Joints are wonderful things, they help your dog move, jump, chase, and have fun. But sometimes joints are painful. This can keep your dog from jumping up and cuddling on the couch with you or from playing fetch with you. It is a sad thing to see a dog in pain, especially when it keeps him from doing things he used to love.
In this article, we are going to discuss symptoms of joint pain, possible reasons for joint pain, and some actionable ways to prevent and treat joint pain.
Symptoms Of Joint Pain
Dogs are very good at covering up their pain. Sure some can be more dramatic than others and cry the whole time you try to trim their nails. But when it comes to joint pain the signs might be hard to read. The first sign might be your dog jumps up on the couch less or doesn't want to walk as far. The joints may also feel warm or swollen and the dog may lick his joints. Sometimes he may change the way he normally sits or have trouble getting moving after laying down. A dog with joint pain may also choose to not change positions as much. Choosing to stand rather than get comfortable if he thinks you might leave the room soon. More obvious signs might be that your dog limps or holds a leg up at a weird angle.
Reasons For Joint Pain
There are many reasons a dog may develop joint issues. Here are a few of the more common reasons.
Joint issues can develop at an early age. Puppies joints can be very sensitive while the pup is still growing. It is a good idea to protect the pup from excess jumping. If the puppy jumps too much it may cause the pup to grow abnormally. On leg may grow longer than another which will throw off his alignment for the rest of his life. This will cause joint pain.
It is important to note that dogs, especially large dogs like Golden Retrievers, may be prone to joint dysplasia. In addition to making sure you have an amazing breeder be sure to check the environment the large breed puppies are raised in. If the floor is slick and the puppies have a hard time walking on it they are more likely to have and get dysplasia.
If you decide to spay or neuter your dog be sure NOT to do the surgery before your dog is 24 months old. Spaying or neutering your dog before this time could result in permanent joint damage. Early spay/neuter affects the hormones which affect the growth of the puppy, this can cause abnormal growth and joint pain. Early spay/neuter can also result is a 70% increase in hip dysplasia and doubles the risk of bone cancer.
It is also a good idea to minimize vaccines in your dog. Excessive vaccination can cause your dog to destroy the cartilage in his joints. Be especially careful of the distemper vaccine as this has been linked with the most joint damage. Opt to do a titer test, instead of vaccination.
If your dog already has joint pain it is a good idea to avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This is likely what your vet will prescribe. However, NSAIDs can cause a loss of cartilage in the joints. Loss of cartilage in the joints is one of the reasons your dog is in pain already! NSAIDs can also cause a host of other negative side effects.
It is especially important to avoid grains and high-carb foods such as legumes. These have no place in a carnivores (dog's) diet and will cause great, body-wide inflammation. This inflammation will cause not only joint issues but a host of other issues too.
So, those are some causes now let's look into some natural ways to help treat and prevent joint issues in your dog.
You may be wondering "what about kibbles with added glucosamine?" While these kibbles do have some glucosamine added, it isn't nearly enough. Dogs should get 20mg of glucosamine per pound of body weight. That's 1,400mg of glucosamine per day for a 70 pound Golden Retriever. A lot of kibbles have 300mg of glucosamine per kg of food. To get enough glucosamine for your 70 pound Golden he would have to eat about 40 cups of kibble a day! So, sorry to burst your bubble but glucosamine kibbles are just a marketing ploy. They won't really help your pet at all.
Nonetheless, food can be one of the single most important elements of preventing and treating joint issues. A raw, species-appropriate diet focused on reducing inflammation will help to reduce pain and prevent joint issues.
Green lipped mussels can be a great addition to your dog's diet. You can find these in a freeze-dried treat or powder. Green lipped mussels are a great source of omega fatty acids and minerals. They are also an excellent source of glucosamine and chondroitin which are essential for healthy joints.
Trachea can be feed raw or dehydrated. This food is basically made of cartilage. Your dog can break this cartilage down and then use it to make cartilage for himself.
