Champion of Nekhebit

Champion · Champion Title

A rarely used god-champion title forced onto Donut, granting benefits but exposing her to bounties and smite.

Story so far

Rosetta explained that the Champion system is almost never used in Dungeon Crawler World — it appears mainly in Battle Royale and The Land War seasons. Bodi was a champion of some god during his season, and everyone remembers Ntumba from the Battle Royale. Being a god's champion comes with additional benefits and additional problems.

The problems, delivered quietly so Princess Donut wouldn't hear, are severe: enemies of Nekhebit collect a bounty for killing her champion, and the arrangement is not unlike Conscription — should the goddess want her champion to do something, she can order it done or answer with Smite. Donut retains far more autonomy than a conscript, but Carl was outraged that the title was applied unilaterally. Milk and Rosetta both believe Odette's spell wording is what handed it to Donut alongside the Oak Fell class.

Role

The divine title binding Donut to Nekhebit, with bounty and smite as its price.

Relationships

Princess Donut — Unwilling holder of the title.
Nekhebit — The goddess who granted it and can command through it.
Conscription — Comparable binding, but with less autonomy than the champion title.
