[Rq-rules] Humakti Death Drive

[Bjorn Stolen]

I agree with all the previous repliers, this is a trixter-mentality, and the 
priest could have a thruth-spell baked into the gift-gease ceremony at a 
temple, to ransac the true intentions of the Humakti.

In my games, a player (if he's young; 15 + 2d6 years), is only allowed one 
gift and one gease at the start of the game (both Yelmalans and Humakti). I 
like the Lord of the rings-approach where the characters start of as 
ordinary characters. If you play Hero Quest, the setting is a little 
more...heroic, and you might suggest to this munchkin-player of yours that 
he either make a trixter-character or save this "consept" to another day.
