BIG RED BUTTON
Mythos artifact
Fixed to a solid box adorned with cautionary black and yellow stripes, this vibrant, oversized button holds unpredictable potential as it pulses with an otherworldly glow.
Functionality: Once the button is pushed, the Keeper of Arcane Lore rolls a d20 on the unique chart to determine the outcome. These effects occur instantly and cannot be reversed by pressing the button again. The Big Red Button cannot be used again until the next in-game day.
Outcome Table: [d20]
When pressed, roll a D20 and apply the corresponding outcome:
1.) “An eerie silence envelops the area, and a chill runs down your spine. Your hand drops from the button as you feel a surge of cold energy coursing through your veins. Your heart slows, and then stops, your vision darkens, and your body collapses, lifeless.” The user is dead. No mortal or divine intervention can return them from beyond the veil. They are forever lost to the world of the living.
2 .) The user becomes invisible as per the spell Hide of the Deep Ones for the next hour.
3 .) A cloud of poison gas explodes from the button, forcing a CON roll for everyone in a 5-meter radius. On a failed save, lose 1D10 HP and gain the Unconscious status for 1D6 rounds.
4 .) The button emits a brilliant light, blinding all enemies within a 20-meter radius for one round. CON roll to resist.
5 .) An ethereal chain appears, shackling you to your current location for the next hour. STR roll to resist.
6 .) A rush of energy fills you, granting a bonus die on the next three skill checks.
7 .) The button becomes incredibly heavy, reducing your Move rate by half until your next rest.
8 .) The button releases a cloud of mist, providing full cover for the next hour.
9 .) A high-pitched shriek emits from the button, deafening everyone within a 10-meter radius for one round. CON roll to resist.
10 .) A pleasant melody fills the air, restoring 1D10 Sanity points to everyone within a 10-meter radius.
11 .) A wave of force pushes you and all allies within 3 meters back by 6 meters.
12 .) A spectral shield surrounds you, adding +2 to your dodge rolls for the next hour.
13 .) The user loses the ability to speak any languages for the next hour.
14 .) An ethereal weapon appears in your hand, granting you a bonus die on your attack and damage rolls for the next hour using any weapon you use.
15 .) The button shoots out a spark of electricity, dealing 1D10 HP damage to the user.
16 .) A sudden pulse of energy clears away all difficult terrain in a 20-meter radius.
17 .) The user becomes visible to all creatures, regardless of barriers or invisibility, for the next hour.
18 .) A wisp of smoke forms into a loyal phantom steed that lasts until the next rest.
19 .) The button releases a swarm of wasps, dealing 1D3 HP damage to everyone within a 3-meter radius.
20 .) Instantly destroy target item, creature, or structure of user’s choice permanently. User must determine the target now or Keeper of Arcane Lore selects the target. “The target, be it creature, item, or structure, is irreversibly eradicated. Not even the Old Ones can undo this reality-shattering eradication initiated by the Big Red Button.”
