Objectification
For the purpose of spell rules, you can treat creatures as objects, and objects as creatures.

The trade city of Torsea has finally capitulated and decided to join the Vantari Empire (after it was pointed out that imperial troops can probably deal with the looming Goliath problem). So, to welcome their new imperial overlords, the city is putting on a gladiatorial game of special magnificence.
And you, dear tavernites, are asked to create teams of gladiators to appear in the games!
Rules: a team is 3-5 individuals, almost always slaves. They must be (mostly) sentient and alive. Bows, crossbows, guns and spells are considered poor form. If you want to describe the rich person who owns the team, even better!

You consider everything people. Any spell you have that normally only works on “people” will work on anything with a mind. Maybe even some things that don’t have a mind.

I’m considering statting up the the PC as an NPC, with a player-written Drive, and a promise of not being in a significantly worse state when the player comes back..

Distracting Intercourse
when you engage somebody in conversation, and don’t want their attention to wander, roll +CHA. On a hit, their attention is all yours. On a 7-9, their attention is your, but pick one:
-holding their attention puts you in a spot
-you can only hold their attention briefly

-You create an advantage, +1 forward
-you deal your damage +1d6
The selected object might be able to continue to function as a weapon, depending on what it is (GM’s call).

Anybody seen or have any ideas for a Gnome racial move for the fighter?

When you are trippin’ balls, roll +WIS.
When you are trippin’ balls, roll +WIS. On a 10+, pick one. On a 7-9, pick two and the GM will pick one. On a miss, the GM will pick as many as seems appropriate. Whatever the picks are, you experience and/or believe them to be real. If the source of the hallucinations is sufficiently magical, they might actually BE real…
– your eyeballs attempt to flee
– there is a giant snail nearby singing a popular tune
– your clothing begins shrinking and constricting
– your friends or allies jeer or mock you with demonic voices
– “down” is at ninety degrees to the usual orientation
– the sky opens and the stars stare at you
– nearby hair grows uncontrollably
– the number of fingers you have changes constantly
– the most beautiful butterfly you’ve ever seen flutters past
extra suggestions for potential hallucinations encouraged!

When you search a dark, damp, dank, and almost-certainly monster-infested area for Panacea Mushrooms (the main ingredient in healing potions), roll +WIS.
On a hit, you find a cluster, it’s size relative to the size of the underground complex you find it in (bigger caves mean more mushrooms). On a 7-9, pick one as well:
-it’s actually some other potentially useful mushroom (GM’s choice) instead.
-it’s difficult, dangerous or inconvenient to get to.
-you attract the attention of something nearby.
Some significant argument as to how to do this move arose during my last session. Anybody got any thoughts?
