Cliched but well done. Are the undead slaves or shambling headless bodies or what? Also a great lord or evil sorceror who was killed might rise as a wight or even a litch. Go to Comment
What happens to the ghosts once released is debatable. They may be bound to the point of death, or they may decend to their preordained fates. Atheists probably will simply dissappear into the void.
In truth, he does not judge. The rightious should have no fear of death - they will go to abetter place. Those who are not, get what they deserve.
His motto could be 'Kill them all, let the Gods sort them out...'
Since there is still a small spark of humanity, someone totally innocent _may_ be spared his tender mercy. Go to Comment
It is a very potent item, allowing to travel anywhere. Planes... well, if it has to be. It is good that it is a unique item, and the threat of misinterpreting the directions also helps.
Not my cup of tea, but it may work for high-magic campaigns. Go to Comment
Particularly I liked how Saarmach lost the Switch, trusting in magic versus magic and forgetting mundane dangers. Otherwise, this is an okay high magic item. Go to Comment
Personally, I have a thing for high-magic campaigns :). In the campaign where this came from, it was used by Blackthar as an NPC, and only occasionally. He did not, for good reason, trust it very much. Go to Comment
That could be quite a potent item. I could see the Artificer secretly manipulating the switch's destinations in order to control its owner's travels. Perhaps we could hear more about this mysterious creature? Go to Comment
I have to second Muro's thoughts. Play around a bit with formatting and spelling, this is an pretty weird idea that just screams to be used. Btw, how long does it take for it to travel to the next village?
And: both options are good, whether a divine creature or freak mutation. It is likely the Hanaset will never know. Go to Comment
Magical research can be different than collecting strange ingredients. Heroes are sent on a delicate mission: go find a female turtle of a similar type, dope it with a large dose of the enlarging potion, and then let it mate with the mighty Lutazum, getting the eggs as a reward.
What a simple plan, and what many problems it can hide - from the simple question, how a turtle's gender can be ascertained, through the numerous 'issues' or a terrible jungle (not counting natives), up to finding out that Lutazum is not interested (or is actually a female itself... but how could you know?), and more.
The PCs may be the protagonists of the story, or just come upon them and have fun. Go to Comment
Nifty. I like the idea that all of the neighboring tribes deciding to use this as a mail service. And giant turtles are always great. You said that it was a gift of the tribal gods. Is it really a divine creature, or some freak mutation that the local tribes just assumed was a gift from the gods? Go to Comment
