[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8470203, member: 57383"] Okay, that's definitely overly complicated! Have a plan to how to trim it down a lot, but I'm not in the mood for writing in up at the moment. For a start, let's drop the idea of the victim making a Con save to see when they die. If they're helpless or compliant the jarl will just cut them a bit more or less so they bleed out at the appropriate time regardless of their state of health. Presumably the evil undead murder-druid will be quite practiced at this! Will likely increase the "time of death" to 12-18 minutes, which could be rolled as 2d6×5 + 2d6 + 108 rounds (2d6×5 is 10-60, plus 2d6 is 12-72 plus 108 is 120-180 rounds and there's 10 rounds to a minute) or more simply 2d4 + 10 minutes. Either way, an average of 15 minutes. Gives a rescue party a little longer to arrive at the scene. Might write more later today, but just not feeling inspired at the moment. [/QUOTE]
