Shabti and the afterlife


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


So shabti, introduced in Pyramid of the Sky Pharaoh, are essentially facsimiles of people created to live out the punishments or rewards they were destined for. But what happens when they die?

It seems a bit weird that they would get their own afterlife after being custom-made for someone else's, and Shattered Soul seems to imply bad stuff happens after death, but is there anything concrete?

It's not concrete, but I'd guess based on their being Outsiders and the Shattered Soul ability that their essence would probably break apart and start dissolving into an alignment-associated or deity-associated plane for them. It would basically skip past the 'petitioner' step of the soul cycle (since it got built so that it started there) and jump directly to the 'planar quintessence' step. The period where resurrection spells have a chance of working without divine intervention would be the period where it was still in the conversion process before it got fully merged with the plane.


So they'd be kind of like karmic-cosmic whipping-boys/scapegoats? ;)
