Hell Pits?

Unread post by Prodigy »

There is a book, can’t remember if it is a Ritter, Dimension or other, that described being sent to hell and returning. The visit offered a seemingly permanent enhancement and penalty should a character survive the visit. Can anyone help?!

From a PB gamebook........I don't remember if the is text that covers this.

If there is text that says this, it most probably is in Armageddon Unlimited. The Rifts Book with HU conversions.

Spoiler:
The was a novel Titled 'Nightseer' by Laurell K. Hamelton where this happed to the half-elf main character.

Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

One thing, Prodigy, that this might refer to is the entry for the Bio-Vats of Diabolus (Dimension Book 11: Dyval-Hell Unleashed, pages 124-126), wherein being exposed to one results in a bit of a crap shoot of reactions. A similar effect, though less infernal, is found with those rescued from a Soul Forge as seen in the Rifts Vampire Sourcebook, pages 125-127.

That the page numbers are similar makes me wish there were some creepy numerological underpinning one could ascribe. I could see a game somehow involving 5[sup]3[/sup] as being hell-touched.
