Campaign Classic: Mythic Egypt

[Susano]

EGYPTIAN TEMPLATES

 

This section lists several cultural, professional, and racial Templates GMs might find useful in an Ancient Egypt-themed Fantasy Hero campaign. Many of these Templates can be used in conjunction with the various Templates offered in Fantasy Hero.

 

DETECT TRUE NAMES

 

In order to cast an spell that affects the target’s mind, you need to know the True Name of the target. This spell allows the caster to pull the True Name from the target’s mind. The caster must get EGO+40 in order to hear the True Name (which means a total of 48 on the dice for any normal human, and a total of 50 for any starting hero.) Experienced and more powerful magicians will buy more than 12d6 of Telepathy, GM’s should allow for upwards of 14 to 18d6.

 

As this spell is a must for most magicians and priests, it’s presented separately from all other spell lists. In addition, True Names only exist for those beings who have a language. Thus, humans and gods have True Names, plants and animals do not.

 

9	Telepathy 12d6 (Human class of minds); Mandatory Effect (Must 
Always Achieve EGO+40; -1), Only To Detect Target's True Name (-1), 
Extra Time (Full Phase, -½), Concentration (0 DCV; -½), Gestures, 
(throughout casting: -½), Incantations (throughout casting; -½), 
Requires A Magic Skill Roll ( -½), Receive Only (-½), Spell (-½), 
Normal Range (-¼), END 6

 

DJINN

 

Egyptian djinn (pronounced “jin”) are desert-dwelling elf-like beings. In fact, the name is a bit off, as ‘true’ djinn are actually from Arabic and Islamic folklore, myth, and teachings. However, they’re included in Mythic Egypt, so I am presenting them here. A male djinn is a djinni, a female is a djinna. They live all across northern Africa and the Middle East.

 

Djinn are immortal beings of smoke and fire, and are thus immune to the effects of heat, cold, thirst, and hunger. They are all beautiful (the +1 Striking Appearance is just for starters) with hair colors unlike that of any human. Djinn come in five tribes: Blue, Green, Red, Violet (or “Purple,” “Royal,” or “Black,”), and Yellow (or “Golden.”) A djinn’s hair and eye color matches his tribe, although their skins are the typical light-brown of Egyptian desert-dwellers.

 

According to Mythic Egypt, all djinn have the same True Name, and this name is well known among magicians. This makes them rathe vulnerable to certain forms of magic, as many Egyptian spells require the True Name of the target. In none-Egyptian games you could make this a Vulnerability to certain Mental Powers.

 

Most djinn live as desert nomads, but come into human towns to trade. In non-Egyptian Fantasy Hero settings, djinn could be a form of elf, or could be a nature of spirit of some sort. Djinn can interbreed with humans, the offspring will either be human or djinn. The human child of a djinn parent will have at least one level of Life Support: Longevity as well as an 8- Power Skill with magic. In more traditional Fantasy Hero settings, half-djinn may be possible. If so, simply give the half-djinn reduced version of the powers listed in the Racial Template.

SPHINX

 

Sphinxes are a race of shape-shifting were-lions, and only one of a number of similar shape-shifters found in the desert. They have three forms (possibly more), one of which is their normal human form, the other is the form of a lion, and the third, which can be any combination of the two. Thus, a sphinx can look like a human, a great cat, a human-headed lion, a lion-headed human, or a lion-bodied centaur. The sphinx retains all of its intelligence and skills regardless of form, but can only speak if it has a human mouth. A sphinx can only change once every 12 hours. However, if GMs wish to link the sphinx more to the gods Bast and Ra, then a sphinx can only change forms at sunup or sundown, regardless of when the last change in forms occurred.

 

Sphinxes live in lion-like prides, with a single male, several wives, and their children. Single males either roam off by themselves (a good excuse for a sphinx PC) or form bands of brothers and/or cousins (an excellent way for the GM to create a bandit camp.) Sphinxes can also interbreed with humans and lions (provided they are in the right form,) but the offspring will be either fully human, lion, or sphinx. However, in certain Fantasy Hero settings an individual with sphinx parentage could either assume a single alternate form (such as a lion or humanoid-lion) or have special affinity for felines.

 

In human form, a sphinx is tall, well-muscled, with blond or sandy-brown hair and yellow eyes. The males all have beards and most sphinx tribes wear little to no clothing and carry little in the way of gear. As they have no need or use for money, the sphinx place great value on promises, oaths, and services given and received. They also are curious about new things, enjoy riddles, and respect honesty and hunting prowess.

WERE-CAT

 

The race of were-cats stand no more than three feet in height, about half the size of a normal human. They are slender, brown-skinned, with greenish or yellow eyes, and brindled (i.e. spotted) hair the color of a cat’s coat. As their name implies, they can assume the form of a large (20-25 pound) cat, usually with tiger-stripes or a marmalade pattern to their fur. This transformation can only be done one very 12 hours (or at sunrise and sunset.) Unlike sphinxes, were-cats are not inter-fertile with cats or humans.

