I'm running a modified potd campain and i threw this
at my party as a trap/encounter not sure if its what you are looking for,
but here goes. They were crossing the moutains of mist and came across a narrow pass, the sisters they are chasing had their minions (no longer traveling alone) set a avalanche trap. The pcs managed to get across the pass before setting off the trap,when a glint of metal caught their eye. They found a half buried chest untouched by time (no rust, perfectly smooth no visable seems) and had to use the one power to open it. inside they found a few items from the age of legends, power wrought weapons,a ter'angreal bell,a encoded diary written in the old tongue and a small 16 year old blonde girl. When awoken they couldn't understand her (she spoke old tongue)and took her with them. The bell made no noise when rung, only the girl reacted as if she could hear it. She appeared to be a sweet little girl that likes to give out hugs and sleeps by the parties ogeir (hes warm and fluffy) It wasn't until the party was attacked later that night by trollocs and she started killing them bare handed that they began to suspect something was different about her. Delve was cast to see her condition and the weave unraveled upon touching her. what they found out later by deciphering the diary is that she is a gholam suffering from induced amnesia and reprogramming by an age of legends aes sedi that captured her. The book was vague on whether the amnesia/reprogramming was permenent. After learning the old tongue they are still unsure of what to do with her and i try to keep them guessing (i'm so evil). She takes off from time to time (very high move silent rank) and comes back not quite as pale as she was before and covered in blood. The parties Algai'd'siswai followed her and saw her hunting trollocs and feeding upon their blood. I am basing what she will eventually do upon their actions tword her (will she become a friend/ally or kill them in their sleep). By the way, all of this is running in a mirror world(the pcs home world) so no one has script immunity even book characters can die and the dragon could fail anything goes. |

I think it's awesome. A gholam with amnesia? Would you use different stats than the gholam stats presented in the core culebook? If it's some kind of template I'd be very interested! -------------------- This is an old thing, boy. Older than Aes Sedai.

Extrapolating from some DnD monsters and their "base
ability scores" vs. their bonus is used as characters, do this to convert
the Gholam to see what bonuses a character would get. (I would do this
myself and just give you the numbers, but I'm at school and don't have my
WoT book, post the Gholam's ability scores and I'll do the conversion for
you.) Assume that the gholam has a base of 3 - 11s and 3 - 10s. Distribute those where you believe most appropriate. I would put all the 11s on the physical attributes. Whatever he has above or below those numbers is his bonus / penalty to that score. If you make a character gholam you could roll their ability scores and then apply the racial modifier. I took this from comparing a Trolls stats to this racial modifiers. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder
are lost. - Tolkein |

btw, I think that this is absolutely awsome! Great
thinking! And a fun way to play with the WoT universe while still staying
within its natural parimiters to some degree. ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing
