RE: [DL] chinese mummies
Thanks I really like that idea. My master plan is: I have a player who made
a charector with (loco -5) 12 distinctive personalities. I liked the idea
and was thinking about how to work this into the champain.
My idea is than rather than have 12 personalities he has 12 souls, this was
done my a majical ritual that pulled the souls out of a hunk of ghost rock.
Since he was alive it just made him nuttier than squirrel dookey. However,
if a powerful undead creature could pull souls into the body it would make
them more powerful because the mantitou could keep all the souls in line and
the mummy could use them to power black magic or stuff
