Magic involving Possession

[joela]

I remember a while back there was a WotC 3.x product that had several alternative forms of magic in it. One form involved being possessed by "residuals" of dead(?) gods; another involved the Plane of the Shadow; and the third involved True names?

Do you remember the name of the supplement? Also, a third party publisher later developed his own version of the possession magic as well. Anyone know the name of that product?

Tome of magic is the WotC one. It is vestiges, not residuals.

Secrets of Pact Magic from Radiance House is the other one you are thinking of.

Yeah I have the pact magic books and they are awesome hundreds of pages of crunch and fluff. I would recommend them to any one playing 3E or PfRPG

I also strongly recommend the Radiance House website. It has a lot of great stuff, including a generous amount of free stuff (both previews and web enhancements) and the author/owner is very active on the forums (particularly the crunch forum, where he'll regularly post new stuff that he thinks of).

You can also find rules governing possession in the Fiend Folio (Fiend of Possession) and Heroes of Horror (Unholy Scion).

You can also find a different kind of mechanic on my website called Spirit Combat that I developed years ago (based on an idea from an old friend) for a 1E/2E game. It is a type of direct mental combat (mind vs mind, not to be confused with psionics) that can result in possession. Not sure how it would fly in a 3E/OGL game. If anybody tries it out, do let me know how it turns out.
