Is this permanent?



This should be #13 on the list. (I mean, it shouldn't be in the list at all if you want your players to want to use this item, but if it's gonna be on the list, it should be unlucky 13.)
Click to expand...
The stuff that has no time limit is permenant. Yes your right the death should be on 13 that makes sense and the reason it's there is there's high risk with high reward is the point. The staff is supposed to be chaotic I nature. The name is from elder scrolls the daedric prince of madness
sheogorath made it.
 

It's certainly a fun idea, but I wonder if there are too many effects. How would you describe this item to a player and how would they decide when to use it? If the idea is to introduce a magic item with unknown random effects that could potentially wreck your game if used, this certainly achieves that ie:

48. You disintegrate into ash - no save, the PC is dead
76. The closest creature to you turns into a penguin - no save, unfortunate if a PC
93. You make Constitution saving throw DC 15 or you are turned to stone - sorry you're dead (perhaps this could be reversed with say a Greater Restoration spell?)
99. You rip a black hole in time and space - PC's within 20' must make a WIS save or be transported to a random plane. Difficult for a DM to plan for and likely to split the party (as those that make the save won't go)

In addition to the instant death options there are a number of options which will change a character significantly and forever without a save.

23 and 51 indicate that the item has charges. Recommend stating how many in the description along with any rules for replenishment.

I'm not saying don't do it, just be prepared that it could change your game significantly and if the effect is bad you may have to deal with one or more unhappy players! :) The Wild Magic Surge table on p.104 of the PHB has some fun effects but most are temporary.

Hmm some things to consider but yes your right some context is required. I'm currently running tomb of annihilation and my players already have had 2 deaths and 1 lost character which during this campaign resurrection magic does not work because of the global curse. I have aquire a supplement to the adventure for the ruins of mezro any magical items found in the ruins that you leave with from the area turn to dust and yes I am aware that doing so the players may or may not anger them by taking away there loot. I trust my players to be civil about it. As far as ruining the rest of the game the staff is meant to be in there hands temporarily and yes I'm aware of that some of the affects such as planar travel will throw a wrench I things but I'm comfortable with that and prepared. The item has 3 charges on it and renew at dawn for 1d4. 1 charge rolls 3 times on the table I'm not firm on the number of rolls I might change it to 2 instead of 3

Also I agree that turning to stone is reversible by the spell restoration. As for the permanent death the staff was created by the deadric prince madness sheogorath and the text on the staff is that it could kill the wielder so there is a warning before use. It has high risk with high reward.
The polymorth can be reverse as well. And yes I want the permanent effects
The rip in space could reach further I think so not to split the party I believe I will change that as well

[MENTION=6976164]Nightbeat84[/MENTION] - comments in your last 2 posts sound good. One other suggestion is to beef up "100. Re-roll". Perhaps roll twice more on the table?
