Appendix 3:
Random Magical Effects
Under certain conditions, random magical effects are possible. Sometimes these effects are the
result of obscure or powerful magical items; sometimes they result from an incorrect chant, ingredient, or
ritual; sometimes they are actively sought by experimental casters.
Regarding the table below, ‘caster’ refers to either the caster of a spell, trigger of an effect, or if
not applicable, to the original source such as with a magical item. To determine a random magical effect,
roll 1d1000 and roll another 1d10 to see if it was the (1-5) first or (6-10) second thousand, and consult the
table below 1 :
0002. Caster’s skin hardens and looks like tree bark. Caster gains a permanent + 1d10 bonus to CA.
0003. Caster immediately tries to rape the target creature for 1d20 rounds and has amnesia about it.
0004. Caster’s eyes turn jet black with animate lightning images. Permanent immunity to lightning.
0005. Caster grows an extra fully functioning eye on a random body part.
0006. Caster’s bones become brittle. Take 1.5x damage from pounding weapons from now on.
0007. Caster immediately gains Weapon Master skill of the next weapon with which they are struck.
0008. Caster gives birth to a clone through their manhood/vagina. The new clone is 1d6 levels higher.
0009. Caster permanently loses 1 casting level.
0010. Every time the caster casts a spell from now on, chunky defecation squirts down their leg.
0011. Random magical item, already identified, appears in caster’s hands.
0012. Caster grows 2 12-inch horns from each hand, sprouting out as daggers -- 2d6 stabbing dmg.
0013. Caster gains an attack bonus of 1d6 per level.
0014. Target falls deeply and permanently in love with caster.
0015. Target becomes a loyal henchman of a random party member.
0016. The next successful hit in a battle causes 2d100 damage + all modifiers, if any.
0017. Caster gains the body, CA, and Sprint of a random monster from Neveria.
0018. Caster’s body gives off a blinding-white aura whenever enemies attempt to surprise attack.

1. This method creates a random distribution from 1-2000 that is random in the sense that each number has the same
probability, whereas the simpler 2d1000 produces a distribution in which each number does not have the same probability,
such that the probability of 1000 is higher than the probability of 2000.
