slaine fire worship

[toothill man]

The veneration of fire was important to the celts.Bonfires were lit both at the festival of Beltane on may 1 and the festival of samhain on 1 November.The celts may have thought of fire as the earthly element that corresponds to the sun in the sky.Wheel-rolling also played a part in the celtic fire rituals,the wheels being set ablaze and rolled downhill.Another reported celtic fire ritual suggests that the celts went in for human sacrifice.Images in the human shape and made of wicker were filled with sacrifical animals and people and set alight

I guess this is the part where you put this into your campaign and then play the Journey song to go along with it.....it maybe turning but it is also burning! :lol:

I like this idea.
It makes a nice opening move rather than the charge-in-and-fight-with-the-same-weapon-every-round strategy that happens so often.

What do you think. 1D6 crushing damage + 1D8 fire damage. Reflex save for half?
