Hey all I remember not long back some people were talking about creating "Highlander" style immortals in D&D. Well I came up with some ideas loosely based off the Immortal expansion for World of Darkness and from previous posts on this board. So here goes...
Upon a char dying the DM rolls % dice, if the number rolled is less than or equal to the Chars lvl then they come back as an Immortal.
Type: Immortal
Hit Die: increases one type not to exceed d12
Abilities/Skills/saves/Feats: same
Quickening: By taking the head of an Immortal there is a release of the quickening. Visually represented by lightning flashes.....sky going dark and various other things.
Results of Quickening: Upon becoming an Immortal the char gains one Quickening Point(QP). A char gains QP by beheading other immortals (opponents QP-Chars QP= gained QP)(always a gain of at least 1QP). Also you take one Ability Point from your opponents Highest ability and put it into the ability on chars sheet. Also char gains skill points equal to the opponents char lvl, points are to be put into class skills of the opponent which are now the chars class skills.
Uses Of QP: These abliities can be used a number of times per day equal to there QP.
Empower Weapon: Weapon does an additional 1d6 points of electrical damage(lasts a number of rds equal to wis modifier)
Empower Self: Char gains 1d4 ability points in one ability(lasts a number of hours equal to wis modifier)
Speed of Stag: +10 speed(lasts a number of hours equal to wis modifier)
Special Qualities:
Water Breathing
Wholeness of Body(can heal 2x HD per day)
Sense Quickening(senses another Immortal within 200ft)
SR(10+char level)
Regenerate(+5 HP/Rnd treats all damage as subdual accept those coming from a bladed weapon, can not reattach/regrow lost limbs)
Only way to die is to be beheaded
Gains a Pocjet Dimention in which weapon can be stored
Rules:
Cannot fight on Holy Ground(Immortals can sense Holy places) if they do then they gain the attention of the gods and something very bad happens.
Fights are always one on one, if this is broken then once again gods learn of it and something bad happens.
If an Immortals head is taken by a mortal then the quickening will reach out to the nearest immortal within 1 mile, if no one is found then the quickening disperses into nothing.
Welp what do you think, comments suggestions?
