The latter two can be done with magic, but the former is still pretty attention-grabbing. It’s a very hard Obedience to keep a secret, is what I’m saying, especially since it requires a bathing vessel, a whole lot of water, and some method to chill it. It’s real hard to explain to any do-gooders in your party why you keep needing frostbite healed while in the middle of summer. … Both of which can be cured via magic, but y’know. A looser DM may also allow you to chill (badum-tish) in the water for an hour and consider it said and done… But beware, because you can’t just dunk yourself in ice-cold water over and over again without some longer-reaching side effects, such as frostbite or hypothermia. You can achieve the same result by meditating under the water until you nearly pass out from oxygen deprivation, in that case. Of course, that’s just a mechanical perspective. A stickler DM may demand the water be at -0F or below, which deals nonlethal damage each minute, and may force you to bathe in it longer depending on how much HP you have, meaning this Obedience becomes more difficult as you level up. Icy water is difficult to come by without magic, especially not water cold enough to deal damage to you–note that it says you have to be rendered nearly unconscious by this submersion, implying nonlethal damage must be dealt by the freezing temperatures. Simple doesn’t mean safe or easy, though. Too bad the illustration inside the book is so… eugh.Īnyway, it’s odd to me that the most powerful of all the Horsemen has the simplest of all the Obediences. I greatly prefer the shrouded figure in a nice hat from the Bestiary, but I’ll be damned if the crotchety, coin-covered old man from the cover of the Complete Book of the Damned hasn’t won me over a little. Mimic this progression by immersing yourself or a victim in icy water until nearly unconscious, or by consuming alcohol or drugs that dull memory and mental faculties.īenefit: Gain a +4 profane bonus on saving throws against necromancy and negative energy effects.

Obedience: Meditate upon your infirmities and the slow, inevitable progression of physical and mental decay inherent to the ravages of time. ( and featuring the arm of Dispater, in the upper right!)
