Greetings all!
Last night our wizard suffered a magic mishap after casting a clutch spell (Immolate) that turned the tide of combat. The PCs were really having a tough time fighting against a group of Iron Guard soldiers and the battle was very tense. The damage caused by this spell truly saved the day for the PCs, and the fight ended shortly after. (Very fun moment!)
The spell was cast at Power level 3. Mishap was rolled, resulted in #46 which reads, “Your magic permanently alters your appearance. Your GM decides how.”
Our session ended right after combat with plans to pick up right where we left off. No decisions were made regarding what this appearance change would look like. We agreed to cover that at the beginning of the next session.
So… I ask you all for some creative thoughts and ideas! What kinds of things have been fun in your game similar to this? Has this mishap affected one of your players before? If so, how’d it go? Did the spell cast have an impact on the appearance change in some way?
For reference, the sorcerer is a human male (Alderlander), age 30 (adult). Medium to average build (3 Strength and 3 Agility).
Thanks!
