Enchanted fountains for DFRPG (and GURPS)
2017-Aug-30, Wednesday 09:39Enchanted Fountains
Magic fountains and pools are classic dungeon features, dating back to some of the first published adventures for D&D. DF Exploits talks about them quickly, and suggests a table of random effects might be fun. So here's a table!
Roll (2d) | Effect |
---|---|
2 | Healing magic! Roll 1d; 1-5: Heals 4d6 injury; 6: Roll HT for each affliction affliction or crippling injury to have the affliction removed or the crippled limb restored. Roll HT-5 for severed limbs. |
3 | Teleports the character to a nearby (within 50 yards) room (choosen at the GMs whim, or randomly). |
4 | Random attribute increase! Enjoy a (1d) bonus to a random attribute for (2d) hours. Roll on the random attribute table (below) to pick which one. |
5 | Monster disguise! For (1d) hours you are magically disguised as a monster from the wandering monster table for this dungeon, as if a Simple Illusion spell and an Illusion Disguise spell were cast on you (DF Spells p. 40). Unlike the spells, this illusion is not dispelled by touch! If there is no wandering monster table, pick a monster type found in the dungeon. |
6 | Gain Magic Resistance 5 for 1d hours (or increase existing Magic Resistance by 5). This is not Improved Magic Resistance and will prevent spellcasting! |
7 | Nothing happens... this time! (The magic is on the fritz!) |
8 | Invisibility! Grants invisibility for 1d×10 minutes, or until user takes offensive action (e.g., attacks) or casts a spell. |
9 | Random attribute decrease! HT-4 or suffer a (1d) penalty to a random attribute for (16-HT) hours. Roll on the random attribute table (below) to pick which one. |
10 | Sleepytime. Roll HT-4 or sleep for (16-HT) hours (as per the Sleep Potion). |
11 | Corrosion! (1d-1 corrosion damage for a dip, 3d HP of injury if swallowed) |
12 | Dangerous poison! HT or take 2d+6 tox HP of injury (HT-4 if swallowed!) |
Roll (1d) | Effect |
---|---|
1 | ST |
2 | DX |
3 | IQ |
4 | HT |
5 | Perception |
6 | Will |
While written for the DFRPG, this material is fully compatible with GURPS DF (and GURPS in general)
