Making Lokansir cooler in # 4


Rise of the Runelords


I was disappointed that his tattoos were just 'for show' with such a cool picture, and so I'm changing him so that his various tattoos are each of the sin-based Sihedron characteristics. As such, as a free action, they will sometimes flare up, casting an associated spell. I'm having our party cleric, also covered in Shoanti tattoos, learn that hers do the same, but with associated virtues.

For instance:
Sloth-Slow
Gluttony-Vampiric touch or some other drain spell
Pride-Enlarge person or mirror image
Wrath-take your pick of a damage spell
Envy-Some kind of polymorph
Lust-?
Greed-?

Then again, maybe this is all b/c I love tattoos, and wanted to play up their prominence/integrate them into the virtue/vice theme in ROTRL


Greed is the transmuation school, so shouldn't greed get polymorph instead of envy?

Envy is Abjuration, sooo, maybe shield or something.

Enlarge is a transmutation, so it shouldn't show up under pride, which is illusion and has transmutation prohibited.

Slow is also transmuation. Sloth is conjuration, so he could pop out a a summoned monster or D-door.

Lust is enchantment, so maybe a suggestion or charm, or even sleep.

Heroism, target self, if you want to be cruel...

Silly! You're supposed to bring your books to work. Or you can take all of the PDFs and put them on a flash drive.

If you're gonna goof off at work and post, you might as well do it right and bring all the necessary resources.

With the PDFs and the online SRD, you've got all you need to be a busybody and answer questions on the boards when you're supposed to be working.

ROFL if you only knew how true your words were :)

Why are you watching over my shoulder at my job Mike F?

I think it's your imagination.

Meh. I doubt any of my direct reports even know what a Warforged is. There's a Trekkie in Accounting, but that's about it. The guy in IS with the star of chaos on his denim jacket left the company years ago.


Alright, here is my almost done system for sin/virtue magic. Basically, we have runes for the 7 sins, and those can be tattooed onto you like the sihedron. Once done, based on your arcane or divine spellcasting preference and level, you can learn to 'activate' a tattoo as a free action to cast a spell associated with it once per day. After this happens the tattoo fades to obscurity for 24 hours. I know I didn't strictly stick with the spells/schools outline described in PF # 1, but I went for flavor more than anything. I'm still missing a few, so your suggestions would be appreciated...this box doesn't handle tables well, so i'm truncating when needed.

Virtue Divine /// Arcane
Wealth Diamond spray (4)/// ???
Fertility Insight of good fortune (2)/// Maj/super resist(2/5)
Honest pride Sunmantle (4) /// Eagle's splendor (2)
Abundance Estanna's stew (2) /// ???
Eager striving ??? /// Heroism (3)
Righteous anger Flame of faith (3) /// Warcry (3)
Rest Refreshment (3) /// Whelm, mass (4)

Sin
Greed ??? /// Entice gift (2)
Lust ??? /// Fangs of the vampire king (2)
Pride Hesitate (3), rejection (6)/// Hesitate (3) steal life (8)
Gluttony ??? ///Slow consumption (2), steal likeness (6)
Envy Divine retaliation (3) //// Luminous assassin (3,5,7)
Wrath Black karma curse (2) /// Friend to foe (5) stop heart (5)
Sloth Freeze armor (4), hibernate(5)/// Armor lock (1) call of stone (4)

Blood of the martyr (4) and afflication (4) seem good, but not sure where to fit them exactly...


Added a few more

Eager striving virtue, divine-Divine power (4), Conviction, mass (3)
Abundance virtue, divine-panacea (4)
Rest virtue, divine-Healthful rest (1)

Greed sin divine-favorable sacrifice (3)
Lust sin, divine-Infernal wound (2) (S&M style lust)
Gluttony sin, divine-consumptive field (4)
Wrath sin-Slay living (5), deific vengeance (2)


I thought this was a cool idea, but apparently noone else did :(


Who's Lokansir again?


The tatted up hill giant in # 4...I'm making the rune tattoos actually have in game functionality, by casting sin-consistent (or virtue, for my tatted up PC) spells...
