- The cult of Jing is a fractured group of missionaries that claim to visit the temple regularly and keep the legend of Jing alive. The cult has no real doctrine or hierarchy and followers seem to try and live life as Jing would, carefree and mischievous, a life of trickery. The only thing they seem to have in common is reciting the Canticle of Jing.

Jing is the God of the prank
And Jing is the go of the trick
Jing is the one that can walk through walls
That are forty inches thick

Jing is the god of the coin
And Jing is god of the gold
Jing is what serfs work for each day
But landowners always hold

Jing is the god of good fortune
And Jing is the god of good luck
Jing can make lords of common men
And raise them from the muck

Jing will take coins from beggars and
Jing will take jewels from lords
Jing is he reason that kings have vaults
And that dragons guard their hoards

Jing is the reason for locks
And Jing is the reason for doors
Jing is the reason for deathtraps
On the ceilings, walls, and floors

Jing is the god of dungeon
And Jing is the god of the maze
Jing is the god of the labyrinth
Where everybody stays

Jing is the god of the beggar
And Jing is the god of the bum
Jing is the god of the urchin, scamp
And under-gutter scum

Jing is a rag-picker black
And Jing is a rag-picker bold
Jing will take rings from a dead man’s hand
Before he is even cold

Jing is the mountebank skilled
And Jing is a charlatan brave
Jing is a scoundrel, cheat and crook
And unrepentant knave

– The campaign has a mechanism included called Jing’s Favor, this works very similar to Pathfinder Hero Points so it is my plan to incorporate the two. In addition to the normal way you gain Hero Points, this campaign grants them for the following reasons.
• Tithe to Jing
• Embrace the true spirit of the temple (Take Risks)
• Avoid defacing, sacking, or dishonoring shrines and statues to Jing
• Show Piety to Jing (Indulge in his games and Riddles)

You can lose Jing’s favor for doing the opposite of these things.

: In addition to the normal things you can do with Hero Points the campaign allows these additional things you can do with them.
• Blessing to use the Great Central Elevator –Allows movement to next level of temple
• Blessing to use the Grande Jing Highway- Allows access to move back and forth through temple
• Blessing to Come and Go- Allows the players to leave on NON-JING days when the temple is otherwise close.
• Boon of the Keyed Jing Enchanted Item- One time use after Rite of Initiation for a magical item that grows in power as the player does.
• Boon of Keyed Jing Block- Become Keyed to a Jing Block so that it is not out of phase to you.

- The Grande Temple of Jing also has many Arenas within it, and I intend to use them as this is also fitting with the flavor of Jalmeray. To that purpose I will use Performance Combat from the Advanced Player’s Guide.
No Guns- Jing doesn’t like them
Jing Days- Jing days are roughly 1 day to every 6 normal calendar months. So there are only 7 days in a “Jing” month. Every Jing day a bell will sound in the temple and all traps reset, some monsters reconstitute, and most importantly any door you have earned access too reopens including the front entrance allowing you to leave the temple.
Jing Blocks- Unique to his dungeon are Jing Blocks, a kind of strange block that can block anything and everything and can allow only certain keyed people from perceiving and passing through them and other unique properties to be discovered.
DFM- Die of Fortune/Misfortune is a d5 used for specific triggers in the dungeon. Will be rolled as 1d6-1 to give a value of 0-5, 0s are bad or really good, but then so are 5s, the trickster god is tricky.
