High Fantasy

Entangled Souls

Njord

Consciousness may be shared or preserved: Integration is permanent; death is optional.

Author's Note: Step into Armiron, where consciousness is currency and your Φ shapes destinies. Ancient forests murmur with sentient thought; city‑minds pulse with shared memory. Will you defend individuality as a Severant or surrender self to the Integrated? Every ritual, every alliance tests the price of unity—and the meaning of free will. MAJOR FACTIONS • Severants (preserve selfhood; mnemonic rituals) • Integrated (shared minds; empathy at cost of freedom) • Liminal Court (arbiters of balance; secret agendas) KEY FACTS & FEATURES • 45 distinct locales: from the silent anti‑Φ sanctuaries of the Thoughtless Hall to the humming chaos of the Fracture Docks. • 8 boss encounters: Keeper of the Ash Gate, Decayed Guardian, Harbinger of Doom, and more. • Φ mechanics: measure or manipulate Φ to merge minds, erase pain, amplify collective power—or defend against forced integration. • Moral axis: isolation vs unity, with complex shades in between. PLAYSTYLE OPTIONS • Intrigue & Investigation: infiltrate the Red Ledger House, decode inverted sigils, unearth Court plots. • Exploration & Survival: brave the Ash Gate’s realm of regret; gather ancient stones, wind‑whispers, sky‑tears. • Combat & Ritual: wield Φ‑imbued blades, duel Decayed Guardians, perform healing or shattering rites. • Roleplay & Philosophy: debate free will vs determinism, parley with a god‑mind, decide who controls consciousness. GM TIP Start with Generate Areas and Generate Points of Interest switched off to ensure the campaign doesn't drift off into generic fantasy story-telling that doesn't relate to free will and consciousness.

Actions

Etherealness

The ghost enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. It is visible on the Material Plane while it is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet it can't affect or be affected by anything on the other plane.

Horrifying Visage

Each non-undead creature within 60 ft. of the ghost that can see it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target also ages 1d4 × 10 years. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the frightened condition on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this ghost's Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours. The aging effect can be reversed with a greater restoration spell, but only within 24 hours of it occurring.

Possession

One humanoid that the ghost can see within 5 ft. of it must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by the ghost; the ghost then disappears, and the target is incapacitated and loses control of its body. The ghost now controls the body but doesn't deprive the target of awareness. The ghost can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, except ones that turn undead, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and immunity to being charmed and frightened. It otherwise uses the possessed target's statistics, but doesn't gain access to the target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies. The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, the ghost ends it as a bonus action, or the ghost is turned or forced out by an effect like the dispel evil and good spell. When the possession ends, the ghost reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 ft. of the body. The target is immune to this ghost's Possession for 24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends.

Withering Touch

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (4d6 + 3) necrotic damage.
