Bringing back the Avatars are not random – your crawlers will gain these links through their deeds and soul bonds to through your goddess patrons!
Rules for the Summoning of Avatars
- Spirit Check is rolled – Current Spirit Bonus (Personality Bonus) + Spirit Burn (As Spellburn – Minimum 1!), for a DC 13 Spirit Check, or a $5 donation will bring the champion into being automatically (Spellburn still required without Bond Avatar donation).
- Ending the Spiral – You may donate to bond the avatar’s soul with your current character. (See Bond Avatar donation) Your current character no longer needs to Spirit Burn to summon their avatar. (But you may for the bonus!) Your character gains a +1d3 Spirit Check bonus + Personality Bonus for calling your Avatar.
- Length of Avatar Possession – The spirit of the conquered hero will overtake your mortal vessel! The hero will manifest with all the skills and items they possessed at the time of their death. An Avatar revived by Spirit Check has a possession duration of 2 + 1d4 rounds, however if you donated $5 to bring the Avatar into being, you hold the champion for 6 rounds!
- Maintaining Avatar Possession – After the Avatar’s time has ended, roll Spirit Check (with the same requirements) with an additional +1 to the DC per additional round the Avatar has been extended. A failed check breaks the connection unless a donation is given.
- Maintain the Avatar Possession Through Donation – You may give to the cause to keep up the fight! The donation schedule is as follows
- 1st round – $1 donation
- 2nd round – $2 donation
- 3rd round – $4 donation
- 4th round – $8 donation
- etc
- Hero Renewed! – The Avatars return in their restored form when they are re-summoned, however, when they return to their domain, you must wait a round to bring the Avatar back.
- Judge Meddling! – A donation of $5 from a Judge or other participant will give a -2 penalty to the Spirit Roll! An equal donation will negate this penalty!
- Avatars Remain – To maintain the momentum of the game, found Avatars remain with the party that recovered them should a controlling player need to leave.
