Don't tell the players, but in my Burning Wheel Ravenloft game, if you get vampire-bit you can end up having skill and stat levels permanently drained.
Five wights in tonight's dungeon. Totally optional encounter. But will the PC's open those coffins for the sweet loot that must be inside? Those bone golems must have been guarding something awesome right?
Just don't make the same mistake with them I did. I had a necromancer PC back in the heady days of 2E and inspired by Doctor Strange, I decided I wanted a faithful manservant for my sorcerer. But because I was also competitive I wanted two manservants.
Creating the wights wasn't a problem. Controlling them was. Very shortly thereafter, my necromancer was drained by his undead major domos, left powerless and then eaten by carrion crawlers.
Which just goes to show you: Two wights don't make a wong.
I'll snag this later. The first one was a lot of fun. Originally shared by Android Central Publisher Paradox Interactive has released Knights of Pen & Paper 2 for Android. Fans of table-top RPGs can once again get the full experience on a mobile device. We got a chance to play an early version of this game in March at GDC 2015, and now Knights of Pen & Paper 2 is available for… #android http://www.androidcentral.com/knights-pen-paper-2-brings-role-playing-and-satire-together-android
Okay, Hotline Miami , killing a dude by dumping a pot full of boiling water on his face? Awesome. I still suck at this game though. I'm not twitchy enough.
Vampires used to have level drain too.

As a level-draining undead monstrosity (albeit with a lemony icon), I approve this message.

Curt Thompson I'm docking you 1,000 XP for that.
ReplyDeleteIt was totally worth it. :D
ReplyDeleteDid you notice that XP makes the same face you make when you hear a bad pun?
ReplyDeleteXP
Sorry, there's no such thing as a bad pun.
ReplyDeleteI'll dock you too, Alex Hakobian. You watch your ass.
