#rule idea

[probablybadrpgideas]

When a player encounters a horror beyond their comprehension, roll 1d6. if the number is even, they gain a phobia. if it's odd, they gain a fetish.

­See you joke but this is very close to an actual rule Call of Cthulhu had at one point.

If any weapon is used to kill enough people in a short enough time, it gains sentience

Yes, that boulder that rolled down a hill crushing a small army, sentient

­The Sea has learnt to Hate

Each damage type has a corresponding healing type that can only be used to restore HP lost from that damage type.

wow yeah this one SUCKS

[probablybadrpgideas]

when a player fails an insight check, instead of giving them no information, or false information, give them information that is true, but absolutely useless, such as "this person seems like if you give them a stack of papers and tell them to take 1 and pass it down, they will likely pass each paper 1 at a time"

­I kind of love this one actually

[probablybadrpgideas]

Don't tell the players the rules.

They have to guess. The game can't start until they reverse-engineer the whole system through sheer luck.

[probablybadrpgideas]

Every time you use a healing potion, make a d100 roll.

On a 1, you develop an allergy to healing potions and die.

Critical 1s and critical 20s are boring and uninspired. No nono no,no.

It will now be Critical 3s and critical 17s.

­critical 3 - you fail but in a funny way

critical 17 - you succeed but in a stupid way