Chicken feet, duck feet, pigtails, oxtails, and knucklebones, are all full of natural glucosamine. When your dog eats these bones raw he can use the glucosamine found in them to help his joints.
Bone broth is a great addition to your dog's diet as well. This is a great natural source of glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid, as well as, other joint supporting compounds.
Blueberries contain many powerful antioxidants that can help to protect your dog's joints.
Probiotic-rich foods include kimchi, kefir, and other foods containing live and active cultures. You likely think of probiotics for gut health. But the more we have been learning the more we are realizing that a healthy gut is important for whole-body health. So help your dog's gut out by feeding probiotic-rich foods or a good probiotic supplement.
Herbs To Help
Boswellia helps to repair damaged tissue.
Licorice root helps to reduce swelling and is also anti-inflammatory.
Gotu Kola helps to stimulate collagen synthesis to heal tendons and ligaments.
Comfrey, this reduces bone inflammation.
Chamomile is a great anti-inflammatory, helps to relieve pain, and reduce swelling.
Cayenne can help to ease pain.
Bromelain relaxes muscles, can help with spasms and reduces inflammation.
Turmeric helps to reduce inflammation and is a powerful antioxidant. Turmeric works best after it is heated and has had fat and pepper added to it. However, you can just buy an organic turmeric supplement that should be ready to use as is.
Ginger is a great root to add to your dog's diet as well. This herb can reduce inflammation and increase circulation in older dogs. You can feed the fresh root to your dog, just be sure to peel the skin off it.
Ashwagandha also helps to reduce inflammation and has antioxidant properties.
Frankincense, yucca, and alfalfa can also help in various ways. Mainly to reduce inflammation.
Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for keeping your dog's inflammation in check. A high-quality omega-3 supplement will be very helpful for his joints and overall health.
CBD oil helps to decrease chronic inflammation, stop premature aging, and reduce pain.
Cold laser therapy may be an option for your dog. Many vets will offer this treatment. It may take several treatments to see improvment, though some dogs respond with the first treatment.
If your dog is overweight it will be helpful to help him lose some weight. A healthy weight will help to alleviate some of the extra pressure on the joints. This, in turn, eases pain.
Keeping your dog warm is a very important part. Most joints will be extra painful when cold. Be sure to provide your dog with a warm sweater in the winter. Some dogs will need this outside and others might need a sweater inside and a warm coat for outside. Be sure they have a nice warm place to sleep as well.
A nice thick orthopedic foam bed can be a great way to help your pet sleep comfortably. If your dog sleeps on the bed with you then providing him with a ramp to easily access the bed is a good idea. You can also get ramps for your couch and your car.
Acupressure, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and massage can all help bring mobility and pain relief to your aching pet. Be sure to work with qualified professionals, though you can practice massage at home. Listen to your dog and he will let you know if you are messaging too hard or if you are hurting him.
This one may seem silly but keeping your dog's nails short is essential. Long nails can throw off your dog's balance and cause him to walk differently. This change in walking can cause extra stress on his joints.
Exercise though painful is still very important to your dog. Swimming can be a great way to get exercise without putting stress on the joints. It's a good idea to put a lifejacket on your dog when swimming just to make it a little easier for him. Many vets offer hydrotherapy, essentially an underwater treadmill, for dogs. This could be another good option.
Whether your dog currently has joint pain or you are simply wanting to prevent joint issues there is a lot you can do. Being sure to provide your dog with appropriate food is paramount! You can also provide several different herbs and foods to support your dog's joint health.

