Even after the spell ends, the subject is still visibly shaken and takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, saves and checks for 3D10 minutes.







!!!Extra Rules!!!

Pain as Power...

Some spells and items (such as the Liquid Pain spell and the Pain Extractor windrous item [available from the Book of Vile Darkness]) allow pain to be stored in a special receptacle. This distilled pain, often called Agony is a thick liquid.

Evil spellcasters can use a liquid pain in magic item creation. Each dose is the equivalent of 3 experience points needed to create the item. Liquid pain can be used in conjunction with dark-craft experience points and souls used for experience points (something else in the Book of Vile Darkness).

A dose of Agony can also be used as a special evil spell component. Some infernal magic items are powered by pain (See Chapter 6 of the Book of Vile Darkness for "Diabolic Engines and Demonic Devices")

It takes a full day to distil a dose of liquid pain with the Liquid Pain spell. A victim cannot endure-or produce, to put it another way-more extractions of pain than it has points of Constitution.


Agony - 200gp, street value.

Agony is distilled pain distilled in liquid form, as extracted by certain spells or items, automatically increases the effective caster level of a single spell by +2. This increase doesn't stack with previous applications of Agony o any other such bonuses to effective caster level.

This evil spell component is optional (and not mentioned along with other spell components in the spell's descriptive text). These components sometimes increase the potency of an evil spell; the component is consumed whether it helps or not.

A spellcaster can use only one optional component in the casting of an evil spell, so using two Agonys or an Agony and another evil optional component (see the Book of vile Darkness for more information on these wonderful things) wont improve the spellcaster's chances.

As with and spell component, the caster must be touching an optional evil spell component and have it displayed prominenely for it to function.

These optional components can only be applied to spells with the evil descriptor.

New Deity - Alessa - Goddess of Grief, Revenge and Madness.



This is another Deity I'm using in my foreign pantheon. However this one isn't quite as original as the last one. I originally included her in a mini-campaign...in a sort of "practise run" for the eventual campaign. I liked the idea of what she could stand for though and figured that she'd make a decent Deity.

This Alessa is a hybradised version of the game and movie canon.

She was summoned by a madman from another dimensio. As such, she is only a reflection of the original "Alessa," but she is still afforded great power. She is a perversion of a young girl's wish for revenge, embodied in several forms.

I'll post the rules for "Liquid Pain" in a later entry, with another Deity who needs the rules.

Before then, you'll have to wait or buy the relevent book.

------------

Alessa: -

Alignment = CE

Prefered Weapon = Knife (Dagger)

Domains...

She is a perverted incarnation of the a girl's wish for revenge. She is Neutral Evil.

Her followers simply call themselves "The Order"

They are composed of power-hungry evil-doers, most of them lunatics or bearing some kind of hateful grudge and want vengeance.
Mostly though, they're all absoloutely mad.

Her portfolio encompasses corruption, grief, madness, vengeance and pain. She offers salvation from that by revelling in it and giving in to those feelings.

Her followers believe (although most of them are mad) that she will allow them to live in piece by cleansing the world, by bringing an "enlightened" view of the world where all people will simply accept their madness...

Because of her erratic and chatotic nature though, she can not have many followers, thus dooming her to failure. This doesn't stop her trying though.
