Jagermeister 03-19-05, 08:37 AM	Good work Isran. I haven't had time to go through yet and check to see if you've left any out. There are a couple of spelling errors in the links you've posted, but hey I'm done being the "spelling police", heh ;) . Thanks for compiling this. Should be helpful to the community. Maybe this should get a sticky?

Isran_Imrador 03-20-05, 03:20 AM	Mark of Death Questions (FAQ) (part 1) The lost mark of the elfs, only possesed by a Lich called Erandis d`Vol in the far northern end of the Lhazaar. The powers of the mark only she knows, the rest of us how are DMing in this world, can only guess to its power. Some have tryed, (me to) with mixed results. The most popular opinion seems to be the the mark is more powerful then the rest of them. But most of the ones made by us the fan until now have been balanced out agains the other marks. (Q) Is there an official Mark of Death out there? (A) No, But more and more posters, point to the fact that Keith`s opinion on the mark (and in Marked for Death, book) seems to be that it is more powerful than the other marks. :thinks: (Q) I wannna make the Mark of Death, what are its powers? (A) As stated above! Basicly any Necromancer spell could fit....(find inpiration in the ones already made by others) Isran d`Vol ;)

Isran_Imrador 03-24-05, 03:26 PM	By Dr. Benway Least - Rebuke/Command Undead as a Cleric of your character level 1/day, +2 Knowledge History OR Religion...not sure which yet Lesser - Animate Undead 1/day Greater - Create Undead 1/day Siberys - Creater Greater Undead 1/day By Templar Prime Least: Cause Fear Lesser: vampiric touch Greater: circle of death Siberys: wail of the banshee Note I dont know, but i guess this is 1/day...And no skill added. By Mentat55 Least- Deathwatch 1/day, Death Knell 1/day, or Gentle Repose 1/day; I think the +2 bonus on Knowledge (religion) checks is good, also I think someone on the other thread suggested a +2 bonus to Intimidate checks. Lesser- Death Ward 1/day, Speak with Dead 1/day, Enervation 1/day. Greater- Raise Dead 1/day, Slay Living 1/day, Control Undead 1/day Siberys- Power Word, Kill 1/day Note: The Lesser seems to miss some or`s? (or is that just me?) The Greater to.... By green yawgmoth Least: Ray of Enfeeblement Lesser: Vampiric Touch Greater: Enervation/Contagion Siberys: Gutwrench (Or FoD if you're without a BoVD ) Note: No skills, or how many time per day...(?) By Levler Least: Detect Undead 2/day; or Gentle Repose 1/day. And I think the +2 to Religion seems to fit pretty well. Lesser: Speak with Dead 1/day; or Command Undead 1/day Greater: Animate dead 1/day; or Undeath to Death 1/day Siberys: Clone 1/day By feartheinvinceblehamster Least: disrupt undead 2/day Lesser: finger of death 1/2 days Greater: withering decay 1/ day Siberys: wail of the banshee 1/day Note: No Skills... By Takasi Least Mark of Death: Inflict Light Wounds 1/day or Chill Touch 1/day; +2 bonus on Intimidate Checks Lesser Mark of Death: Inflict Serious Wounds 1/day, Poison 1/day, Contagion 1/day or Enervation 1/day Greater Mark of Death: Harm 1/day Siberys Mark of Death: Wail of the Banshee 1/day By Galen_Michael Least Mark of Death: death knell 1/day, death touch* 1/day, or death watch 1/day; +2 bonus on Intimidate checks Lesser Mark of Death: death ward 1/day or speak with the dead 1/day Greater Mark of Death: slay living 1/day or circle of death 1/day Siberys Mark of Death: power word kill 1/day *As the granted power of the death domain. Destruction, wail of the banshee or finger of death would also make for a good siberys mark... By Boin If you think about trade relating to death the first thing you should think of is funeral/mourge business. Using that as a building block: Least Mark: Gentle Repose (Preserve the corpse for the funeral) Lesser Mark: Speak With Dead (find the cause of death) Greater Mark: Magic Jar (or something using the ability to commune with a dying body unable to speak its last words) Siberys Mark: Clone (Giving is possesor or anyone else willing to pay the fee mastery over death) By Ectoplasmoid Least mark- Control Undead 1/day or Disrupt undead 4(3?)/day? Benefit: +2 on spell save DC's v. undead Lesser Mark: Speak w/Dead 1/day Greater Mark: Animate dead 1/day Siberys mark: Create undead 1/day By Save_vs_DM Here's what I'd go with myself ( this is quite fun) Mark of Death Granter Power: +2 bonus on Knowledge (Religion) checks. Least Mark: Detect Undead 1/day, Deathwatch 1/day, or Speak with Dead 1/day Lesser Mark: Gentle Repose 1/day, or Animate Dead 1/day Greater Mark: Symbol of Fear 1/day Siberys: Symbol of Death 1/day I think that House of Death would have done 2-3 things. 