 

Were-cats in the wild live in small communities of burrows on the edges of deserts. Some live with humans, acting as a family pet by day and as a helpful house spirit by night. In more populous areas, or those with many magicians, the were-cats will live openly. Were-cats that live with priestess of Bast or with magicians tend to do so openly.

 

As a rule, were-cats are openly candid, even tactless when dealing with others, and can be quite evasive and secretive when they wish. However, if forced to answer a question, they usually speak the truth and can be quite loyal to friends and loved ones.

EGYPTIAN MAGIC USER

 

Magicians are very commonplace in ancient Egypt. Every neighborhood has at least one, and people call upon them as if they would a doctor or plumber. The typical magician is called up on to remove bad luck and minor curses, find lost items, maintain a person’s good luck, craft love potions, and deal with minor injuries and illnesses. More advanced magicians may tell fortunes and the future, act as full-blown physicians, craft wondrous objects, and even command various djinn (or the elements themselves.)

 

Egyptian magicians may be organized into brotherhoods, guilds, professional associations, and the like. Said groups may require dues, have initiation ceremonies, standard for membership, and so on.

EGYPTIAN PRIEST

 

An Egyptian priest act as a conduit to the divine. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of gods, the priest uses his magic to determine the god’s will and then acts upon it. Priests also make sacrifices, offer up prayers, and attempt to spread the influence of their chosen deity among the populace at large.

Re: Campaign Classic: Mythic Egypt

 

THE TEMPLE OF BAST SPELLS

 

Although commonly thought of as the goddess of cats (which she is) Bast is also the goddess of the dawn and one of the many deities with domain over beauty and pleasure. She is normally served by priestess, who all are beautiful in appearance and somewhat playful in attitude (off-duty priestesses like to gossip and play pranks.) Priestess of Bast tend to get along well with Sphinxes and Were-Cats. As a goddess, bast doesn’t demand a great deal from her clergy, but does request that her priestess protect all cats and honor the sun and the light it brings.

 

Many of the light-based spells could be turned into spells for priests of Ra, or other sun and light-based deities.

 

The original “spell college” for the Temple of Bast divided things up into Basic, College, and Unique spells. I’ve edited everything into the modern categories of Offensive, Defensive, Movement, and so.

 

OFFENSIVE SPELLS

Call Lion: This spell calls forth a lion from the local desert. Once the lion arrives the caster needs to control it on some fashion (although GMs could allow the priestess to simply add the Advantage Slavishly Loyal (+1).)

 

8	Summon 204-point Lion; OAF (amulet or symbol consecrated to 
Bast; -1), Arrives Under Own Power (-½), Summoned Being Must 
Inhabit Locale (-½), Only When Serving The God’s Purposes (-½), 
Requires A Magic Skill Roll (-½), Extra Time (Full Phase, -½), 
Gestures (-¼), Incantations (-¼), END 4

 

Call Sphinx: As with Call Lion, this summons a Sphinx from the local area. This can be either a Sphinx from the Hero System Bestiary, or a Sphinx as seen in the Racial Templates section. Since the Sphinx is an intelligent being, the priestess will need to bargain with it. If the cause is a worthy one (such as furthering the cause of Bast or to protect felines) the Sphinx will probably be well-disposed to helping out.

 

12	  Summon 300-point Sphinx; OAF (amulet or symbol 
consecrated to Bast; -1), Arrives Under Own Power (-½), Summoned 
Being Must Inhabit Locale (-½), Only When Serving The God’s 
Purposes (-½), Requires A Magic Skill Roll (-½), Extra Time (Full

(amulet or symbol consecrated to Bast; -1), Only When Serving The 
God’s Purposes (-½), Requires A Magic Skill Roll (-½), Extra Time (Full 
Phase, -½), Gestures (-¼), Incantations (-¼), END 4

Know Target's True Name (-1 ½), OAF (amulet or symbol consecrated 
to Bast; -1), Set Effect ("Fall in love with [X]"; -½), Only When

Re: Campaign Classic: Mythic Egypt

 

THE TEMPLE OF SET SPELLS

 

Set is the god of darkness, destruction, drought, and war. He is also the god of evil, in all its forms, and his priests are no different. The men and women who serve set do so body and soul and will commit any deed, no matter how foul, in his service. Set’s greatest desire (aside from becoming ruler o the gods) is to hold great power over mortals and deny their worship to the other gods. Thus he plots and schemes and his priests inflict pain and harm on the people of Egypt.

 

As Set is a rather vindictive god, his spells can cause the caster great pain and hardship if miscast. Smart priests buy down the Requires A Skill Roll Limitation, and even buy it off if they can. Game Masters could even make this a mark of rank in the priesthood. Novices have to buy RASR at -1 per 5 Active Points, journeymen -1 per 10 Active Points, masters -1 per 20 Active Points, and a blessed few don’t need it at all. Also note some of the spells have huge Active and Real Point costs. Game Masters may want to make them into a form of ritual magic and require the Skill Roll be split among all participants (or make it so lesser priests can use their Skill Roll as a complimentary to the main caster, else no one is going to be casting some of these spells!)

 

As with the Temple of Bast, the original “spell college” for the Temple of Set divided things up into Basic, College, and Unique spells. I’ve edited everything into the modern categories of Offensive, Defensive, Movement, and so.

