Mucking around with confusion and monster status effects

Is the idea still that the duration gets reduced by some factor?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Yeah, fair enough. I'm just wondering if what you said earlier about the duration being related to the saving throw roll was still something you were thinking about. It seems to make sense to me that the relation between monster and player level should come into it somehow.

Yeah, I guess I changed my opinion based on what behaviors I wanted the function to take. I think it's reasonable to have duration based solely on clevel.

I'd like to redo that as having personality attributes, which combine to affect things like cleverness and power of spellcasting, resistance to status effects, etc.

We could call it...oh, I don't know...charisma?
