Khaos Effects Table (Minor)

Here's the list of Khaos effects from my campaign, "Return of Khaos." This is the lower level list; the party is now about 11-12th level, and I need to create the more powerful effects chart.

This table is evenly spilt between beneficial and harmful effects.

Whew... That's it, then.

I hope you all enjoy them.

Just to give you an example of a few random rolls (pretend this is happening to your favorite character...):

-Hair falls out!
-Need twice normal water
-Gain random medium magic item
-Love tabaxi.

Wow, for a 4-roll run that isn't all that bad... but try it yourself, you'll see! It tends to come out evenish, but sooner or later...... you know what happens.

Heh... my pleasure, Rpjunkie! Post a few of your random rolls (or chaos-touched creatures, for that matter...)

Tallyho, gotta move,

Great stuff, Jester! Thanks for sharing.

Just to add to the fun, the latest Dungeon/Polyhedron arrived in the mail today, and Jonathan Tweet's Omega World d20 mini game has a great percentile chart of random mutations on pages 18-19. Be sure to check it out if you like this kind of random craziness.

Cheers,

Ok, here's a 4-roll run:

1. Fast Healing +1
2. Fast Healing +1 (rolled 54 twice in a row)
3. Fast Healing +1 (I kid you not, and I really shook up the dice this time!)
4. Gain fire subtype (with physical changes, i.e. red skin, etc.)

Not bad. The fire subtype could pose some problems in civilized company on the Prime.

That wasn't nearly chaotic enough, though. Let's try this again (with some different dice)....

1. Insanity (see Player's Option: Spells and Magic for ideas)
2. Chaos Curse! Roll once per day on charts until chaos curse comes up again.
3. Shrink 18", lose 12 lbs
4. Gain 1d8 psionic Power Points. If you aren't psionic these allow you to take psionic feats and skills and mean that you're always a flatfooted psionic against psionic attacks.

Ok, this poor PC is seriously messed up now.

I never even made it onto any of the subtables.

Cheers,
