Soul Gems and Necromancy


Rules Discussion


Not sure if this should fall under the umbrella of Homebrew, but I feel like if there wasn't one already having some kind of interaction with Necromancy, especially the act of Raising Undead with the new Ritual system, should get benefits from utilizing a Soul Gem, especially if the Gem in question houses the soul of the creature whose body you're raising.

I also have noted that in their entry any given soul no longer has pre-existing listed prices like in PF1, is there a system by which that we should estimate these prices or should we just figure one up ourselves? My initial assumption, barring any insight in the book itself, is that selling a Gem containing the soul of a creature of Rating X could yield you an item of Value Y, most likely a consumable of equivalent worth or, alternatively, a Permanent Item rated lower than the Creature's Rating by some amount, which would, in my opinion, put it in line with things like Calling, Binding, and Raising creatures which have rules like "pay the Outsider with a magical item of this level of value in exchange for its services".
