Send Dark Whispers
- GMs can target one or more player characters who have at least 1 Corruption with an offer from the Dark Gods. This supports the game feature described on page 183 of the WFRP 4e rulebook as a means to reduce Corruption points.
- Players can accept or reject the offer from the private chat message they are sent. Corruption is not automatically removed if the player accepts as:
- there may be a significant delay in the narrative before the player is able to meet the conditions.
- the GM rather than the system should make the decision about whether the character has met the terms of the offer.
- Adds a new RollTable with suggestions for Dark Whispers.
- This is used by the Send Dark Whispers macro to prepopulate the dialog box and to give the GM a starting point for inspiration.
- It can be accessed via the RollTable sidebar.
- The legacy WFRP version of the system is still available through the a chat command (
/table darkwhispers) for now.
- Macro returns a dialog box with options to
- select player characters to target
- describe the conditions of the dark whisper (pre=populated with a randomised generic suggestion)
- By default, all characters in the party can be targeted (ie, appear in the list for selection) regardless of whether controlling players are logged in . The macro command accepts the following parameters to filter the target list
-
formDarkWhispers("all");: default option -
formDarkWhispers("absent");: characters who are not currently logged in -
formDarkWhispers("present");: characters who are currently logged in
-
- Only characters that have at least 1 Corruption can be selected, regardless of the macro filter option selected.
- Dark Whispers are posted to the chat log as whispers to the targeted player/character.
- Players can choose to act on or reject the whisper terms directly from the chat log card.
Adds user configuration options to
- set default filter for character list, ie:, all, absent or present.
- choose tone of dark whisper message that appears to players
- taunt: "The Dark Gods can see you are troubled. For a discrete favour they can unburden you of 1 Corruption. {dark whisper message} What harm can it do? Take the offer and step back from the brink of Chaos."
- threat: "Dark Whispers Linger In Your Ears ... Do not in any way reveal that you have received this message. {dark whisper message} If you do as directed, your Corruption total will be reduced by 1."
