Leave it the fuck alone. Who needs books?

>>51959995
Take turns getting a bookjob.

There is a reason why the first page is white.

>>51959995
take it to a sage for identification.

>>51959995
Well I'm a paladin so......
>detect evil in search of corruption
>yep, it's evil
>Divine smite the book
>And now who knows what will happen BECAUSE NO CONTEXT HAS BEEN PROVIDED

>>51960053
It's identified as the artifact level item [Prelati's spellbook] It can be used to summons hoard of aquatic en mass or a giant one that size of a twnty story building that regenerates. It can heal from damage as shown in the show. Also its cover is made of human skin.

>>51960081
So..........it's corrupted then?
Cause ain't no way the book is innocent if it's made out of human skin
Looks like I made the right call divine smiting it

>>51960107
Yeah but as I said, it regenerates rather quickly.

>>51960161
Not if there's nothing left to regenerate from!
SECONDARY WARHAMMER HEAVE AND SMASH!
also I set it on fire

>>51960081
so how did they mold the face on it? ist here an actual skull under the skin or did they use some kind of sculpture? some sort of head-shrinking heat treatment like jivaro trophies?

>>51960050
NO! Use a carrot first, or a stick, or something else, to check if it bites or has a sphere of annihilation in the mouth or some other sort of trap. That's adventuring 101.

THEN take turns getting bookjobs.

>>51960188
also don't forget to place a sock upon the cock, in case that thing has the power to create homunculi or something.

>>51960188
god damn it.
reasonable /d/ has appeared

>>51959995
My party does not find the book because it's not made of gold, nor is it something we can actively kill. Your move DM/OP.

>>51960107
Just beacuse it's cover is made of human skin doesn't necessarily mean it's evil. Just that it was written by an evil mage. Evil mages will put human skin covers in any books they can get their grubby hands on.
Grimoires, magic tomes, unholy books, holy books, cookbooks, fiction books, history books, their diaries, other peoples diaries (without their consent).
No sense of right and wrong, or esthetics.

>>51960188
Just hot glue it until the book accepts its fate.

>>51960255
Well the process of creation (i.e. putting human skin on it) is evil enough for it to be removed. Plus, no chances. I would know for certain a holy book would not have the skin of a sentient on it.
So it's either neutral or evil (better safe than sorry, so divine smite and lots of fire is coming its way)

>>51959995
Just sell is to a wizard organization.

Whats the worst that could happen?

Oh I also forget, it also seems to be magic production plant as well, so you probably could use it to fuel your spells or something.

>>51960303
If the wizard organization was reasonable, nothing would happen. Nothing bad at least.
But judging by OP's direction, the wizard organization will be completely incompetent and now you have a brand-new BBEG fuuuuuu

>>51960292
What if it is a paladin's skin, and that force of personality turned it into an intelligent item? Only giving the knowledge within to those who would use it for good, or to vanquish the one who scribed it?

>>51960205
Or has supernatural STDs. Mummy Rot in the cock is a fate worse than death.

>>51960207
That's just what any experienced /tg/ adventurer eventually becomes. Even the paladins. Especially the paladins. Everything is okay, as long as all involved give consent. I know, I am usually a paladin

>>51960304
Eh, still evil. Go fire, warhammer, and divine smite at the same time.

>>51960320
what if the paladin was skinned alive by an evil wizard to do that though, and the item is inhabited by his personality after going insane during the torturous skin removal process?

a little rot grub hidden inside under the tongue!

>>51960320
>>51960343
In the end, it's fairly well known that skin on book is evil. And probably the paladin was already falling to let himself get in such a position.
After a certain point, it's really more of a mercy.
SO GO FIRE, WARHAMMER, AND DIVINE SMITE

>>51960343
What if the iten is not sentient, or even magical. Just an ordinary cookbook with human skin covers. Not even cannibalistic cookbook, normal everyday cookbook.

What's this, what's this? A tiny little book?
What's this? Let's give it to the cook!
Oh my, the eldritch horrors keep on spawning,
And it never will be dawning, what is this?!

