A Wierd Duo

[Richard Snider]

What follows is a truly strange duo who run around in my campaign. Hope
they prove interesting.

PUITRE THE SICK - Wizard, "Cursed"   Ma'Helan  AGE - 30(593)

OCV  1   DCV  5   MEL  13   EL  10  CEL  2  Hght  4'6"  Wght  100lbs
HISTORY - Puitre was born in the year 738AS in the city of Matan. His
mother was a serving woman. His father a Ma'helan Duke and wizard who
acknowledged his bastard. Puitre was educated at Matan's finest colleges
and committed his existence to living as a scholar.
   In the year 768AS Puitre contracted a fatal plague. At his mother's
plea, his father implemented the only available cure for the disease. He
laid this curse on his son.
   Puitre first learned magic in the year 895AS. He concentrates his
efforts as a wizard on knowledge arts and permanent magic. He is mostly
happy with his lot and is not actively seeking to cure the curse.
INNATE POWER - Astral Powers MEL13/EL7
CURSE - When Puitre dies his spirit leaves his body which turns to dust.
2D20 minutes after his death, he returns to the living in a random form.
Roll D100. On a 1-60 he is himself. Otherwise, roll an encounter for the
time of day he was killed and the area. He will return in the resulting
form with the stats listed above. Regardless of the form, he is fully
aware, able to communicate and in full command of his powers.
CURE - To cure the curse, he must journey to the upper world and bathe in
the Sea of Astral Flame that resides there. He is aware of this and has no
intention of taking that bath.
