The Heart of Darkness spell in demon magic section of DO, I want to know as a GM would you allow a mage with the Doppleganger spell to sacrifice his own clone to gain the extra P.P.E.? I think this abuse is possible from the Gilgamesh's story of gaining increased lifespan from sacrificing his clones.
Another question say a Shifter didn't know the spell instead had one of his minions who did knew it sacrifice the Shifters doppleganger for the extra P.P.E. and spells?
Would you or your GM rule dopplegangers can't be used this way? IF you allow it would you impose the -20% resurrection to make it harder to recast the future Dopplegangers to stop the abuse?

Re: Heart of Darkness
It depends on if they're alive or not. Remember while they're a clone of you, they're just a magical construct. There is a % you roll each year to see if it truely comes alive or not. If it's passed and it becomes a real person then yes it counts otherwise not.

Re: Heart of Darkness
Our Shifter wants our GM to allow her to sacrifice a doppleganger of Odin who she is linked to. Our GM may allow this for a small campaign and return the extra P.P.E. at the end. I think dopplegangers don't have souls so this shouldn't work but still could be an interesting way to gain a mass amount of power but this extreme amount is cool.

As I said, dopplegangers have a % chance yearly to gain a soul.

Re: Heart of Darkness
I have a question, can the heart of darkness be used more than once, which seems munchy to me, or only one time?

multiple times.. Though the amount of PPE gained is between 10% and 40%, so you're not looking at a munchy amount...Anyway, by the time someone becomes munchy with stolen PPE, you're going to have a magical community hunting you
