When you sell your corpse (in advance!) to the College of Magical Studies, roll + CON. On a 10+ choose two, on a 7-9 choose one.
* They pay 20 coin, now, for your body, later
* You are permitted self-guided study within the student areas, like the library and fourth-tier laboratories.
* The College will provide a small favor.
On a miss, choose one from above, but your ‘body’ will end up in the Necromancy Department, Sub-Basement Thirteen, under special attention of the Fastidious Grey One.
What if on a miss some student actually decides to claim your corpse ahead of time? 🙂
Consider also:
Ask the GM to choose one:
*You are fitted with a collar that will teleport your body to the College of Magical Studies if you draw your Last Breath.
*You are assigned an insurance agent who you must check in with regularly so that the College can keep track of your body.
*You are tattooed with the College’s seal and an identifier and a flesh sample is required upon payment.
Is CON the right key stat for haggling?
it’s less haggling and more… being sufficiently healthy to be of interest, I think.
Ah, gotcha.
Do I still get the benefits if I was Polymorphed into a hamster?
On a more serious note, can they reject “bad” corpses?
I’d like to think that this is probably bit of a pyramid scheme where you can later buy the rights to your body back by meeting a referral quota.

Davide Pignedoli , Marshall Miller , of course feel free to add those twists in if you use the move! If I get the chance to use this in play I’ll certainly keep them in my back pocket for general GM moves that might show up a few sessions down the road. The insurance agent shows up unbidden at an awkward time, the 6- detect magic spell worked properly and shows that the party member has a giant, radiant downward arrow pointing at them in the sky, tracking them for all with the sight to see it. Etc.
Samuel Bogumill If you are a sentient thing, or creature, which should not by rights be sentient, treat a miss as a 7-9 result.
This could work for selling your body to the Dustmen in the Planescape universe.
