Thoughts on Necromancer powers

Unread post by Kathias »

Hello my question is with the necromancer O.C.C ability 2 augmentation and additional appendages. Any idea if you can combine more than one different supernatural skull together? For instance wearing one skull on top of the other, and or if it’s possible to use skull fragments or large piece to make a crown or elaborate head piece with more than one supernatural skulls connected.

If you are playing a Necromancer with more than one head, I couldn't see a problem. Otherwise, I find it unlikely.

"Yo, dog, I heard you liked wearing a skull on your head, so we put a skull inside a skull inside a skull so you can wear a skull on your head while wearing a skull on your head while wearing a skull on your head!"

The Necromantic Turducken Helmet. I love it! That sounds so ludicrous and awesome that I'd allow it, with the caveat that your field of view will be severely restricted and you're not allowed to complain about anyone else at the gaming table making fun of it.

In this case, I'd insist that the PLAYER have to make and wear the helmet at the table as well to gain its benefits. :D

This feels more Kingdom of Loathing than Palladium.

How can we not give you due support and credit?

I'd allow it, well at least once but I'd start with giving the character weird dreams about other peoples lives until eventually he ends up with 1 extra undead head attached to his shoulders per extra skull he wore, and the heads would probably be his first kill and his first kill at lvl 5 etc, and I'd make them argue constantly and try to wrest control of his body.
