Fitz Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Here's the situation: One of the characters in my campaign has killed a druid (an old-school druid, not one of these namby-pamby tree-huggers). In doing so, she activated his death curse, with the effect that she can no longer heal any wounds she receives as long as she's in the land of Erin. Also, any bruises or scratches, post-nasal drip, hangnails and toothaches will just hang around forever, gradually making her into a walking bundle of misery until eventually she dies. She can be healed magically, but it has only a short-term effect; by the next day all her old wounds will have opened and started seeping again. I'm thinking that it could be reflected pretty simply by a Suppress on her REC (only vs. BODY) and a very slow BODY Drain to reflect the gradual accumulation of minor injuries one inevitably suffers day to day. The only tricky bit is the undoing of any magical healing she gets. How would you build it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only tricky bit is the undoing of any magical healing she gets. How would you build it? First thought is a supress to healing also, only with a time delay. Otherwise a Suceptability to magic healing, again with a time delay (takes 1 Body for each 1 Body healed by magic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keneton Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Already Discussed Good topics tend to occur again and again. Vist this thread and read my response. In order to undertnad my mechanics its good to know Steve's new ruling on resetting triggers from a Heroglyph's article. Hope this helps. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6510&highlight=curse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
