LISTENING to a VANISHED GOD

LISTENING to a VANISHED GOD is a 60 page pdf about exactly that.

Note: this used to be a 24XX game that used Maze Rats magic. There are certain things I wanted to do with it that required hit points, and 24XX doesn't use those. So I switched it over to a much more Maze Rats-based game.

Your reavers live and strive in a fairy-tale land of disrupted power structures. Six generations ago, the four-armed god emperor Mag disappeared, producing tumult among the populace of its eponymous domain. Two kings and a queen are trying to establish supremacy and a rule of law in place of the vanished god's whims.

The kings and queen dislike paladins like your reavers, because they are remnants of the disrupted society, reminders of what many call a golden age in which the vanished Mag roamed the land, settled disputes, enforced hospitality, and ate wrongdoers. Reavers can hear the Voice of Mag, and from its whispers they can bind spells that afflict them or those near them with arcane marks. Reavers are feared and respected.

You determine what purpose your reaver seek and serve with all this unregulated, unsafe power.