1. Worked as a sort of funeral service for the world. Preserving loved ones, gratning closure with Speak with Dead. 2. Provide a cheap and usable resource using Animate Dead. But I primarily see them being used as Mosoleum guards. Think of it: they can guard a tomb for eternity, to give your loved ones peace. 3. Graveyard/Masoleum protection. Using Symbol fo Fear and Symbol of Death they could easily protect a tomb from invasion. This is just my opinions, mind you. Think what you will. Cheers, Save vs DM By Isran_Imrador (i have 3 marks i think, redesigning them...adding later) Here are the old ones for now... MoD I Least: Animate dead or R of Enf and Deathward. pluss 2 intimidate Lesser: Speak with dead and Gentle Repose or Create Undead Greater: S of Death 0r Slay liv or magic Jar or Clone(1/Month) Siberys: Soul Bind 0r Wail of the Banshee or Clone Mark of Death 2 Least: Detect Undead 1\day and Gentle Repose or Command Undead or Desecrate 1\ day. And +2 Bluff Lesser: Speak with Dead or Animate Dead 1\day Greater: Ceate Undead or Control Undead 1\day Siberys: C Gre. Undead or Soul Bind 1\day -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont think they should make anything official either becouse writing up the mark soo it fits in you own campaign is more important. Half the fun it to find out what to put inn it! On this bord there have been many different ones... Mark of Death (Cool) Khybers Marks of Death: +8 Intimidate and +2 Bluff Least K.M.o.Death Animate Dead 3\day and Enervation or Contagion 1\day or Blight or Magic Jar 1\day. (if the one of the two last, pick one of the other 1\day (Animated dead, Enervation or Contagion) Lesser K.M.o.Death XXXXX Create Undead or Control Undead 2\day C Gre. Undead or Soul Bind 1\day, Hmm OK spells that would fit vols profile in a Least or Greater Khyber mark of death: Finger of Death Clone Horrid Wilting Symbol of Death Temporal Stasis Energy Drain Soul Bind Astral Projection Wail of the Banshee (any necromacy spell..) as for a Khyber-Siberys mark of uber power maybe something epic fun.... But has far as PC go i dont know if i want a player with this stuff....Or....? Isran d`Vol
Isran_Imrador 03-25-05, 05:53 AM	Here i a good question: To anyone that have read Jode`s story, Maybe a Khyber shard can bee used to steal Erandis mark and transfer it to another elf, thus making it possible for the House of vol to reapere.... Or what do you say?
Isran_Imrador 03-26-05, 02:39 PM	By KP91 The Blood of Vol church is based on undead so why not the mark. Least:Flase Life 1/day, Inflict Light Wounds 1/day and +5 to Know(religion) Lesser:Vampiric Touch 1/day, Animate Dead 1/day, Inflict Serious Wounds 1/day Greater: Finger of Death 1/day, Create Dead 1/day, Mass Inflict Light Wounds 1/day Syberys: Create Greater Undead 1/day or Symbol of Death 1/day By Jontg A civilization sundered itself to destroy it... A lich devoted her entire existance to resurrect it... And now, after millenia of latency within the elven race, it has awakened. NOTE: DMs should use this mark only after careful consideration. A character who openly bears the long-lost Mark of Death is the Eberroni equivalent of a guy running though Thaymount with Szass Tam's underwear on a pole. Mark of Death [dragonmark] The Mark of Death was the trademark of House Vol, an elven noble clan that was wiped out thousands of years ago. The ancient lich who still carries the family's name spends her days manipulating bloodlines, arranging "chance meetings" between distant descendants of her shattered house in an attempt to breed the Mark of Death back into existance. Least Mark: touch of fatigue 2/day, chill touch 1/day, or inflict light wounds 1/day; +2 bonus on Intimidate checks. Lesser Mark: inflict moderate wounds 2/day, animate dead 1/day, or vampiric touch 1/day. Greater Mark: enervation 2/day or slay living 1/day. Siberys Mark: wail of the banshee 1/day. By patsmily Yet another take on the Mark of Death. First thing to understand is that the Mark of Death is neither good nor evil it just is what it is. That being said the Mark of Death is but an extension of the bearer of the Mark. Least Mark of Death: Inflict Light Wounds 1/day or Disrupt Undead 1/day; +2 bonus on Knowledge Religion. Lesser Mark of Death: Inflict Serious Wounds 1/day or Gentle Repose 1/day. Greater Mark of Death: Harm 1/day or Undeath to Death 1/day Siberys Mark of Death:Soul Bind 1/day or True Resurrection 1/day

