This is starting to get a little frustrating. It's becoming obvious that there are quite a few places where they have used a poor choice of words to define a rule, and then you're left to try to decifer what they mean. In this instance they say "If A, then B (for this duration)." Seems pretty...

Everyone keeps talking about how great it is that a fighter can mark multiple targets (for example, if a Dragonborn fighter uses his breath weapon on a group of enemies) and use combat challenge, but isn't the attack granted by combat challenge an immediate interrupt, which means you can only...

Heh. That's funny, I remember it like it just happened. If you look back to the end of "Sins I", we had experimented with splitting the party, which resulted in most of us getting our butts handed to us on one of Destan's plates. Our reasoning was that, since us players are scattered around...

You're a smart bunch. You guys are right on all accounts. The Cleaver, Mellish and Moril Karisbane are all PCs. I (the late John of Pell) play The Cleaver. My brother plays Mellish and fills the spot formerly occupied by Vath's player. Moril doesn't meet up with the group for a bit, but he...

Yeah, some of us twice in short order. In this last session we had a newly introduced PC live for all of a half an hour. Destan talks about how hard it is to run the monsters at these levels, but I have to admit- I have trouble just running a single character at this level, especially when I...

Tidbits that aren't spoilers? Hmm, let's just say we kicked the weekend off with a LARGE scale conflict, followed by some overseas travel, followed by some extra-planar travel, followed by a PC death, followed quickly by the death of the newly introduced PC, followed by... well, you get the...

Yeah, 'flavor text' is pretty much the better part of it. While I wasn't present during this particular scrap, I can tell you that Destan regularly takes minor liberties with the story for the sake of drama. I know I wouldn't want it any other way. I doubt if most of us would still be reading...

Yeah, but his player is such a weenie. :p I can't figure it out. The artist formerly known as; John of Pell

If only I could... *sigh* I wish I could tell you all about my next character. He is far and away, my favorite character ever, in my whole 25 year roleplaying career. Waiting for his introduction to the party in this SH has been a lot like waiting for Christmas but not knowing on what day...

a long way off It's still a LONG while off. That's one thing I said about Destan way back at the beginning; his patience is maddening. Finding out about the 'lone warrior' was probably the most dramatic event for me in this entire campaign, but I'll give no spoilers (don't want to face the...

Oddly enough, he looks exactly like my favorite Dungeon Master, Destan. And just to let you all know; don't expect an update anytime soon. Destan will be hunting for the next two weeks somewhere in the vast, uncharted wilderness of central Pennsylvania. What can I say? The guy just likes to...

54 hours of gaming madness *yawn* *stretch* *blink,blink* What day is it? I just came out of a sleep-deprivation induced coma myself, so it may be some time until Destan makes it back. Plus, I heard him saying something about being "creatively tapped". But be patient, he'll be...

A self-portrait Ale and Warmth to all. Since Destan is out of town for a bit, I thought I might throw out a little treat for all his fans. The attached file not only allows you all to feast your eyes on my rugged good looks, but also shows the basic size and shape of the Isle of Valusia in...
