Schrödinger, The Flux-Warped Kittie

[roguerouge]

No matter where you are, there it is. Even if the PC leaves it behind in a locked room, it just keeps coming back, inexplicably.

Cat begins grooming you.

Cat looks at you suddenly, like it knows something about you. You just feel like it knows a secret.

The cat came back, the very next day!

I have to say I am loving all of these. I can imagine all of these, some even remind me of stuff from shows and such dealing with cats. The unhinging jaws for example reminds me of Azumanga Daioh.

The cat brings back dying rodents, which disturbingly have the faces of people the PCs have known who have died. They berate, beg and scream at the party as the cat plays with them. If rescued, they appear as normal rodents, but my have some slight trait associated with the NPC they appeared as.

Everybody deserves their own Flux-Warped Cat!

Actually it will be a weird contrast to other effects of the Flux. Since it has also been weaponized and they will see the after effects of it. From cities where the buildings and ground has been turned "alive", to refugees carts being torched because hidden within are warped and insane family members, to flux-warped trains barrelling through towns and cities taking away any in their path, etc. Not to mention just all the different mutated creatures that will be wandering the wilderness now.

Well, two that came to me:

Every time someone looks the cat, roll a die. Odd it's dead at the moment, even it's alive.

Whenever one specific person (preferably the PC, but no neccessarily the owner) is alone with cat, it stands up, produces a cane and top hat (or whatever) and does a song and dance number. No amount of coercion, bribery, trickery, or manipulation will cause the cat to preform when anyone other then the 'special' person could witness it.

1. Cat becomes two dimensional and can slip through tiny cracks and disappears if viewed from the front or rear.

2. Cat's whiskers grow extraordinarily long and can grapple small opponents and throw them around the room with them.

3. Meow can act as a sonic boom - ala shout spell.

4. Cat's paws turn into human hands and feet.

5. Gravity is reversed for the cat - it walks on ceilings and always lands on it back.

 

[Oni]

It ceases to exist if anyone is looking directly at it, but reappears when they look away, can only be seen in peripheral vision.

It swells up like a balloon and begins to float away.

It passes laughing gas.

It unravels like an old sweater

Prehensile forked tongue

Here is one that you can have a lot of fun with.

Copycat: The cat begins to take on the mannerisms and behaviors of either its master or an allied PC or NPC. Equipment appropriate to the cat's size and weight begin to appear on the cat, and the cat acts like that character, perhaps repeating a fighter or monk's martial arts move, praying like a cleric or paladin, or raging like a barbarian. This may or may not have an effect in combat, but has ample opportunities for humor. If the cat is capable of speech at the time, the cat sounds a bit like the character it is copying.

Heck, you could use some of the results on the Wand of Wonder results chart...

Howabout...

For 1d12 rounds, Plushie Mini-Cthulhu shows up, chasing 1" tall metal replicas of the party...

For additional fun, how about some area effect results:

1) Every spell cast in 100' radius this round is affected by a randomly determined Metamagic feat. If this results in a nonsensical result (say, Split Ray on a Fireball), there is a farting sound that emanates from the caster...and no spell gets cast (but the caster doesn't lose the slot).

2) In a 30' radius, every intelligent being "castles": randomly switches places with one other intelligent being. If there is an odd number of beings, the last one switches places with the cat.

3) All beings within 20' radius of the cat disappear into a pocket dimension in which there is no magic and they are all players in a LARP at the Econo Lodge in Minitowoc, Manitoba. There, they must role play their combat. After the combat, "survivors" re-appear as normal. Losers re-appear as magic-less LARPers who have no idea what is going on.

4) In an area of effect that mimics a Meteor Swarm, immense columns of water appear in the biggest open space- up to the limits of the atmosphere if in an open area- channeled from the Elemental Plane of Water. In each pipeline swim the normal inhabitants for that plane...and anyone in their AoE. This effect lasts 1d4 rounds. No damage is done by the water's appearance, though drowning is a possibility.
