Following on from the Star of David idea (and the point about
Dachau, which is well taken), how about this?
Each man is still shot through the heart, but a man
standing nearby then places a stone marked with a rune into the wound, and it
absorbs all of the blood in the man's body as he dies. This would create a bloodstone (as opposed to a runestone.)
A bloodstone would work (in game terms) as a runestone, but
would not require the experience investment on the part of the adept to create.
However, it would always burn out after a single use. One death = one rune = one
use.
This would be a (un)reasonable method for the SS to power
their magic cheaply. It would mean that the SS intend to turn the Jewish
population into batteries for SS blood magic.
The PCs, of course, would understand absolutely nothing about
any of it, they would just see people being shot and stones placed into the
wounds, and then (possibly) the stones being removed a few minutes later, now
dark red. Odd.
As for the shouting of 'I am a traitor', well, that could just
be because the SS are bastards who don't pass up an opportunity to
humiliate their victims.
I'm not completely familiar with the magic rules, would doing
this unbalance them?
Cheers,
BJ