 

As a final note, many of these spells won’t work on another priest of Set. This isn’t considered Personal Immunity, but more in line with Only When Serving The God’s Purposes. Of course, as mentioned, Set is an unpleasant god, and might revoke that ‘immunity’ at any time.

 

OFFENSIVE SPELLS

Clouds Of Set: This spell produces a cloud of dust that only the caster can see through. Miscasting the spell gets the caster a face-full of dust himself.

 

9	Darkness to Sight Group 6m radius, Personal Immunity (+¼); OAF 
(amulet or symbol consecrated to Set; -1), Only When Serving The 
God’s Purposes (-½), Requires A Magic Skill Roll (-½), Side Effects 
(character takes 6d6 Sight Group Flash; -½), Gestures (-¼), 
Incantations (-¼), END 4

 

Corruption: This evil and insidious spell slowly turns the target into a devoted slave of Set. It will need to be cast over a period of days to fully work, meaning the caster needs to be ikeep close contact with his target.

 

4	Major Transform 1d6 (normal human into a human devoted to the 
cause of Set, healed back by being blessed by a priest), AVAD (Mental 
Defense; +0), ACV (uses OMCV against DMCV; +¼), Partial Transform

return at the rate of 5 per Minute; +1); Side Effects (character takes

Magic Skill Roll (-½), Gestures (-¼), Incantations (-¼), END 8

Gestures (-¼), Incantations (-¼), END 5

 

Eye Of Set: This spell puts the target under the ever-watchful eye of Set, making him quickly age and wither and possibly die. Due to the cost of the spell (both in Active Points and END) it is best used as a form of Ritual Magic. It might be a form of torture, or used as a form of blackmail (do as we ask or we’ll do to you what we did to your slave here.) It may also be used to execute those who have attracted Set’s attention and displeasure.

 

66	Drain BODY 4d6, Delayed Return Rate (points return at the rate of 5 
per Month; +2 ¾); OAF (amulet or symbol consecrated to Set; -1),

Form Of The Beast: This spell allows the priest to assume the form of a animal sacred to Set. It could be a boar, a crocodile, or a Set Beast (a dog-like or wolf-like creature.) The choice must be made when the spell is purchased by the caster. The caster becomes almost beast-like once the spell is cast and may forget he’s really a man if he remains transformed for too long.

Reversion (+0); Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), -1 ¼),

Summon Ka Mummy: A ka mummy is animated by the ka portion of a deceased person’s spirit or soul. They may animate due to the deceased being unwilling to go, upset about something, or due to a spell like this. A ka mummy is best represented by the lich character sheet on page 284 of the Hero System Bestiary, minus the magical power pool. Skills should reflect what the mummy knew in life. This spell only summons the mummy, what the caster does once it arrives is up to him. If he miscasts the spell, the mummy still arrives, it just wants to kill the caster (then leave.)

 

16	Summon 400-point Ka Mummy; Side Effects (Ka Mummy seeks out 
character in order to kill him; -1), OAF (amulet or symbol consecrated 
to Set; -1), Arrives Under Own Power (-½), Only When Serving The 
God’s Purposes (-½), Requires A Magic Skill Roll (-½), Gestures (-¼), 
Incantations (-¼), END 8

 

Visions Of Pain: This spell reaches into the target’s mind and pulls out his worst fears. Game Masters could scrap the Telepathy part of the spell, although that’s useful if the caster wants to prepare other tortures for his target.

 

17	Telepathy 12d6 (Human class of minds); Must Know Target's True 
Name (-1 ½), OAF (amulet or symbol consecrated to Set; -1), No

DEFENSIVE SPELLS

Hand Of Set: This spell produces a mystic barrier. The exact appearance is up to the GM. Despite its name, it probably doesn’t look like a giant god-like hand.

 

10	Barrier 8 PD/8 ED, 0 BODY (up to 12m long, 2m tall, and ½m thick); 
OAF (amulet or symbol consecrated to Set; -1), Only When Serving

MISCELLANEOUS SPELLS

Summon Set: This spells forcibly summons Set to this plane. The 3,000 points is a rough estimate for a god, based on character sheets for various god-like beings seen in other HERO System products. The spells requires a whole team of priests, a human sacrifice, and a day-long ritual. Miscasting the spell results in the caster getting sent to Set’s domain. Odds are he won’t be coming back. Even if the spell is cast and Set arrives, he won’t be too happy. Unless given a good reason (and it better be good) for his summoning, Set my just kill everyone in sight as an object lesson.

 

51	Summon 3000-point Set; Extra Time (1 Day, Character May Take No 
Other Actions, -4 ¼), OAF Expendable (Extremely Difficult to obtain

If he doesn't, I do. But he posted earlier that since Steve is working on Mythic Hero at the moment, converting Mythic Greece now would be... poor timing.

Actually, I will be presenting my take on some Mythic Greece material. A few Templates, some magic items, and some heroic powers. No gods or monsters. Once Mythic Hero is out I could go back and offer a take on any gods and the like that Steve doesn't cover. I also will be presenting some Robin Hood professional Templates as well.