ChronosCrow 12-08-05, 09:46 PM	:bump: Seeing that a few Mark of Death threads are on again i am bumping this one up again.. You're "Khyber Mark of Death" idea has rather inspired me. This is just now and I haven't checked it out, but I've made these connections: 1. From heavy hinting from Keith Baker (a few in email, not on the boards) I've realized that all of the marks relate to their creator in a very deep sense. Certain marks to their respective Dragon for very specific reasons. I'm sure there is rumor as to what that is. 2. Aberrant Mark has no set standard for what goes to what house. I doubt my idea here is new either: That the list of marks listed for the Aberrant Mark are what would be "Khyber Marks" for the bloodlines in the houses. Example: "detect secret doors" would be the khyber mark for the Mark of Finding. 3. From the Aberrant list I see "cause fear" which is a 1st lvl necromancy spell. This spell is most likely a remnant of the mark of death and most probably on the mark of death list in the "least" section.
ChronosCrow 12-08-05, 09:55 PM	Here i a good question: To anyone that have read Jode`s story, Maybe a Khyber shard can bee used to steal Erandis mark and transfer it to another elf, thus making it possible for the House of vol to reapere.... Or what do you say? I since it was possible to be done then that sounds like a pheasable thing to do with this ability really. That is to say IF the mark that was stolen from Jode went to a person that was halfling or not. Then again, the dragonmarks are also supposedly fundamentally linked to DNA and I don't see a Khyber shard changing that. Just a one time vessel for a one time occruance.
Isran_Imrador 12-13-05, 05:34 PM	1. From heavy hinting from Keith Baker (a few in email, not on the boards) I've realized that all of the marks relate to their creator in a very deep sense.

Then again, the dragonmarks are also supposedly fundamentally linked to DNA and I don't see a Khyber shard changing that. Just a one time vessel for a one time occruance. Dragonmarkes are tied to the persons soul. We dont know what will happen to Jode jet...but it seemed from the book that they transfered other supernatural abilities from on to another...So if an elf consummed a vial with Erandis Soul in it, he or she could be a new living scion of "House Vol". The fun part is that she is a lich so he could find her soul anywhere...(almost ;) ) Dragonmark ties list...(what did i miss) Dragonmark-Plane-Moon-Deity-Dragon-Aberrant Mark-Month-Nation 2. Aberrant Mark has no set standard for what goes to what house. I doubt my idea here is new either: That the list of marks listed for the Aberrant Mark are what would be "Khyber Marks" for the bloodlines in the houses.

