Mythic Mini: Mythic Curses
All right, you know the deal – 3 pages – 1 page front cover, 1 page SRD, 1 page content, let’s go!
First of all – these curses can be inflicted by mythic bestow curse or mythic major curse (in the case of major curses and spellblights) and cannot be removed via anything other than a wish or miracle (or limited wish for non-major curses/spellblights) -got that? So let’s take a look!
-Anoris Curse: Knit the mouth of the creature together! Ouch! Better yet, from feeding tubes to Glasgow-smile solutions, temporarily granting respite is covered…but beware, the curse reasserts itself…Cool!
-Cruciatic Sympathy: Target suffers from nonlethal damage when attacking other creatures as well as from negative conditions due to pain. This sympathy also extends to fear and pain-effects – great roleplaying tool to punish bloodthirsty characters or NPCs!
-Polypollex Curse: All fingers become thumbs. This not only looks disturbing, it also cripples manual dexterity andmakes holding on to objects VERY hard. Two thumbs up!
-Regressive Rejuvenation: Lesser age resistance, but sans keeping the bonuses, up to gaining the young simple template. Breaking this curse can have pretty fatal consequences, too – OUCH!
-Skinscription (found on the SRD-page!): Spells prepared (or available) show up as glowing runes on the caster, glowing whenever the caster casts a spell, clearly pointing towards him and making identification of the spells easy. Mythic spells daylight and faerie fire the caster – nasty when subtlety is required and even worse when there’s a lynchmob around the corner…
-Sectum Sanguinum: Like skinscription on speed, this one causes the wearer to BLEED, not interfering with the casting of the spell, but then counting as ongoing damage. Very nasty and iconic!
Conclusion:
Editing and formatting are very good, I noticed no significant glitches. Layout adheres to Legendary Games’ 2-column full color standard and the pdf has no bookmarks, but needs none at this length.
Jason Nelson’s mythic curses rock big time – all killer, no filler curses to put the fear of them back into the players – I LOVED this mythic mini and sincerely hope we’ll see more curses and hazards of this quality. Final verdict? 5 stars + seal of approval, given without even a fraction of a doubt!
You can get this awesome mythic mini, not only useful for mythic games, here on OBS and here on d20pfsrd.com’s shop!
