Nightbane in Rifts....

Unread post by Phoenix9lives »

Nightbane are listed as immune to physical transformation and mind control. Do faerie food affect them at all?

Not even a little, if the food mind controls or transforms.

Stealing this opportunity to ask the forum, What are your favorite homebrew or on the fly faerie foods?

The Sunday, a frozen treat that causes the eater to be bathed in a warm radiance for exactly 24 hours. This is true sunlight, but does not provide light in an area, only the eater is illuminated. For the duration, the diner is kept warm and comfortable, even in freezing conditions.

The I-scream sundae, delivered only upon request. The I-scream sundae is exactly identical to The Sunday, except that the effect is accompanied by a loud, continuous, human scream that continues for the duration. The faeries only serve this treat when specifically asked, and they find it hilarious to give the diner exactly what they ask for.

The toasted nuts. Women eating these find them warm and tasty. Men consuming them find their pants-fronts spontaneously combust moments later.

Moon Pies. Delicious banana or chocolate cookie treats, baked by tiny elven fae in their treehouse bakeries. Once consumed, the eater will, at an inopportune (and absolutely hilarious) moment, find his pants have become invisible, leaving his derrière exposed. While the invisible pants become visible again after leaving his body, the eater will find that replacement pants, while opaque for a while, too soon also disappear. Lasts as long as the GM finds it funny.

Haven't played my fae campaign in a long time, but I do love those ideas. Thanks.

Why not start a thread of your own... maybe a random fairy food list and then it can be added to the random item sticky.

Why do they have to consume? Dart guns with silver needles and the syringe is full of "sunday" or the fire and brimstone sundae service.
