Here's my elevator Speech for such a game. DALEFIRE ASCENDANT A Forgotten Realms Campaign Elevator Pitch** When shadows stir in the Dalelands, old villains don’t stay buried — they rise. Rumours whisper that Fzoul Chembryl, long thought gone, is clawing his way back to power. His resurrection...

That's technically correct, the best kind of correct. :D

ok removing all vulnerability to thunder for now. also adjusting stonecunning text. and yes landslide sounds better. :D Oh, no worries, think of them as an add-on to those who want variety with their gargoyle. Masque Gargoyle Amphitheater/Emotion-Born Gargoyle Large Elemental (Gargoyle)...

let me rephrase it I want a game that happened in the dalelands since the year 2000

Essentially, I want a Baldur's Gate-type game to be done there. It was the original heartland of the realms, key connection to the underdark and it's close to the Moonsea, Cormyr and Sembia And if it happens to allow Saurials or Stonelander Minotaurs as PCs...so be it. :D So how would you...

ok any spells should be 1. useful 2. thematic If I can reskin a spell, I will. so before I do that, what do you expect? I'll post my own opinions later. in the meantime Gargoyle Class Synergy Guide (5e) How a living statue fits into every class—and how every class transforms the gargoyle...

keen here's my rough draft to viable gargoyle pcs Gargoyle (Player Species) Play as a living statue touched by faith, fear, or memory. Ability Score Increase Increase one ability by +2 and a different ability by +1, or three different skills by +1. Creature Type Elemental. You count as...

now I got time to respond @dave2008 I need to explain. I am an old greybeard, anthropologist by training (if not by trade), and amateur historian. I have been gaming for a long time. when you say "But I see no reason to so thoroughly change 50 years of D&D tradition", where is the break off...

Pretty much last of the fluff, but still has crunch to post. I added my own world: the elderberry tales: an actual medieval world inspired by the Norman invasion, the peasant rebellion and the Smurfs. :D...

will have to respond in more detail on the weekend to a couple of things. but will keep posting for now. Relationships with Adventurers How Gargoyles perceive—and clash with—the classes and peoples who roam their domains Gargoyles measure other beings not by species, alignment, or creed, but...

These special dietary talks have amused me greatly. :D Relationships With Other Factions & Creatures How gargoyles fit into the social, political, and monstrous fabric of a typical fantasy world. Gargoyles & Civilized Factions Churches, Temples, and Sacred Orders — “The Oldest Employers”...

let me know when it is ready. I'm officially intrigued. :) Spruce Grove has never been stranger.Elves in trailer courts, dubstep coyotes, faerie playgrounds, cursed highways — the Capital Parkland keeps getting weirder in the best ways.Dive into Capital Parkland — Part 05: Spruce Grove below...

good ideas everyone. I have to admit giving ink to underwater gargoyles makes me giggle so it will most likely happen. will go over the other feedback when I have time. Diet Despite their imposing physiques and reputation as aerial ambush predators, gargoyles have surprisingly varied — and...

I thought about how many gargoyles of a location were determined by the GM, and that while I have a mechanism to create a gargoyle, not every single statue becomes one? @Corinnguard , I will have to follow this up, but as for favourite character period, that's easy, it's Macbeth. I wish they...

Honestly, a cathedral getting a gargoyle would be like getting a stray dog or cat. they would be adored by the locals and considered a gift from the gods. :D ...and the next time the Vikings invade your cathedrals/monasteries/nunneries, they will get one hell of a surprise as that scary statue...

ooh new book potential, ty kindly. As for gargoyles, I'm a pretty hard Keith David fan and this introduced me to him. I would say Goliath, but Hudson always amused me as well. It's fun having a lovable old-timer as the group's wisdom, especially with his pet "dog." :D and now that Bronx has...

@Brendan Byrd ty kindly. :) @Tonguez I like it, I particularly like the stone stance. @Corinnguard, you just reminded me of one of my favorite "guilty pleasure" movies. Gargoyle angels really do have their own feel, and it would really add a fun option to the upper planes (which is sorely...

ty kindly edited. now doing two things firstly the next section Appearance Gargoyles share a common silhouette recognizable across cultures and continents, yet no two are ever truly alike. Their base anatomy reflects a blend of living stone biology, architectural design logic, and the...
