deliver a powerful blow to the head which causes their unfortunate opponent to rethink their deepest beliefs - in a way the Disciple sees best, of course.

As part of initiating this maneuver, make a single melee attack. If this hits, it deals an additional 3d6 damage. The target must make a Will save. If this is failed, their alignment changes to any alignment you choose, provided it is not opposed to your own (good opposes evil, chaos opposes law). Additionally, the target regards you as a trusted ally and friend, in a similar way to a charm monster spell. Note that the additional damage occurs regardless of whether the save passes or fails.

The additional effects are permanent. However, an ally of the target within 30ft can attempt to convince it to return to its normal ways with a full-round action. Each ally of the target may only attempt this once. If they do, the target can make another Will save at the same DC to end the additional effects. Furthermore, if the target would lose access to class abilities because of this effect, they may attempt a new save each day by spending a full-round action rethinking their life. Otherwise, the effect lasts permanently, and can only be removed by something which can remove curses.

Creatures immune to mind-affecting abilities or charms are immune to the additional effects, but not the normal or extra damage.
