Southwestern Perimeter of Hamsah Mu'tazz
Small thistle bushes and prickly shrubs sprout up here and there through the
rocky, sandy soil just south of the city of Hamsah Mu'tazz. To the north,
beyond a low stone wall topped with a crown of tall spears, the tops of
trees obscure your view of the clay and wood buildings beyond. To the south
the land gives way to rolling sand dunes and an arid wasteland. A clear
path leads around the outskirts of the city.


A devilish imp flutters around on leathery wings.

The gods protect a devilish imp.

The imp familiar's curse is meant to work regardless of PK range. However, I've taken another look at it and made it a little less good on out-of-range enemies.

FYI, you'll also encounter a handful of other indirectly dangerous things that can happen from out of range. I can think of several cabal powers as examples, faerie fog and its variants, and more subtle cases like pumping heals or beneficial spells into the person you're fighting. Probably, you should think of out of range as more like 'this person can't directly stomp me' than 'this person can do nothing that might cause me harm.'
