Death Save

While surviving death is possible in the Crucible, death isn't something that should be taken for granted. Resurrection isn't a guarantee and isn't without consequences.

rite of renewal

fate or ritual.

There are two ways for a someone to be resurrected: by will through the egregore or through a blood ritual. Depending on the path taken may result in different outcomes. Players can choose which resurrection path to take that suits their plotting needs.

fate Revival rate: Fate resurrections take time, resulting in the character being dead for a longer period of in-game time. Consequences: The pool of curses/blessings is more broad and less punishing and only affect the person being resurrected. Involvement: Does not require other PCs to complete resurrection. Return: Resurrected character wakes up somewhere random.

ritual Revival rate: Ritual resurrections are instant, the character remains dead for as long as it takes for the ritual to be completed. Consequences: The pool of curses/blessings is more punishing. There's a chance that the ritual will backfire, resulting in an additional curse to be inflicted on ritual participants. Involvement: Requires at least 2 volunteer PCs and a thread. Return: Resurrected character appears at the site of the ritual.

facing judgement.

All those who die will have to face judgment in order to determine if they can return to the living. Those who have died will wake up in a place that looks similar to the Crucible in the company of the Judge — a figure who takes the appearance of someone close and familiar to the dead. The Judge will ask the newly dead three questions which they can respond however way please (answering the question direct, refusing to answer, or remaining unresponsive are all valid responses) and the Judge will determine if they should return to the Crucible.

Judgment will be handled summary style upon submitting the death save form. There are no right and wrong answers to the questions asked but the answers will determine the consequences of resurrection.

consequences

No one survives death unscathed. Those who come back will most likely return with the echo of death lingering within them: a curse or a blessing.

Players are able to submit their preferences of what kind they do and don't want, the pool of curses and blessings is largely left up to chance. The more subsequent resurrections a person has, the worse and more permanent the consequences more likely become.

thornbound curses.

Curses can be divided into these four main categories that scale across four tiers. The higher the tier, the more severe the curse.

curse types. Debuff — A malady that impacts the physical body. (ex. Stuck with a perpetual chill and can't seem to get warm.) Affliction — A condition that infects the mind. (ex. Hears voices from beyond the veil whispering to the guilty deeds of others.) Loss — A person has returned with something missing. (ex. Forgetting the names and faces of family members and loved ones.) Corruption — A person has returned with something changed. (ex. A withering touch that can sap the lifeforce out of living things.)

curse tiers. i. Curse mildly inconveniences the person, but is temporary. (ex. Feeling the ache of old wounds that gradually go away after a while.) ii. Curse greatly impacts the person, but is temporary. (ex. Has prophetic dreams of disasters befalling the fortress that cause fits of paranoia and hysteria that go away once the prophecy is fulfilled or averted. ) iii. Curse mildly inconveniences the person and is permanent (ex. An arm that was injured before resurrection is now permanently cold and numb, but functional.) iv. Curse greatly impacts the person and is permanent. (ex. An insatiable and endless appetite for the flesh of others.)

briars blessings.

Blessings are considered to be incredibly rare boons granted upon resurrection and are more likely to be gifted to those who have given their life in an act of sacrifice. Blessings fall into three different categories and do not scale in power.

Hand — A physical enhancement.
(ex. The ability to heal abnormally fast but at the cost of great hunger.)

Mind — A mental enhancement.
(ex. The ability to calm others with the touch of a hand and absorb their panic in exchange. )

Heart — A spiritual enhancement.
(ex. The ability to bend fate in one's favor that may cause unforeseen consequences.)
