Souljar the character into construct armor. It has its own stats and such so it should work for playability, does souljar work on constructs? Construct armor? Can't find anything on that. Are you saying just souljar the character into a construct and call it that?
As the title says. Think full metal alchemist. A characters body replaced by a suit of armor. I realize I could just take a character and say they no longer need to breathe, eat, sleep, etc and that they have a permanent suit of armor and call it good... But is there a raw way to do it?
Maybe you could come up with a system where each spell has a % chance to fail and if it does fail the character is permanently dead? So yeah someone could try to resurrect you but there's a chance it won't work and if it doesn't you're toast. There could be a bonus based on the character's con bonus or maybe even character level that modifies the rol to determine success. And every time they were successfully resurrected, the chance to fail next time becomes greater, so it's a gamble.
How about this? Surprised I didn't already know about this. Very, very cool. Thanks for the option.
Burn is an absolutely terrible mechanic but if you gave it to all casters it may be interesting. Just make it so casters take damage as they cast, depending on the spell level.. Or take the Dark Heresy route and make it so casting a spell and rolling say doubles or something triggers unintended consequences, like, raining blood, or an angry Balor just appearing. Can you link to any examples of Burn?
Can anyone point me to a (mostly?) compatible magic system/subsystem with a slightly darker flavor? I'm looking for something where arcane spells take a toll on the Spellcaster, or the player has the option to make some sort of sacrifice to cast stronger spells. Also interested in being able to reduce other caster's spell casting for the day. Think spells/abilities that drain spell levels from the target, etc. Open to 3rd party material as well as any existing 3.5/pathfinder spells, feats, classes, etc. Thanks! |
