Hello all,
I've just started running a D20 modern adventure and would like your advice on an event in an upcoming game.
Basically, I'd like a player character to be contacted by an enemy on a spiritual level. One way to do this would be to simply have the character have a dream. Another would be a vision brought on by drugs.
The idea that occured to me is a near death experience. The character will be driving and then crash. While in the car and injured the player experiences a vision of a new enemy. He wakes up the next day in the hospital and is fully healed before any further encounters happen - in other words there is no detrimental effect in game. All I'm going for here is dramatic effect - the dream thing has been done to death.
My fear is that the player may appeal that he was not allowed a driving check or a saving throw. I could allow this but then of course there is a chance that he would make his save.
What can anyone suggest as to how to handle this? Or should I abondon this idea and simply follow regular rules?
Thanks for your help.
