Omeyer, the Weenie Wizard

Inspired by a post on Facebook:

Omeyer, the Weenie Wizard: Init +2; Atk short sword +3 melee (1d6) or magic staff +3 melee (1d4+7) or spell; Crit IV/d12 AC 12; HD 6d6+6 (36 hp); MV 30’; Act 1d20; SP magic staff, magic book, spellcasting (+8 spell checks) , spells: (1st) charm person, detect magic, magic missile, ventriloquism, ward portal,  (2nd) fire resistance, wizard staff, (3rd) breath life, and dispel magic;  SV Fort +3, Ref +1, Will +5; AL N.

Whether Omeyer was once a man whom magical corruption turned into a living hot dog, or he was once a hot dog which had somehow attained life, sentience, and a semi-humanoid form, is no longer known if ever it was. Even Omeyer doesn’t seem to know. All of his spells have manifestations relating to his form when possible. Charm person works through an appetizing aroma, for instance, and magic missile takes the form of mustard streams and sauerkraut.

Omeyer’s magic staff acts as a +1 magical weapon and can emit light in a 20 foot radius at Omeyer’s command. Omeyer gains a +2 bonus when casting dispel magic while wielding the staff, but takes 5d4 damage is the staff is ever destroyed.

Omeyer also owns a magical book which comes from the World of the Red Doors, and was written by the arch-sorcerer and wondrous artist Gokov Udaks. This magic book allows the reader to use three rounds to summon a dog storm with a DC 25 spell check, as outlined below, attempted at the end of the reading. Failure causes the readers 2d6 damage (3d6 on a natural “1”).

Dog Storm: The reader calls down a storm of small astral dogs from the heavens, targeting a point up to 500 feet away and covering a radius of 200 feet. Anything in this radius which is struck by a dog (DC 25 Reflex save to avoid) takes 6d6 damage and must succeed in a Fort save (DC equal to damage taken) or die. Cover grants a +2 to +8 bonus to the Reflex save, depending upon the degree of cover as determined by the judge. Targets with 100% cover are not affected The book’s reader must have line-of-sight to the central point of impact. Once the astral dogs have impacted the ground, their charred and pulverized corpses remain for 1d6 minutes before fading away, although touching them at this point is no different than touching any similar burned and smashed animal remains.

1d7 Encounters with the Weenie Wizard

1.        Omeyer is in a beerhall, trying to drown his sorrows with cheap ale. Inebriated, he has a -4 penalty to all d20 rolls until sober once more. The Weenie Wizard is aware of some nearby treasure he greatly desires, but he is not strong enough to seek it alone…The judge is invited to use this as an adventure hook.

2.        The Weenie Wizard is haggling with an open-air baker, seeking to replace parts of his bun which have gone decidedly moldy.

3.        Hazards of the Road. Omeyer is surrounded by wild dogs which cannot differentiate him from any other sausage. He is grateful for any help.

4.        Omeyer is seeking the lost and fabulous Weinermobile, which is capable of traversing between dimensions. If the PCs aid him, he offers them one ride into a strange new world and back (allowing the judge to run a Mutant Crawl Classics, Umerica, Weird Frontiers, etc., adventure).

5.        A rather dispirited Weenie Wizard seeks a source of condiments large enough to renew his mustard S-curl.

6.        Omeyer seeks out the five Hot Dog Suit characters that have fallen into this dimension from a world not unlike our own. He seeks to have these hapless Hot Dogs as acolytes and henchmen. If there is a PC using the Hot Dog Suit class, they are among those sought by the Weenie Wizard. For more information, see The Gongfarmer’s Almanac 2016, Volume 1.

7.        Having learned of another word by the great warlock-artist Gokov Udaks, Omeyer is on a quest to acquire every slender volume of the Book of Hobos, which he believes will reveal the location of a world of living meats. Perhaps, at last, the Weenie Wizard may find a place where he fits in…
