Having adopted delvesdeep's alternate Cagewrights in my game, I'm constantly thinking of things to tweak for my current playthrough. One thing that jumped out at me was his description of Alurad in his foreshadowing, that he wears a necklace of human hearts.
I thought to myself 'why not use that to make Alurad even more dangerous'? Meerthan mentions that Alurad had killed his mentor in their last battle before being slain himself. However, by the AP he is back to life ready to go. Before I figured that his allies just sprang for his rez.
Then I thought 'what if his necklace was a contingency to bring him back to life'?
So the purpose of this thread is to brainstorm the exact effects of a horrible item that uses human sacrifice as fuel for contingency magic.
Tentative item title is 'the Chain of Hearts', but please feel free to suggest others. I figure possible effects could be things like Heal, Word of Recall on the body, Raise or Resurrection effects, Restoration to remove negative levels, and Mindblank or Nondetection to prevent following.
Thoughts?
