Healing Potions for Rich (meaningless character sacrifice)
I have just scratched two healing potions off the character sheet of my 2E mage/thief Ornrandir. (It's a world without magic shops, and that's all he has.)
He has sent those healing potions to the Giant.
Anyone else willing to make a meaningless but well-intentioned character sacrifice in this hour of need?
Re: Healing Potions for Rich (meaningless character sacrifice)
My Cleric of Tymora, Niwre Luckchild, calls for a miracle of his deity to restore the Giants health from afar.
(not exactly a sacrifice, but well-intentioned nonetheless)
Re: Healing Potions for Rich (meaningless character sacrifice)
My retired character, the legendary Rogue and coward Atlas, orders another round of his autobiography published for the first time in years. He does this because for the first time in a while there is room for another player to grab attention in the epic and still comic adventuring party story market.

My last character, Mirach, sells off the rest of the valuable rubies he swiped from a ruined town under the nose of the paladin. Instead of secretly keeping the money for himself as usual, he sends it to the Giant.

My Huckster, Lucien Mandrake (or, depending on who asks, Roy Canton), will sell his prized 3rd edition Hoyle's Book of Games to support the Giant's health!
If the above post was written any time between 4AM and noon Mountain Time (10:00-20:00 GMT), it was probably written while I ought to have been sleeping. So, sorry. Unless an apology isn't necessary and whatever I wrote was awesome. In that case, you're welcome.

Re: Healing Potions for Rich (meaningless character sacrifice)
For lack of healing potions, at the end of his adventuring day, my 2nd level PF Cleric will blow any remaining Channel Energy uses (3 left atm), spontaneously cast his remaining spells as CLW (2 left atm, but the Barbarian took a lot of hits ), and cast a Stabilize in his honor. That is, if his companions don't get themselves too wounded on the way back to town
At my next session this Sunday, I'll roll the hp healed for him. Here it is: (3d6 + 2d8 +4 => 22hp)
...In terms of material possessions, I get the feeling a rusty bear-trap wouldn't send the right message, nor would the set of moldy bedsheets my character just stole from an abandoned castle.

He may well be running around with flat out total immunity to harm, he does not walk outside without an entire bevy of defensive magics around him and enough magic items to buy himself a nation.

Suddenly I am thinking of Rule 140 of the Evil Overlord list...

My character recently convinced a room of terrified prisoners of war to worship her master, a wizard waging an extra-planar war against a god in it's own realm. Rather than collect the new followers as canon fodder for this war, they allow them to be massacred by the army of undead that came out of no where to over run the city. They both hope this makes Rich feel better... Somehow.
Re: Healing Potions for Rich (meaningless character sacrifice)
My bard Artemis Hylmar feels it only right that he gives his last potion of cure mod wounds (He used the last one to keep himself from dying in a fight with a pair of lurks, which he is still fighting btw. they got the jump on me) to rich. hopefully it wont kill me, but either way its a worthy sacrifice.
Re: Healing Potions for Rich (meaningless character sacrifice)
Last Saturday, my Cleric Zane sacrificed his Wondrous Architecture, a Bed of Heal, sending it to the Giant for use.

Re: Healing Potions for Rich (meaningless character sacrifice)
My Netherese Arcanist, makes an Epic Spell called "Come Home, Giant!" which uses a Heal Seed, however it fails due to the Giant's Infinite Spell Resistance and wouldn't have worked anyway, since the Giant's wedding ring functions as an Epic Ring of Counterspell