Impact of Preexisting Structural Cardiac Disease on Successful Arteriovenous Access Creation
Jeffrey B Edwards, Zachary B Fang, Susan M Shafii, Luke P Brewster, Arya Shipra, Yazan Duwayri, Ravi K Veeraswamy, Thomas F Dodson, Ravi R Rajani
Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA
Background: Permanent arteriovenous access has been widely accepted as the preferred modality of vascular access in hemodialysis for its reduced morbidity and mortality compared with other options. Current guidelines recommend that hemodialysis should be initiated via permanent access, but fistula or graft maturation is a challenge in some patient populations. A preoperative diagnosis of heart failure has been implicated as one potential contributor to access non-maturation, but the effect of specific parameters of cardiac function have not been previously studied.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for all patients who underwent permanent arteriovenous access creation at a single institution over a three year period. Data collected included standard demographics, preoperative echocardiogram data (ejection fraction [EF], presence of diastolic dysfunction, and presence of greater than mild valvular disease), access creation, and follow-up data. Maturation was defined as the ability to be successfully dialyzed via permanent access. Outcomes were compared with respect to ejection fraction, presence of diastolic dysfunction, and valvular disease.
Results: 45 patients were identified with a preoperative echocardiogram prior to access creation. 22 (47%) had an EF ≤50%, 31 (69%) had preoperative diastolic dysfunction, and 26 (58%) had preoperative valvular disease. Demographics and comorbidities were similar across all groups. Maturation rates were similar regardless of ejection fraction, presence of diastolic dysfunction, and presence of valvular disease. Primary patency at 6 months and 12 months was similar with respect to ejection fraction or the presence of valvular disease. Primary patency at 6 months and 12 months was 59% and 20% for those with diastolic dysfunction and 69% and 48% for those without diastolic dysfunction (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Technical maturation of hemodialysis access can be achieved equally in patients with or without underlying structural heart disease, but long-term patency remains poor. The presence of any grade diastolic dysfunction, in particular, appears to be associated with poor outcomes. Physicians performing arteriovenous access operations should consider the presence of diastolic dysfunction when assessing the feasibility of successful long-term access.

As punishment for his insider-trading crimes, Rajat Gupta's lawyers have proposed an interesting sanction for the former McKinsey & Co. chief: a trip to Rwanda.
Gupta will be sentenced for passing confidential corporate information to his friend, Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam, today. He faces up to a decade in prison, and while prosecutors are pushing for jailtime, Gupta's own lawyers have proposed probation and community service that could include work with the poor in Rwanda, or New York.
Gupta was convicted in June of passing tips to Rajaratnam. According to prosecutors, he acquired the information serving on the boards of directors of Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble.
Prosecutors pushing to send Gupta to prison noted that he was "at the pinnacle of a profession built on protecting client confidences," but "time and time again, over the span of nearly two years, Gupta flouted the law and abused his position of trust."
By contrast, Gupta's own lawyer wrote that he "has lived an exemplary life of uncommon accomplishment, compassion and generosity," and urged that he be allowed to continue to do so, working with needy children in New York or the poor in Rwanda.
Gupta is currently free on bail. He could seek to remain so even if he receives a prison sentence, pending appeal.

Abstract Resting metabolic rate is a common way of quantifying the cost of living in endothermic animals. The trait often makes up a substantial part of an animal's energy budget and can also be related to sustainable peak work rate as well as to daily energy expenditure. Studies have shown that metabolic rates are often heritable, but much of the variation seems to be caused by other factors (e.g., environmental and maternal effects). In a previous study, in ovo exposure to increased levels of testosterone induced metabolic costs early in life. It is, however, unknown whether in ovo androgens also have long-term effects on individual metabolic rates. In this study, we show that experimentally increased levels of in ovo testosterone in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) result in a 7% higher resting metabolic rate when they are adults. This shows that maternally transferred hormones can induce long-term effects on metabolic demands and potentially influence variation in life-history strategies among offspring. Variation in maternal hormone transfer may also explain some of the large interindividual variation observed in metabolic rates.

Will hydrogen become the maritime fuel of the future?
That’s a question posed by Catherine Barrios in her latest blog on ocean and air freight rate benchmarking platform Xeneta.
One of the few positives to come out of the Covid-19 pandemic has been its impact on the environment. Diminished energy use cleared the haze that typically characteriseshigh-density areas in the likes of India and China. Barrios quotes Blue Insight director Adrian Tolson who says that while ammonia, biofuels, hydrogen and methanol are being studied and trialled, none are currently commercially viable and LNG is likely to be the transition fuel until one of the others is developed.
