The Index serves the will of their god - The City, and the prescripts it creates from every movement, every moment and every thought of The City itself. Those who serve it, willingly or otherwise, are handed these prescripts - mysterious messages delivered in a myriad of ways - which they are to carry out, lest they suffer karmic consequences.
This version is a (badly done) adaptation that seeks to bring the rough concept of the prescripts to DnD 5e. The work will almost definitely be sloppy, I’m no good at the whole balancing game, but I hope it will suffice. Feel free to reflavour it any way you want, make it the will of a deity of your own choosing, or maybe a master’s delivery of orders to a servant, you decide how to use it. I’m only here to provide you with the base.
[The will of the Prescripts - and that of The City - is absolute. Those who follow it and believe in it, blinded to all else but perfect obedience, are granted a glimpse at its grace, while those who oppose it, willingly or not, suffer the wrath of karma. Those who have long served it reject their individuality to act as perfect vehicles for the prescripts, numbed to the brutality they may entail, only serving mindlessly, broken, and yet they persist, for the prescripts demand them to. Prescripts offer a myriad of cryptic or straightforward commands, which grant the recipient benefits if completed, and punishes them if they fail. Those who adhere closely to the will of the prescripts gain bonuses to their abilities, while those who stray from its words are offered a similar myriad of consequences. The prescripts reward the loyal and the faithful. The Will of The City is absolute.]
