You're Quinner
[pathfinder] thinking about the Curse of Nivi
You're Quinner
from a mechanic added later where you can get blessings and curses from gods based on how much they like or dislike you
You're Quinner
the minor curse for Nivi is the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
You're Quinner
its effect is
You're Quinner
once, at a time decided by the GM
You're Quinner
a natural 20 you roll will be changed to a natural 1
You're Quinner
and I think the power of this curse isn't just the roll changing
You're Quinner
it's knowing you have it
You're Quinner
and knowing the GM has full control over when to use it
You're Quinner
for maximum suffering
Princess Emily
I like how it doesn't specify in battle,
Princess Emily
roll to catch your friend as he falls off a cliff,
Princess Emily
nat 20? well, not any more
You're Quinner
yep
You're Quinner
the book says Nivi prefers to use it for maximum poetic justice
Echo
Oh, that's terrifying.
Cyouni
my favourite one will forever be major Achaekek
You're Quinner
is that the one who comes out of a portal and instantly kills you
Cyouni
yes
You're Quinner
it's very funny to have but I can't imagine any circumstnace where I'd ever use it in a game
Cyouni
oh definitely, it's just hilarious to have written into the lore
