Trying my hand at some #Dicetember 2021 tables. d6 tables - easy peasy.
1: Ammo - What is up with this magical ammo?
- Glowing: these arrows glow like a magnesium flare when shot off and for another d6 turns after they hit.
- Chaotic: 50% chance it hits a random target within 20' of the original target, but damage is always maximum.
- Splintering: The arrow splinters - each point of damage hits a different random target within 10' of the original target (including the original target).
- Multiplying: Each morning there are 1d6 more arrows than the night before, up the maximum quiver size of 20. In BXDH/Sorrow terms, the die type will increase.
- Piercing: After hitting the first target, a second target behind the first is also hit (roll for it) and the damage is half of the first damage rolled.
- Screaming: These make a god-awful racket when fired - targets struck must make a Fear Save (or spells if that is your thing) or run off, also screaming, for 1d6 rounds.
2: Ice - How thick is this ice I'm standing on?
- Paper-thin: Dex Check/Save vs. Wands to jump out of the way or fall through!
- Window Pane: Move slowly and spread your weight ... or else ...
- Beefy: Thick enough for some ice fishing (if you have an auger)
- Solid: It is freakishly clear and as thick as the story of a building
- Glacial: It is a glacier ... likely has a lot of ice caves, caves of monsters.
- Planar: You stand upon the precipice of the elemental plane of ice, it isn't infinite, right?
3: Child - What are they hiding behind their back?
- A bunny: 1 in 4 it is dead, otherwise 50/50 it is a happy pet or feral beastie
- A knife: dripping with fresh blood! what did they do ... or do they plan to do?
- A grubby doll: looks disturbingly like one of the PCs (of course)
- A bag of marbles: normal, unless they throw them on the ground then run away when their older angry sibling wanders in with a club
- A deck of cards: want to play a game? No? How about a trick then?
- A severed head: an old one, eyes and mouth sewn up, borrowed from their grandmama
4: Rage - how does it manifest itself?
- Screaming, yelling, and a general carrying on
- Silent seething and withering glares
- Passive aggressive action and microagressions
- Uncontrollable, destructive violence
- Complete and total vengeance, even if it takes years
- Double down and don't give up, even if you are obviously screwed/wrong
5: Blade - what is the freaky shape is this sword?
- Oversized crescent moon
- Grasping withered claw
- A circle within a circle
- Dozens of overlapping scales
- Silhouette of a sexy warrior
- A twisted spiral with some very sharp dangly bits
6: Shame - what is the dark secret they are hiding
- Murdered someone close and feels terrible guilty about not being caught
- Lied about their prowess and skill, this caused their family to fall apart
- They grew up poor/rich and have been lying about too long to come clean
- Ate the last piece of cake at the wedding, making the groom cry
- Blamed their sibling for a vile act which they committed
- Worked for a foul organization for far too long, did terrible things
7: Deamon - what does it want from you
- Just little memory - one you won't miss. See? You don't even remember what is lost.
- One small cup, brimming with the tears of children
- A saucer of milk from a goat belonging to a farmer that does NOT like you
- Three hairs from the braid of Princess Alora (whoever that is)
- A pickle. and make it a good one. nice and crunchy. better be plenty dill, too.
- Just stay inside your room tonight. No matter what you hear. Shhhh ... take a little nap
