hoping i can get in on this and my idea isnt considered stupid.
this book isnt well written *sloppy do to lack of light* but it does detail certain aspects of an otyugh and could give the PC's a small amount to damage or the like. it just entered my mind. ![]()
ok here's what i've come up with/been given by other's, or taken from alternate racial abilities. 1. wake up looking like one of the other characters. 1d4-1 Paladin being the fourth character. 2. wake up and has to speak backwards and write backwards. 3. the character emits a horrible smell. He suffers a –4 penalty on Diplomacy and Stealth checks. and cannot smell himself. *no smell for the day* 4. The character is immune to fear for the next 24 hours. 5. 3 times per day, you can exhibit a burst of speed, moving as if your base land speed were 50 feet for 1 round. 6. you know exactly what time it is. regardless of whether your underground or above it. 7. hulk like strength for when he turns Banner Green. 8. one color makes it so he has rapid healing for every hour meditating. 9. one could make him become one size larger. 10. one could make him become one size smaller. 11. one day Paladin can see perfectly in the dark, but can only see up to 20ft. in daylight. in a cone effect. 12. You are invisible to all unintelligent undead. *zombies, and skeletons and the like* 13. You can speak to all birds. 14. you can speak to bugs. 15. You can drink and gain nourishment from ash, cinders, dust, and sand. 16. you can hold your breath for unlimited time. 17. wake up the opposite sex. *may have to hamper this one* 18. you can manifest or dismiss a halo around your head that sheds colored light as a torch. 19. Speak like yoda you do. 20. can glide on water. *as if it were ice*. 21. Gets drunk on water but not on alcohol. 22. you can speak and understand any language 23. Any thing you touch becomes Spotlessly clean. 24. your singing voice is superb on this day. cannot be used against enemies. 25. if you walk over a grave you immediatly know who that person was. 26. you can hear up to 200ft. perfectly, but you talk like an ogre. 27. You gain sustenance from sunlight. Being in direct sunlight for half an hour nourishes you as though you had just eaten a hearty meal. You still need to drink water. 28. You can sense when a creature is pregnant by standing within 10 feet of the creature. 29. You can speak to horses and other equine animals. 30. your mood's creates melodies. whatever mood you have that will create a melody that eminates from your body. 31. you walk 2 feet off the ground at all times. 32. No matter how hot it gets you do not need water for this day. 33. You can communicate telepathically with any sentient creature with which you are in contact up to 60ft. * you cannot receive others thoughts, and this is constant* 34. Everything you touch with your bare hands leaves a web behind. web (DC 12, hp 2). 35. you may see through any substance less than 1 feet thick *except for lead* as if it were glass. 36. when you break wind, you emit a cloud. that hovers in place for 30 seconds. the clouds color determines how bad it is. roll a 1d4, 1.)green is weak, 2.)yellow is strong, 3.)orange is putrid, 4.)red is nauseating. 37. any woman you meet must make a (DC 8) or else become smitten with you. 38. if you answer something that isnt a completely honest answer you become an animal for 1 hour. lying purposefully to set off the curse does not work. 39. you are completely immuned to mine altering effects. ps if these are unbalanced i'm sorry i was rushing when writing these. *also i had been working all day so i was tired* ![]()

right. i'll make him one day wake up covered in fur. i kinda want something thats useless but can be used to humorous effect. its like giving him a pair of cursed shoes that make him dance constantly. this guy would be like "alright i'm going out into the middle of town and dance for money." my curve ball did nothing but inspire him. also he's an old paladin. so some of the things wont work. *i found one that changes alignment, and if i were able to he'd play it. and well* ![]()

The concept comes from this book. http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Lee-Martinez/dp/0316049913one of the main characters in this story is Monster, who i cursed *its explained in the book* and every day he wakes up his skin is a different color. i.e. he wakes up gold colored and every time he blinks he disappears and then reappears when his eyes are fully open. one day he wakes up *i think green* and he cannot smell anything. silly things like this are what i'm looking for. ![]()

yes, yes, yes. this is exactly what i'm looking for. *only in mass quantity* i'll probably use several of these. and i do have one where he cannot see well in Daylight but in pure darkness he has perfect vision. thanks for the idea's and i do hope many others will contribute strange things they think up as well. *i just need to come up with the color to represent what equals what. ![]()

Perhaps you can borrow from those. thanks for the direction, some of those are not bad, and i will do that. though i'd like some goofy ones as well. like for a whole day he can communicate with bugs. not a lot of practical use but still silly yet enjoyable. ![]()
ok i dont know if someone already posted something similar but i'm looking to add a bit of flavor or Color to my game. i'm going to be taking over dming here shortly, i wanted to do something different then the current dm, and one of the other player's and i were talking about his character. i'd like to set it up so that when i look at him i say "Roll a 100 die." then i match the number to a color and that's the color of his skin tone, ala A. Lee Martinez's book Monster. i've come up with only a handful of idea's for this but i'm going to need help with it. hopefully i can get some really good idea's and then throw them at him. Ps. the pc in question is ok with this idea and will probably role play it to the hilt. he threw out there the rainbow effect in which his character acts very feminine. *he's a 60 paladin* ps some can be good and some can be not so good. one i like is one day he has no ability to smell. or he can walk through thin walls of like stone, wood, paper. stuff like that. be creative. and if someone did already do something similar to this idea please point me in that direction. |