With time, however, the next-gen fuel may well be hydrogen, Barrios writes. “Just last week the Oslo-based Hydrogen Council announced that NYK, CMA CGM, and the Port of Rotterdam were among the new members.
“NYK added that in the future the line would not only transport hydrogen but would also work to realise a hydrogen society, including the development of technology for utilising hydrogen as marine fuel.”
IMO has established a series of baselines for the amount of fuel each type of ship burns for a certain cargo capacity. Ships built in the future will have to beat that baseline by a set amount, which will get progressively tougher over time. By 2050, all new ships will be a massive 30% more energy efficient than those built in 2014.

'Harry Potter' Star Rupert Grint Treasures Small Movies
Rupert Grint enjoys the "pressure" of working on low-budget films after starring in the "Harry Potter" franchise - because every shot "means a lot more". The British actor made his name playing Ron Weasley in the blockbuster wizard movies, but has branched out with roles in smaller films, including "Driving Lessons" and "Cherrybomb".
Grint admits the independent movie experience is completely different to his Potter days - but he enjoys the intensity of the shoots. He tells Reuters, "I'm kind of just looking ahead now because Potter is coming to an end and it's just trying to keep going really."
"A much smaller budget sort of changes the whole kind of experience because every shot means a lot more. You don't have the benefit of having a hundred takes, you have to get it right quite a lot sooner. So yeah, I quite enjoy that pressure."

- READ MORE: Excited about Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’? Here’s your extended reading, watching and listening list
Played by Mike Moh, Lee’s portrayal in the movie recently came under fire from the iconic actor/marital artist’s daughter, who said that she didn’t like the way her father came across as “an arrogant asshole who was full of hot air,” because it was “not how he was.”
Now, it’s been revealed that a scene in Tarantino’s ninth movie, one that sees Bruce Lee go toe-to-toe with Brad Pitt’s character Cliff Booth on the set of the TV series The Green Hornet, was originally supposed to end a lot differently.
Although the fight between the two is interrupted before a victor can be declared, according to the movie’s co-stunt coordinator, Robert Alonzo, in the original screenplay Bruce Lee was supposed to lose to Cliff, a move that “concerned” both the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood crew and Pitt.
“I know that Brad had expressed his concerns, and we all had concerns about Bruce losing,” Alonzo told the Huffington Post. “Especially for me, as someone who has looked up to Bruce Lee as an icon, not only in the martial-arts realm, but in the way he approached philosophy and life, to see your idol be beaten is very disheartening.”
He added: “Everyone involved was like, ‘How is this going to go over?’ Brad was very much against it. He was like, ‘It’s Bruce Lee, man!'”

All meat specialists appreciate the value of nose-to-tail cooking.
You may know all about our dry aged steak or dry-aged meat, but did you know that the best believe in using all of an animal so that nothing is wasted?
This is why I am going to take you on a nose-to-tail tour of a pig in this article, so you can get the full picture regarding how this concept works.

The parts of the pig that are desirable for all are the neck, picnic shoulder, Boston shoulder, loin, side, and ham. Butchers that follow the nose-to-tail philosophy will also keep the head, ears, oink, tusks, skin, foot and tail. They do not believe in waste, instead, they work hard to sell all of the pig.
These butchers will price the cuts of meat accordingly to give themselves the best chance of selling all the pig. The high-on-the-hog cuts are the most expensive. This includes Boston butt, loin, tenderloin, and sirloin. Middle-of-the-hog cuts are cheaper, with examples including belly, picnic shoulder, ribs, sausage, ham, and ground. These are often made into tasty and high priced products, such as salami and prosciutto. Butchers will also provide you on ways to go about cooking ribs on the grill or cooking pork belly and other different cuts of meat.
