What would you tipically ask from a daemon aligned with nurgle? My character is going to have a pact and a daemonic ritual in a couple levels, and I can't think of what to ask.

Some background, he is an arbitrator, corrupt to the core (we're using the radicals handbook), he is focusing on ranged combat, with shotguns, and interrogation/torturing, he has the justice not law background, and comes from the blighted schola. His parents were killed in a trap raid because of bad intelligence by a bunch of cultists, and his mentor who took care of them and took them to the blighted schola was killed by himself from afar because of a bad intelligence. Currently he has a malignancy where he takes the faces from people he kills, it's a disorder. He skins their faces.

If you need more info just ask! Please help me decide what to ask for him!

Black Crusade has lots of nice material that would be useful for you.

In more general terms, Nurgle generally offers increased toughness, durability and general cussed-stubbornness in the face of "overwhelming odds". It also is fond of granting horrible infirmaties to the faithful and then rendering them at least partially immune (or at least highly resistant) to the pathogens their corrupted bodies now spawn (Like Typhoid Mary carrying and spreading deadly diseases while being immune to it herself.). Unnatural Toughness or a fuckton (metric fuckton?) of bonus Wounds would be potential starting points, as would be Fearless.

Like any dealings with the Ruinous Powers though, the "cookies" of course come with a price that may (or likely not!) be disclosed up front! "Say, how is your mother doing? Miraculous recovery from cancer you say? That is indeed fortunate! Certainly a grateful man such as yourself would not mind doing a simple favour for your mother's saviour? It is nothing to worry about, just deliver this package to the foreman of grain silo 34 at the spaceport once you are finished with today's visit."

Oh I'm well aware of the costs associated with the boons, pacts and rituals. I actually want my character to reach 100 corruption and become a daemon host, and eventually ascend to the dark crusade rulebook, if I understood the rules correctly, that's what's needed to qualify for a dark crusade crossover.

For now though, he's just a secretly nurgle adoring Adeptus Via arbiter, with a daemonic book held in secret, and a terrible urge to skin the faces from the enemies he takes (which will then be sewn together to form a really nasty looking, puss filled, maggot ridden, horrible smelling human face cape, once he "comes out of the nurgle closet").

Hi Mormoran,

"if you do not know what to spend your money on...don´t spend it".

Seriously. DarkPacts are trouble. If their is nothing you/your character is actually yearning for, do not sign a pact.

awwww, but dark pacts are so much fun.... as for the gifts of nurgle being a old hand at the god of decay and rot, as i have run both a death guard army and numerous champions of nurgle, you can get the ability to become immune to disease, and lots of other fun abilities, maybe ask for the vomit ability that the plaugebearers have in the enemies and advesaries section, make your mele weapons toxic, make your shot gun toxic, give yourself blight gernades, make yourself so tough (pact of endurance) that you can live through almost anything..

however with a deamon pact you never know what a Gm will accept so that i ussually keep the language really vauge for example here is what i have asked from each of the god type deamons.. then the Gm can make his own decisions about what that entails.

KHORNE: "grant me the power to slay my enemies 100 times over with but a single blow" or "give me a bloodlust that will never be slated"

NURGLE: "give me the endurance to carry on despite my injuries" or "allow me to carry on the rot of nurgle to my foes"

SLANNESH: who am i kidding i only dealt with slannesh once, but i asked "give me a beauty without equal", that one was super awkward for the girls in the party....

TZEENCH: "grant me a mastery over matter/fire/water/metal ect." or "teach me all you know about X"
