Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
really the better question is what method do you use to desecrate it
ReplyDeleteAgreed. What did you think was gonna happen?
ReplyDeleteThere's no option for 'use altar to set up lemonade stand'. Everybody knows that dungeon dwellers love their vitamin C when they can get it.
ReplyDeleteEat egg.
ReplyDeletepretty sure those both fall under desecration
ReplyDeleteDrink lemonade
ReplyDeletePlace chicken on altar. See evil computer get stuck in loop about which came first.
ReplyDeleteThe thing you don’t do is bang the drum, light the incense and recite the proper verse.

ReplyDeleteIf you desecrated the altar, make a save vs. Death as the egg opens and the VOID YOLK OF COSMIC OBLIVION envelops you.
ReplyDeleteIf you fled, make an intelligence check to find your way out of the LABYRINTH OF THE VOID OOSPORE.
ReplyDeleteIf you begged for forgiveness, the VOID OOSPORE has mercy since proper humility was shown. You will be the final being engulfed when the VOID hatches.
ReplyDeletedamn it
ReplyDeleteDoes a 6 succeed on that death save?