Finally, you have the low-on-the-hog cuts, such as jowl, neck bones and hocks, and oddments, for instance, trotters, liver, tongue, back fat, heart, and skin. These are the cheapest and will be disregarded by those who care little about waste. Butchers will find these a lot more difficult to sell and customers will often request that they simply slaughter another pig. However, those who embrace nose-to-tail butchery recognise that if they were to do this it would be extremely wasteful. Not only would meat be unused, but also more freezer space would be taken up, which leads to increased energy use. Instead, these butchers focus on getting the economics right, i.e. they will increase the price of the high cuts whilst the low cuts will decrease in price until they are sold.
These pieces of meat are often underrated, as this food can be extremely tasty and flavoursome. Pig heart is very healthy and one of the leanest meats. It tastes delicious when stir-fried. The cheek of the pig is similar to bacon and thus works well smoked. You can use liver to make pâté, whilst cartilage is an excellent stock thickener. The options are endless and therefore these cuts of meat should not be disregarded.
From the snout to the tail, you truly can eat virtually all parts of a pig. When you next go to your butcher, this is definitely something that you should enquire about.
Thanks for all this information! I didn’t even know nose to tail was a thing, but it makes sense.
Oh my goodness, so many details i never knew about butchering. (And my husband owns a steak restaurant!)
I honestly didn’t know about any of the benefits of the pig heart. We eat pork, but in moderation. but given pig heart is lean, I may consider it the next time we cook a pork dish!
You’re right about these pieces of meat being underrated! I never knew there were so many ways to salvage every part of the pig. Definitely getting hungry after this post! – Sondra Barker @cuisineandtravel.com
Never knew you could cook an entire pig. This made me hungry.
This is so interesting. I don’t know much about butchery, but I find it fascinating that there is so many types of meat on one animal.
My husband is a butcher and he hates waste so likes to ensure all parts of the meat is used
I love meat and there are places I’ve been that they actually have different recipes with the use of every part of the pig.
Glad to learn there are so many ways to use different part of a a pig. I have not tasted all part yet.
Though I’ve never eaten the whole pig, I think it’s important for people to know that they can use the entire pig and note waste meat.
It is good to use as much as possible when cooking, so as not to be wasteful. It makes sense to try to use as many parts as you can for different cooking methods.
Fascinating stuff right here. I actually recently watched a video of a butcher cutting up a pig. Interesting to see where the cuts come from.
Although I don’t cook every part of the pig, I have heard that you can cook it and it does taste delicious. Reading your post reminded me of this.

Lawsuit Claims that Skittles are 'Unfit for Human Consumption' because of Titanium Dioxide
If you are looking for high-quality products, please feel free to contact us and send an inquiry, email: firstname.lastname@example.org
Us consumers have filed a lawsuit against Mars in a California court on last Thursday, claiming that Skittles contains too much titanium dioxide (E171).
Is titanium dioxide harmful to the body?
Titanium dioxide is an additive used in pigments, adhesives and plastics, which can cause changes in DNA in the human body. It can also cause damage to organs such as the brain, and damage the liver and kidneys.
In May 2021, the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) has updated its safety assessment of the food additive titanium dioxide (E171), considering E171 no longer safe when used as a food additive.
However, it was still legal in the United States. According to the FDA's federal regulations, "the colorant titanium dioxide is generally safe for food coloring." But the FDA limits titanium dioxide to no more than 1 percent by weight.
Years before EFSA's announcement, Mars shared plans to phase out titanium dioxide from its products. Although Mars' plan was announced in 2016, the company has yet to remove titanium dioxide from Skittles and other products.
What is Titanium Dioxide and What is Titanium Dioxide Used For?
Titanium dioxide is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula TiO2. It is a white solid or powdered amphoteric oxide. The molecular weight is 79.9. It is non-toxic, has the best opacity, the best whiteness and brightness, and is considered to be one of the best white pigments in the world.
It is widely used in paint, chemical fiber, cosmetics, paper, printing ink, plastic, rubber, food and other industries. It has a high melting point and is also used to make refractory glass, glaze, enamel, clay, high temperature resistant experimental utensils, etc.
Why add titanium dioxide to food?