There's a book we shouldn't've opened,
When the cook was making bread,
Now the tentacles are flowing,
And it's filling me with DREEEEEAD!

>>51960363
Ouch!
And that is why the rogue that checks for traps gets the "honor" of getting the first bookjob. To see if he really found all traps.

>>51960388
You, i like you.

>>51960373
the mutter museum in philly has a good collection of those.

>>51960373
That would fuck with a party's heads. They'd probably fixate on how exactly "frying the spinach in gravy" or "a cabbage farce" relates to the BBEG's plan.

One of my characters would be adamant about either destroying it, or turning it over to the church to be destroyed. The other would be making dark deals and trying to get whatever arcane secrets he could out of it.

In either case, it doesn't matter, because my capering idiot party mates are already reading the book/rubbing their crotches on it to see what happens for lulz.

>>51960431
YOU DESCRIBED THE THREAD
NOW LEMME DESTROY THE BOOK

>>51960455
shouldn't we give the skin a proper burial or something at least?

>>51960455
Dubs of divine justice demand it.

>>51960468
Fire *is* a proper burial to the right mindset.

>>51960468
DEATH IS A PROPER BURIAL
CAUSE IT'LL DIE BY FIRE
CREMATION THEY CALL IT
>>51960487
LIKE THE MAN SAID
>>51960472
INDEED IT DOES

NOW SMASH THE BOOK IN FIRE AND HOLY POWER

>>51960430
I actually played with a wizard in an evil campaing who did this. He would skin dead enemies, make covers and rebind random books. Then put those books in other peoples libraries. Threw suspicion on on a lot of people, even got a noble killed once. Never did it on his own books, that's an obvious sign of evil, after all.

Went well my barbarian who collected skulls from dead enemies. Had a magic bag just full of skulls by the end of the campaign. Was fun.

MR.PALADIN WHO NOW HAS A LOCKED CAPS LOCK MUST LEAVE THREAD NOW

PURIFY THE BOOK, OTHER HOLY JUSTICE PEOPLE

PURIFY BY FIRE!!!!

(i might be slightly off the rocker)

>>51960255
That's not a sure thing.
Human skin sucks as a leather, it's thin and shiny, not to mention the gross out factor, but many religions have used it as a material for binding books.
That's just some retarded ritual shit, unless they go out of their way to sacrifice people to harvest their skins... Then that's pretty much evil, cut and dried.

>>51960536
Alright, alright, you did get dubs of justice, the book shall be destroyed.

After everybody has had a turn with the bookjob.

>>51959995
Well seeing as how I'm a cunt I wait until they rest in a relatively dangerous place and then I make it scream, interrupting there rest so they don't heal or gain spells AND attracts a hoard of enemies. Roll initiative and try not to die.

>>51960292

What about a book of a Paladin's life and his wisdom bound in his skin by his request to give the book divine protection or something? Is that evil?

>>51960611
how do you go about making the book scream?

>>51959995
At least one of my party members tries to stick his dick in the mouth of the book. They are not the brightest.

>>51960427
Huh. That IS a real thing. Neato.

>>51960338
>a fate worse than death.
...and then death!

>>51960642
It could be enchanted with a magic mouth spell, or it could be an intelligent item with the ability to communicate.

>>51960611
>>51960747
If ya want to be a real cunt, be a sneaky cunt and provide your own magic mouth set to scream without you being near. Pretend it's the books fault,but also say the book is important to the quest, so the party has to carry it around. Also find a way to sleep enough to regain your own spells.

This, of course assumes you're a wizard or a cleric of a particularly cunty trickster god, because who else would want to be such a cunt?

So is there any book rule 34? I think I have new fetish.

The bright wizard shoots it with fireballs after the Empire soldier dumps his powder horn all over it.

leave it right where the fuck it is, because I have the common sense merit.

we secretly place it in the suspected cult leader and lure the guards into his home.

This way we got a influential PC arrested and executed.

It later turned out he was one of the good guys,only being hostile against us because he was secretly working on destroying the cult.
But our party realized this only weeks later, when the actual baddies could succeed in their plan.

>>51968549