From the Aberrant list I see "cause fear" which is a 1st lvl necromancy spell. This spell is most likely a remnant of the mark of death and most probably on the mark of death list in the "least" section. Hmm yeah maybe your right then agin none of the other marks have a ablilty from the AM list... Or the Khyber mark list.... :)

Needed to put her together for an expedition into the ancestral home of House Vol that my players will be taking today. Someone is using the depths of her home for some unfortunate rituals and if the PCs are diplomatic enough, they will likely be teaming up with Erandis to ensure that the ritual fails.
Rekko 03-18-07, 04:21 PM	For those advocating Inflict Light Wounds, etc. the Mark of Death isn't the place for it. I can say this with a good amount of confidence. How? Because Inflict Light Wounds is an Aberrant Dragonmark ability. The Mark of Death wasn't an aberrant mark; it would be extremely odd for a regular mark to share powers with an aberrant mark. This is an interesting story. The Mark of Death having similarities with Aberrant Dragonmarks. Aberrant Dragonmarks aren't the mixing of dragonmarked character's blood? An elf possessing an Aberrant Mark similar to the Mark of Death would most likely catch Erandis' high interest. Maybe the Aberrant Mark bearer is a distant relative of Vol? ------------------------------------ As for my personal opinion on the Mark of Death, I prefer the mark as being used for funeral services, death prevention powers and resurrection ability. Also, I would see House Vol as marginal elves who are breaking a few customs by working with undeads instead of deathless. However, this doesn't mean that the mark needs to include animate dead or create undead, but it means House Vol's spellcasters would use them. Here are a few spells that I see could fit the Mark of Death and/or fit the House Vol’s spellcasters. I also wrote how they could use it. Animate dead (lvl 3-4): create skeletons and zombies for different tasks calm emotions (lvl 2): calms ‘extreme’ emotions at funeral Clone (lvl 8): Life insurance, prevents death in some way. Death Knell (lvl 2): slay agonizing people. Death ward (lvl 4-5): protects from death effects Deathwatch (lvl 1): determine living conditions Finger of death (lvl 7-8): slay living Flesh to stone/Stone to flesh (lvl 6): create statues and tombs at the image of the deceased . Gentle repose (lvl 2-3): prevents rotting, preserves corpse Inflicts: slay agonizing or living people and heals undead. Legend lore (lvl 6-7): pronounce the deeds of deceased at funeral Mending (lvl 0): repair deceased clothing Raise dead (lvl 5): Give out life insurance “we raise you the day next of your death” Resurrection (lvl 7): Life insurance “please preserve by body and raise me in a year” Soul Bind (lvl 9): Preserve souls to prevent resurrection or until the date of a planned True Resurrection. Speak with Dead (lvl 3): ask dead last will, what’s the true cause of their death. Spectral hand (lvl 2): delivers range touch spells (used on battlefields) Temporal stasis (lvl 8): corpse preservation (for clone, or other) True Resurrection (lvl 9): Life insurance “raise me in 50 years” Wish (lvl 9): ouch, too many possibilities (for example, “I wish that my daughter Erandis becomes a lich to survive this extermination”) (Magic jar lvl5) : interesting spell, but I don’t see it’s utility into the house, for now. The Least Mark of Death could give +2 to knowledge (religion), or profession(funeral rites), or perform(oratory), or even craft(coffin)

Balthanon 10-02-07, 09:32 AM	By the way did you see the mineature they made of Vol? anyway she has wing in that version... Isran That could be done with the Dragon Wings feat. Or simply DM fiat, which is probably the easier thing to do.
