No, the attack and the effect are both parts of the power. The effect takes place independently of the attack.

There seems to be an attack roll missing from the Killing Dark power common to both the Dark Creeper and Dark Stalker. The text in each is identical, suggesting the error was propagated across with a simple c&p; the Dark Stalker text states that 'when slain, a dark creeper explodes in a spout of...

I'd write new rules. An entire crafting system, using skill checks to 'salvage' raw materials (Nature to skin a buck, for example; Dungeoneering to extract ore) and then adopt a system modelled on rituals, whereby each kind of item had a ritual-like process to make it which you could master (in...

Well, what with Drow being absent from the 4th Edition SRD, I'd be happy to see this happen. Fly, my gargantuan creation, fly! Be free! :)

Exactly. Player innovation is great, but this looks like a walloping great inconsistency to me. I've been trying to reason through the situation presented in the example, and it doesn't help that we're not told what the challenge in question is. It looks like the challenge is 'Find the...

What boggles me is the later example of secondary skill use, in the bit about rewarding creativity: 'The fighter wants to climb a tree with Athletics to get a good vantage point on the surrounding forest, thinking that gaps in the trees might indicate the presence of a river. That's an easy DC...

Just checking I'm reading these rules right: If you tag the nearest enemy as your quarry and he then turns tail and runs, meaning that other enemies are closer, he is still your quarry until he is defeated, the encounter ends, or you choose to pick another quarry, right? So you can chase him...

It's not so much an adventure as a metaphor for the human condition. Ultimately we can all be found clinging to what is precious to us, alone, in a stark and simple environment.

Eek. That's a bit out of date. No Book of Unremitting Horror, no Drow War series even. I'd better get on to updating that! Thanks! (And I'm glad you liked the book :) ) - Adrian

Thank you very much! It's one of my favourite projects to date. Wrapping words round Dave's horrendous concepts was a great deal of fun. - Adrian

I don't believe there's anything specifically on Gondal, because apparently most of the material is lost: 'Nothing of the Gondal history remains except Emily's poems, the references in the journal fragments by Anne and Emily, the birthday papers of 1841 and 1845, and Anne's list of the names of...

Emily Bronte's 'Gondal' campaign, if it can be called that, is a great example of a homebrew fantasy world dating from the mid 19th century. Although it can't be considered a RPG as such, the level of detail expended on a fantasy milieu that only a few people were intended to play in is really...

*waves* Author of the former, at least. :) There are two reviews here on ENworld if you're interested. If it's OK to chip in here: it's not necessary to play through all of the books. Each one has a conclusion of its own, which could wrap the story up if needed. The first one (levels 1-10)...

Damn! I shall set to work on becoming more famous immediately! :)

I believe the poster was talking about the far less exciting 'Book of Remitting Horror'.
