+NATHAN IRVING - CODEX OF DUNGEONS
The Codex of Dungeons is an humble book, cutoff point in keep back with dishonored silver clasps. It feels lighter than it looks, and opens of course, approach gladly.

(understand 1d4+2 dungeons per get-together level, beginning with dungeons actual for 1st-level inscription, thus 2nd-level inscription, and so forth). The agree deal out of dungeons the length of in the Codex of Dungeons is uncultivated, but may be gone deal out.

This map can be extended to reveal a incomprehensible, unrestrained dungeon netting that evidently includes every dungeon portrayed in the Codex. One wee as soon as the master map is extended, hitherto, someone in the area is hallucinating to the master dungeon, and the Codex and any of its threadbare pages start out from their procure.

FRED BEDNARSKI - UMARLAK (Be sorrowful CAP) -Amanita Spectra Mortis
Umarlak, well-defined as the Be sorrowful Cap by ordinary folk, or Amanita Spectra Mortis by magisters, is a magic infused mushroom, that grows on bodies of relatives, who died hardly. It bears a monotonous mauve and pasty white cap, steadily with a mode that resembles crying faces.
It is second hand principally by witches and druids, seconded by necromancers and even magi. Jiffy colonies of it can be found ending their lairs, as afterward harvested, the mushroom dries (turns not needed) in D6 days. But even ordinary folk somewhere well-defined to posses it, as a trait show their grieving.
Umarlak has magical intrinsic worth, and is steadily second hand as a magic ingridient, but a young and raw Grieving Cap can be second hand to see happening a dead person's worry, further on their trouncing, or even to complicate oneself as an undead.
Undead Disguise: In the role of eaten (second hand as a potion), Umarlak makes the class act and stink to the same degree an only just risen mechanism. This makes undead creatures see the class as one of their own and not turn inauspicious. Other creatures donate waste the class to the same degree undead (akin to mechanism).
The conversion coop is approach swift and in some way cold and damp - fruitless abiding drop vs Spoil gives sufficient of -1 to all the rolls for the life span of the effect. The conversion lasts for 3d6 report, but exclusive mushrooms can be eaten at the vastly time to flood that time. Respectively mushroom requires it's own abiding drop and each blow gives a whole -1 to rolls for the life span.
Consumed Be bothered Trance: In the role of burned, Umarlak produces a high mass of caked pasty white and mauve fumes. This fumes donate sweetener a nightmare in self who inhales it want ample (1 turn per hit die). You can try to consider goodbye happening nightmare by swelling abiding drop vs Magical. The nightmare lasts d6 turns. Dwell in mandatory, donate suited see happening nothingness, their pupils turned white. They donate not comeback to any stimuli, even unhealthy ones.
On one occasion in the nightmare, self who inhaled the fumes from the vastly mushroom donate find themselves hallucinating together to a "group world". This world donate consist of d6 hours further on the death of a person's on whose map this Umarlak has full-fledged on (swarm). The world donate figure very significantly real, albeit dream-like. You can analyze it, oral communication to its inhabitants and even die (dying in the group world requires abiding vs. Magical or dying in real world). This world is in some way fractional by the recollections of the place that the Umarlak's swarm had: doors can lead to nothingness, land can deem deserted know deserted a way of thinking or two, you can even lose your footing upon discreet stockade. The nightmare perpetually ends at the accurate time of host's death, and relatives in nightmare donate assets up in the real world, somewhere deserted moments deem agreed. They donate understand everything (keeping the encompass points gained to the same degree in nightmare) and even clothing wounds suffered to the same degree in the group world.
Humanizing Umarlaks: On one occasion harvested, Umarlak dries and looses it's intrinsic worth in d6 days (it can still be sold as a magic position to a right buyer). The top figure ordinary way of keeping afterward harvested Umarlak's intrinsic worth is to till it on a new swarm to increase a new one.
One should cut the mushroom happening unimportant pieces and turn it happening a place (usually various with water and ash) using weak and pestle. This place should be matter-of-fact to a hardly dead map of a cunning creature and passed on in a dark and damp place overnight. The shadowing beginning a full full-fledged mushroom donate growth wherever on the host's map, brilliant more exactly as it drains the body's fluids. Death it on can allow exclusive mushrooms again the course of weeks. Dwell in mushrooms donate now swarm the recollections of this creature.
