Heresy of Man part 2, Night Plague questions


GM Discussion

Dark Archive 1/5

How have all of you other GM's who have run this mod handled the plague? Do you roll for everyone you hit, no matter the race? Or do you just target the humans and half-elves?

Plague Info:
If Verdizaam touches any PC with his plague’s caress ability, there is a 25% chance that PC carries the target bloodline and becomes infected.
A PC who does not carry the Jistkan bloodline is immune from Night Plague.
If that PC hails from Rahadoum, they are automatically infected.

The Exchange 4/5

Roll per character. Jistkan doesn't necessarily mean they were human. You could have someone in your ancestry from there. And Jistkans weren't just humans, they were folks from every race.

I ran a halfling Qadiran barbarian who landed in that 25%, and was inflicted - therefore, there's some Rahadoum in him. I'm mentally playing it as his slave heritage - family deep in his past being enslaved by Rahadoum and eventually traded across the Obari Ocean to Qadira. I'd make anyone make the roll - just because Rahadoum is primarily human doesn't mean that there can't be some interesting quirks that could happen to characters that aren't human.

Ok. That's about how I was planning to run it... just wanted to make sure ;)

5/5

The way I run it is to have all the PCs roll percentile dice before the adventure starts. Anyone who gets 1-25% gets a mark on their initiative card. If that PC is later hit by Mr. V, I'll ask for fort saves. I haven't yet had a PC put 2 & 2 together before the adventure was over.