Titanium dioxide is used in food pigments (E171). Like all food pigments, its technical function is to make food more visually attractive, color previously colorless food, or restore the original appearance of the food.
Why is titanium dioxide in Skittles?
Titanium dioxide is used to produce the rainbow-like hue of Skittles.
Which foods contain titanium dioxide?
Jelly, fried food, cocoa products, chocolate, chocolate products, hard candy, polished candy, gum-based candy, puffed food, candy chocolate products coating, mayonnaise, salad dressing, jam, solid drinks, konjac gel food, broth, sauces, salads and seasoning sandwiches may contain titanium dioxide.

I have a 1979 F-150 Ford Pickup truck with a 400 engine and automatic
tranny. Something got under my hood and tore up some vac hoses.
(Probably a raccoon). Replacing the hoses themselves is not the
problem. Knowing where they go is......
There is a TEE with 3 or 4 hoses directly behind the carburetor near
the firewall. One is plugged, one goes to the tranny via a metal
tube, the other one is completely missing so I have no clue what goes
there. I think I have the others figured out, but would like to know
for sure. Can anyone furnish a scan or link to a website with this
By the way, why wont the tranny shift into 3rd when that hose is off
for the (vacuum diaghram or whatever thats called). I had no 3rd gear
till I put that hose back on.

Defilers are arcane spellcasters who have learned to tap into the life forces of plant life around them, harnessing it to empower their magic but utterly destroying it in the process. Defilers leave trails of sterile soil and infertile ash in their wake. Not only is plant life destroyed, but the land is corrupted and fouled, often taking years or decades before it can once again support life.
Feat: Defiler MagicEdit
When casting spells, you defile the very land around you, draining the life force from plant life to power your spells.
Learning Defiler Magic: Defilers usually learn their craft from another defiler, though an evil spellcaster might unlock the secret on his own. Either way, a character must have taken the Defiler Magic feat to gain any of the benefits of Defiler Magic.
Limitations of Use: Defiler magic requires living plants. In a desolate or barren landscape, a defiler mage takes penalties to his spellcasting due to the lack of empowering life essences. In lush, heavily vegetated lands, he finds his powers are unmatched.
Table 1: Defiler Benefits and CostsEdit
|Defiler Benefits||Corruption Points|
|Increase caster level||+1|
|Silent Spell (as metamagic)||+1|
|Still Spell (as metamagic)||+1|
|Heighten Spell (as metamagic)||+1/caster level|
|Extend Spell (as metamagic)||+2|
|Maximize Spell (as metamagic)||+4|
|Quicken Spell (as metamagic)||+5|
|Recover spell||+3/spell level|
|Cast spell without paying XP||+1/200XP|
|Cast spell without expensive|
Using Defiler Magic: When a defiler casts a spell, he taps into the life energy of Planet. Defilers are reliant on absorbing the life energy around them, granting a rush of arcane power as the essences are consumed at the time of casting. Casting a defiling spell is an inherently evil act. Defiling gains penalties and benefits based on the terrain around them, according to Table 1: Defiler Benefits and Costs. Using defiling magic always gives at least 1 point of corruption, even if no benefits are received. A caster may choose to attain greater benefits in return for more points of corruption; however, a caster may only choose to receive a number of corruption points equal to 1/2 his caster level. Additionally, the amount of vegetation in the surrounding terrain has an effect on a defiler's casting, as shown in Table 2: Terrain Modifiers. A defiler may choose not to defile an area (and receive no corruption points) but takes penalties as if he were in a desolate landscape.
When casting a spell, the defiler gains either 1 corruption point plus a number of corruption points depending on the type of special effect he is trying to use. For example, a defiler using the Silent Spell metamagic benefit will gain 2 corruption points, one for defiling plus another one for the Silent Spell effect.
Casters who prepare their spells do not need to choose which spells to apply defiling to when preparing spells, and spontaneous casters do not increase their casting time to a full round action, even when defiling to mimic a metamagic effect.
