[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 4971297, member: 20805"] RW, thanks for the information on the cheese.. I was wondering that as well. My players should be coming across it this coming friday.. However, I am not the type to have a completely unknown mystery consumable item because *someone* is bound to eat it and ask "so, what happens"... and I have arrived at a fun option for the Cheese.... still working on the exact 4e mechanics of it... THe short of it: [sblock] This cheese is meant as an epic, non-lich style of immortality.. of sorts. It is used in a ritual in which the aging evil guy/gal suckers some young witless soul to partake in a special 'blessing' in which the young soul will gain lots of arcane power. In reality, the ritual is designed for the souls to swap bodies. Consumption of which slays the aging evil guy/gals body while slicing all but a tenuous thread to the soul. Using the force will and chutzpah, the soul traverses a small distance to the mostly willing target and forceably trades positions. This leaves the evil guy/gal in the young body and the young soul in the dead body. The evil guy/gal usually makes sure the old body stays that way with a handy knife. There is a bit of a safety net in that the spell can be ended by a particularly willful soul, returning the body from the state of death. This means, in the PC's hands, they will have a block of cheese that can kill thier body. You may ask.. how might this be useful.. well, I am looking into the game terms of objects versus enemy/ally as a dead body is an object. The PC would still have full control over movement and actions.. but would not be targetable by the majority of powers. The down side is that the safety net is the 4e Death save that the PC can modify the roll by an amount equalling thier CHR modifier... so it is possible to actually die from using this cheese. :) [/sblock] THoughts and feedback are always welcome!
