Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rahkan" data-source="post: 574851" data-attributes="member: 3583">An idea for the OrdealsInstead of challenging the character's will, by having those spirits entreat him and forcing Will saves, why not challenge the player's willpower. Have the spirits offer the player things in order to induce him to give up this course. Have them offer power, like magical abilities, or gold or titles. Every player gets certain goals for their character, or has some kind of idea of what would make their player really cool (even drama queen roleplayers and munchkins). Have the spirits offer him all of that, with the firm promise that they'll give it to him if he just rejects this course. Then if he actually does accept what they offer, give it all to him...but he's dishonored forever in the eyes of Odin. If he succeeds it would prove that they were not only concerned by the power of the prestige class but by devotion to Odin, etc.  Alternatively, to represent the temptation aspect. You could start with little things, like letting them heal a bit of his health or give him food and water. Then if accepts the temptations become bigger and bigger.</blockquote>
