    Alternative Summoning Class (of Kobolds)

    So my newest player wants a caster character that can summon kobolds and only kobolds. And only summon things. He wanted to have a list of different kinds of kobolds he can summon, like Kobold Ninjas or winged kobods, or kobolds carrying big bombs that run up to the enemy and detonate...

    1st level adventures in a city of epic evil

    So my upcoming minicampaign is going to a 1st level part of good guys infiltrating an evil planar metropolis with intent of saving what few non-evil slaves or sacrificial victims they can manage. This campaign will be different from anything else I've run, with the need for secrecy, the near...

    You've just assaulted a drow matriarch

    So you and you're buddies, most of whom are large crazy mosnter things, gate in to Menzobarranzan and attacked the house matron of the most powerful house in the city. You bypassed her guards and slayed her retinue of followers but through some trickery she manages to escape. Now comes her...

    [Eberron] Warforged Origins - SPOILERS!

    Now, don't forget the Psi-Forged as well. If ever there was a perfect quori host they would be it. There's even a pretty obvious quori attack described in their fluff. Here's my theory. The original warforged were most likely not designed as hosts, since I don't think the quori needed hosts...

    What alignment is House?

    He keeps his job mostly through his high charisma and the fact the Cuddy knows there will be cases only he can solve. He often tells Cuddy just that, though not usually in those words. What the f*** does "maximally chaotic" mean?

    What alignment is House?

    Chaotic Neutral does not mean crazy. At least, not any more. Science is the rational observation of repeatable and verifiable causes and effects around you. It has nothing to do with law and is not a code of any kind. To ignore facts you have to be totally off your rocker crazy bonkers. House...

    Information on the Mercane/Arcane

    Lot's of people might have done things to cross the lady of pain, but I doubt all of them would flee in such a seemingly suicidal way as leaping through an unidentified portal. I wonder if the lady, sigil, and the mercane all have some similar or related origin? Can any Spelljammer guru step up...

    Information on the Mercane/Arcane

    Ever since I established the mercane as being the default magic item dealers in my planar campaign they've become more and more prevalent. Now I've always enjoyed their concept but I've also always been a bit irked that their motives and origins are only described as Mysterious. What...

    New LOTR DVD's out in Aug.

    I suppose if you really wanted to own both versions and you hadn't yet bought them this might be a good deal for you. Except not really since the price of buying both versions off ebay is almost certainly less than buying this new one. Value versus convenience, I guess.

    One of my PCs is wearing a Lich's phylactery!

    The paladin's might not know who the PCs are. If they know what the phylatery looks like, have been searching for it for centuries, and then see one of the PCs wearing it around they might easily assume that the PCs are the Lich's minions. Or a non-good enemy of the lich might want to capture...

    God of War, dungeons, and my game

    Another lesser known arthurian artifact is Clarent, arthur's other sword. From wikipedia "In the Alliterative Morte Arthure, an alliterative verse work of Arthurian literature, Clarent is one of King Arthur's two magic swords. While Excalibur is a sword of warfare, Clarent is one of peace, used...

    Does your setting have Magic Shops

    If you're in a city with any kind of Planar connections, that has set public portals and trades with Sigil or the City of Brass or where ever, than you will almost certainly have the Mercane. They do nothing but sell items and you can try to make special orders from them. However any really...

    Fans of mature (vile) material, what do you want?

    I want to speak about gore. I don't think anyone here has said they don't want to see to gore. It's just that just gore is not enough. It has to have a point. It has to have meaning behind. Innards and decay are cool but they aren't "vile" just by being there. But once you have that reason...

    Fans of mature (vile) material, what do you want?

    I like Prestige Classes but only if they have a good reason to exist. There are some concepts that just wouldn't work as anything else. But to me most PCs seem like they would have been far better off as new feat chains. You shouldn't have to tell someone your character is in a prestige class...

    Do mindflayer mindblasts affect constructs and undead?

    Do they count as Mind-Affecting Effects?

    Do You Prefer a Humanocentric RPG Setting?

    Gods no. All I ever get to interact with in life are humans. And I guess cats. I also don't like settings where the PCs are relatively powerless and have no real chance of changing the setting or impacting the world around them. I probably wouldn't like games that involve crappy dayjobs, or...

    What is the Problem with Union!

    Union is just laughably bad. There's a fifteenth level Fishmonger (Fighter 11/Expert 4) who uses a Cubic Gate to get fish directly from his fishing vessels, so it'll be fresh, and to get ice to pack them in directly from a arctic polar region. Or the fact that the Union Sentinels, the epic...

    Meepo in town?

    I think the threat level of single kobold accompanied by well armed officials is relatively low. If they had come back with an ogre or something then I could see some angry mobs. Though if the town had been raided by kobolds before some people might be acting out of anger and revenge rather than...
