(Pronounced: Ro-hoy-yah uh-ah-see)
He has been used in the past in dangerous situations when, for example, a person cannot move or is not able to move due to paralysis, poisons, or other such things and he can force them onto their feet to flee. In the cases of possessions, he can counteract them.
Originating from a tribe of black Kalashtar 'spirit speakers.' This doll is originally for a Shaman to help people physically overcome something. Made to combat signature spirits that would take or subdue the rights & wills of others, and to combat any maledictions that would stop people from moving forward.
Additional thing for a growing vodou doll; next stage, ability wise he would be able to temporarily suppress anything causing paralysis, stunned, or restrained if its from another creature specifically restraining the target.
1) as its current curse, it gives exhaustion an whatnot if your 'captive' falls below a quarter of HP, then you get backlash. Exhaustion, unable to sleep,. and if someone dies in your possession then your maximum HP is reduced by 1d6
2) If you repeatedly use it to hold, torture, an kill people - it might actually modify you, decreasing your persuasion & insight checks but increasing your athletics & intimidation checks.