Increase caster level' - You may extend the casting time of any spell by one step (a swift action becomes move, move to standard, and standard to full round) to gain a +1 bonus to caster level and increase the range of his defiling radius by 5ft.
Metamagic effects - Benefits which mimic metamagic feats do not modify the level of the spell when cast. Only the metamagic effects listed on the table may be added with defiling, and you need not know the metamagic feat in order to apply it to a spell.
Recover spell - You spend a full round action to recover a previously cast spell. You must make a Concentration check with a DC equal to 20 + 2 x spell level. If you succeed, you recover a spell you have prepared and cast earlier in the day or an expended spell slot. If you fail the Concentration check, you still receive corruption points and defile the area. This effect may only be used in Fertile or better terrain. You can only do this a number of times per day equal to 1/2 your class levels.
Table 2: Terrain ModifiersEdit
|Terrain Type||Examples||Save DC and Caster Level Mod|
|Desolate (or choosing not to defile)||Blackwater seas, salt flats, recently defiled area||-2|
|Barren||Bare mountains, rocky plains, sandy deserts, defiled area after 6 months||-1|
|Infertile||City, rocky badlands, scrubland||0|
|Fertile||Verdant plains, oases, savanna, swamp||+1|
|Abundant||Forest, jungle, ocean, gardens||+2|
Cast spell without paying XP - You expend life energy surrounding you rather than your own. You may gain corruption points instead of expending XP on a spell at a rate of 1 point per 200XP, rounded up. You do not have to completely eliminate the XP cost through defiler points. If the spell has a cost of 500XP, you may choose to expend 300XP and take 1 defiler point.
Cast spell without expensive material component - You replace the material component with raw life energy. You may gain corruption points instead of material components on a spell at a rate of 1 point per 500gp, rounded up. You may split the cost between cheaper material components and corruption points as you can with XP costs.
Trail of Destruction: When defiling, a caster leaves behind a barren circle of ash. The radius of the circle if 5ft. per spell level. 0-level spells defile only the 5ft. square in which the defiler is standing. All creatures, even allies, caught within the defiling radius other than the caster suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls, skill checks, and saves for one round. Creatures with the plant descriptor also suffer 2 points of damage per spell level, with 0-level spells inflicting 1 point of damage.
Living, non-sentient plant life within the defiling radius is consumed by the spell, burning instantly into a fine, white ash. Nothing will grow within the radius of a defiling spell for a full year without the aid of restorative magics. The ash itself is inert and is often scattered by the wind; however, the land underneath remains a barren scar.
Table 3: Corruption PenaltiesEdit
|1-10||You suffer a -2 penalty to Wis and Cha checks and related skill checks.|
|21-30||You suffer an additional -2 penalty to Wis and Cha checks and related skill checks.|
|31-40||You suffer an additional -2 penalty to Constitution. Your alignment changes to Evil if it is not already.|
|41+||Your body transforms into ash, and you become an Ashling, immediately losing levels in your arcane caster class to pay off the level adjustment. Your corruption points reset to zero. At the DM's discretion, your character might become an NPC.|
Road to Corruption: Your assualt on the planet's life energy is reflected in your own body. Too much defiling will weaken your own life energy and willpower. The more corruption points you have, the more twisted your body and outlook on life becomes, resulting in penalties to Wisdom and Charisma as well as several physical penalties. See Table 3: Corruption Penalties. All effects are cumulative, so if you have 34 corruption points, you receive a -4 penalty to Wis and Cha checks and skill checks, a -2 penalty to Con, and become fatigued after more than 1 minute of strenuous activity.
It is possible to remove corruption points through meditation in undefiled areas. You may remove one corruption point from your total with a successful Concentration check with a DC equal to your current number of corruption points. The amount of time you need to meditate varies based on the terrain in which you meditate. You must meditate for 1 hour in an Abundant environment, 2 hours in a Fertile environment, 4 hours in an Infertile environment, or 12 hours in a Barren environment. You may not remove corruption points through meditation in a Desolate environment or a Barren environment that is Barren due to defiling.
