New page! Rath stuggles with the implications of this ability but then decides that that should be a problem for future Rath to worry about.

Capture cards are normally set to release their prisoner one year after capture as a failsafe (in case the bearer dies or what have you) but it’s possible to make the time longer or shorter. Shorter would be more usual. Opponents would usually be released from their card with some powerful geas on them to discourage them from further acts of wickedness or to complete a punishment deemed fit by the god or practitioner of the merciful hand fighting style.

Since the Tanuki god thrives on embarrassing nudity, such conditions or tasks often have an element of embarrassment to them. For example, perhaps a knight or warlord that terrorised a community might be made to serve as a naked or scantily clad labourer or tavern wench within that community for a period of time until their debt is deemed to have been repaid. Even after this, any attempted acts of unjust violence might result in further punishment or a return to the prison card. Thus while the enemies of the Merciful Hand will not be killed or maimed by their defeat, their ability to do harm to others is seriously cutailed. Merciful, but not foolish.

Sorry for being a bit late. A mixture of things caused it-Though a big part of that was a 1.5 day D&D session-Which I suppose could be seen as research ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m currently running a wizard (1 level of artificer for medium armour and shield prof, 3 levels of wizard) and running a game. Not my best work as time is tight and it’s really just a filler game between proper campaigns (I don’t usually DM) but it’s three sessions in now, so it’s going okay ๐Ÿ™‚ I quite enjoy DMing, though finding the time to prepare games is tough.

 

A massive thank you to my Patrons! You guys let me keep doing this and Iโ€™m very grateful for it! If youโ€™d like to have a hand in backing this depravity then please follow the link below and sign up! 😀

Remember-Only YOU can prevent the descent into โ€˜one size fits allโ€™ grey sludge entertainment that everyone can consume but nobody really loves! Fight the power! Defy Disney! Unless the new film they make is good. Then watch it! Some of them are pretty good. Iโ€™m waffling. Iโ€™ll shut up now.

Also-Please comment-I love hearing from my readers 🙂
