D - Death Experience

Your character died and was resurrected? Great, but I’m afraid that on Ortix it’s not that simple as “you are dead – cast Raise Dead – you are alive”. Don’t forget that local gods are CRUEL AND EVIL – and they crave for human soul.

You have returned from the land of the dead (probably from the Greenish Pits of the Primal Essences or Endless Plain of Abandonment, or maybe some other, rather unpleasant place), roll d20:

1. It seems that your brain is partly dead… Reduce all your statistics by one.
2. You have returned, by your body is wracked by unearthly powers. Reduce your STR, CON and DEX by one.
3. Something gone terribly wrong – suffer one minor curse (its effect lasts for one week).
4. You have witnessed the unspoken horrors of the netherworld. Reduce your Wisdom by 1d6.
5. Damned spirits will haunt you until you die. Reduce your Wisdom by one.
6. They are everywhere and they want you back! Reduce your Charisma by one.
7. Shocked by resurrection, you suffer a heart attack! Save vs. death or you are… dead.
8. After experiencing the cold grip of death, your body trembles terribly. Reduce your Dexterity by one.
9. You were cursed by one of the Butchered Gods: randomly pick one of your stats and decrease it by one
10. Nothing happens.
11. Unearthly power flows through your body. Increase your Strength by one, by reduce your Charisma by one.
