1d20 Random Powers Of The Blood Basin Of R'othazortul

File:Yoke skulls Collection Henry Law 42.jpg

 The Blood Basin of R'othazortul travels throughout time and space. The object is of unknown origin but travels the planes of existence for good or ill. The thing will bestow a random ability if it is offered fresh flesh and blood. The thing exists with a very malignant intelligence and its cranky as well. Should it be offered a few drops of the user's blood the effects will last 1d4 hours. A pint might be a week or more. A pound of flesh and the hellish thing might make the power permanent.

 Then again there is a 60% chance that the artifact may not be in the mood. It confers its moods telepathically to those around it. The eyes glow with a bale fire greenish glow when it accepts a sacrifice.  Those who displease the artifact will receive a gout of yellow golden fire of the lowest hells that does 1d4 points of damage per round. The fires will slowly inch by inch cook the flesh from the bones of those it hits. The burns may only be healed by magic or psychic means.

  20. The user becomes a vessel for a higher purpose determined by the DM. This isn't the character though but a mirror image come to life that will do good in the characters name. Those whom he helps will seek the character out to do even greater deeds.
    Once the vessel is done it will randomly depart for another dimensional location and continue its choatic and disturbing mission of spreading grief and misery. This is an artifact with all of the minor powers and such as per Osric or The AD&D first edition  Dungeon Master's  guide.
