Failed Luck Check

Table 1-2: Failed Luck Check

d10Resurrection Side Effect 1Spiritual Hitchhiker. The creature returns, but another soul has stowed away within his body. This other soul is evil and seeks to pursue a malicious purpose now that it’s returned to the physical world. The second soul can take control of the creature’s body for short periods of time. This effect is identical to a spellcheck result of 24-26 of the transference spell (DCC RPG, p. 232). Treat the stowaway soul as if CL 6 for the purpose of duration and the DC for Will saves is 20. 2Altered Species. The creature returns in a body not his own. He might return as an elf, dwarf, or halfling if formerly human, or even as a serpent-man, orc, man-bat, or other humanoid creature of roughly man-size. The exact body type and any advantages or disadvantages of that shape are left to the judge to determine. 3Forever Changed. The creature is restored to life, but changed physically in a horrible manner. The judge rolls or chooses an appropriate physical appearance from Table 9-5: Physical Appearance of Un-Dead (DCC RPG, p. 381). The creature suffers a loss of 1d4+1 Personality points as a result. 4Path of Darkness. The creature is restored to life, but his alignment takes a dark turn. Lawful creatures are now neutral, while neutral creatures become chaotic. If the creature was already chaotic, he suffers no side effect. 5Touch of the Grave. Although technically alive, the creature bears some taint of undeath. He is affected by clerical turning (if the priest affects un-dead), suffers damage from holy water, and may not be able to enter sanctified spaces at the judge’s discretion. 6-10No additional side effects.
