545-456 Death
Use Only if Directed here by another Table
Occasionally a character or an important person in the character's life will cause the death of another person, or a person important to the character will have a timely death. However, this does not necessarily mean that the victim was murdered.
Instructions: When the table called for, roll a d20 to determine Cause of Death. Then roll a D10 to determine responsibility. On a result of 10 the character is at fault in with the death in some unfavorable manner. The use of the term, "Someone" in the description refers to the causer of the death, where it the character or some other person.
Roleplay: Responsibility for a death and the guilt associated with it can haunt a character forever, changing attitudes about death and relationships. Even if wrongly accused of causing a death, the character can spend the rest of his or her life proving it otherwise-and still not succeed.
545 Cause of Death.
A parent's death (or that of a person who has raised the character) can have drastic effects on a character's life. There is grief at losing a loved-one, the possibility of receiving an inheritance, the chance that a surviving parent may remarry, and even stranger things. Instructions: First, if a character has two living parents or guardian determine which parent, mother or father died. Roll Hi-Low. (HI=Father Low=Mother). Next, roll a d8 on table 546A to determine the character's inheritance, if any then roll on D20 on subtable 546B Other Events to selected a significant event surrounding the death of a parent or guardian. Follow directions given wit the selected table entries, returning there until all rolls on the table are complete. Note: If a spouse survives, assume that he or she remains in possession of any property and most money. Roleplay: How does the character feel about losing a parent? How would you feel if (or when) it happened to you? Would the value of an inheritance in any way compensate for the loss?
