Healing Side-Effects (Uni)
In the
Etruscan tradition, clerics of Uni grant healing in unique ways. What is
more, those receiving healing in a Fanum (Etruscan sacred place) may reroll
their Side-Effect result and pick which one they would rather experience.
1-2. Let us consider this chopped liver: In
order for the healing to work, a fresh liver, removed from a living being and
examined for at least 1d12 rounds is needed first. Of course, using the
patient’s would be counterproductive in this case.
3-4. Healing Treasures: It is jewelry or other riches that is now required.
The patient will be healed, but only up to 1 hit point for every 2 gold pieces
in value sacrificed. Other ailments, such as diseases, might require the
sacrifice of an item of 15 gold pieces or more (still a bargain at today’s rates).
5-6. We are kind... Simple friendliness
and warmth makes Uni smile. The patient will too; that is, if he or she has
been friendly and warm during the last hour (unlikely if they have been injured
in battle though- only a base 10% chance). Otherwise, they will receive no
healing until they lighten up!
7-8. Gods and Goddesses, Men and Women: Though
it might seem perfectly normal to Etruscan-types for the sexes to mix together
and be polyamorous, others might not think so. As long as the patient has taken
such a libertine attitude to whom he or she associates and cavorts with for the
last 24 hours, then the healing will work normally. Greeks and Romans probably
won’t like them though, as a result (a 75% chance).
9-12. Blessing of Uni: The patient is
healed for the spell’s full amount. In addition, if the cleric has examined a
liver first or the recipient sacrifices 2 gold pieces in valuables for every
hit point healed, is friendly, and/or cavorts freely, then the recipient gains
a +2 bonus to all non-violent rolls made for the next 1d6 hours, up to a +6 if three
or more apply.
