I don't know about class, but it does scream "illithid" to me. :heh:

Um, isn't that Corellon's Implement in the Wizard of the Spiral Tower Paragon path? I know it's longsword-specific, but it's a start, and it's PHB page 171.

I agree with MrBreens; anything following the "Critical:" entry happens when you attack with that weapon/implement and make a critical hit with it. Ergo, it isn't really parmesan.

It sounds like you get to have the attributes of a given genasi manifestation by wearing the armor--so the pluses to defenses and saving throws are in place as long as you wear it, and you get the racial power (be it earthshock or whatever) as if you were that type of genasi--as an encounter...

I think it depends on what you're doing with the artifact. My DM has used both sorts. She had a chaotic evil medallion compelling the party members to hide it, retrieve it, coat it with blood, and so on without any dialogue from the artifact. She had a tripartate artifact (rather like the Key to...

So I'm preparing a Genasi Swordmage for a short campaign, and I'm looking at bracers as one of the three magic items the DM is allotting each PC (we're starting at 6th level). The Breach Bracers look interesting, but I wonder about the flavour versus the power text. The flavour text says: "These...

My wizard Sebastian Argent (One of Alaric's younger brothers BTW), died twice in one day of game time (two sessions IRL). We found our cabin boy and another person held captive and guarded by 3 undead dire wolfhounds. The party showed no signs of leaving the room, so I cast Wall of Fire and...

Since gaming is in a sense an ensemble performance, there are storytelling ways around this. My DM had me find a scroll of Rope Trick, which now requires an expensive focus (a metal rope of quite high value). Later, we helped out a Dwarven clan rescue their children and a valuable cup; as my...

We just killed a black dragon... Just got home from game a little while ago, and our DM was quite chuffed about the black dragon we fought and killed. The party is 4th level, with a tiefling paladin, a fighter, a rogue, a ranger, a cleric and a wizard. The dragon had a lair in an old temple in...

Funny you should say that. I'm playing one half of a set of twins now, younger brothers to the sorcerer I played before (who is now an uberlevel NPC heading for godhood, whether he likes it or not). No player interest in anyone playing the other twin, but he figures in the plot, especially since...

I once played a elf rogue raised by gnomes in a short-lived campaign--gem knowledge (appraisal/cutting/jewelry craft) was part of the schtick, as well as having a whole slew of names that could be selected from to meet the demands of the occasion (I think "Cab" --bestowed by an uncle for doing...

Sukael is correct, yet RAW has it "swap one" (PHB p. 209). The biggest difference I noted was that the feats are power-type specific: encounter attack (Novice), utility (Acolyte), or Daily attack (Adept). One wonders how to factor in the Expanded Spellbook (extra spells in repertoire from...

You could also throw in... other factors. Say, wind direction and scent? I was recently in a 3.5 undead campaign; our only living party member had lycanthropy, and a racial scent "feat" from something in the werewolf monster template. What about PC size and the crop/wild vegetation in the...

Many thanks ...for the feedback. Lots of food for thought. /dry handwash of evil glee

Hmm. Where to start? Perhaps by asking few questions... Why did the priests of Pelor have the Chain God worshippers in custody? Did they spot a danger the more complaisant theocrats of Bahamut missed? How will the powers that be react when/if they learn of the secret priesthood? What's...

Perhaps it was that second glass of tempranillo while watching NOVA online, but I got a yen to add a scenario to my DM toolbox--a thing I toy with from time to time on the off chance that I might actually DM a game. A piece on baumanii/Iraqibacter got me thinking about a scenario that runs ike...

It is also a bit strange to me that you can cast spells with the implement keyword without using an implement, but using the implement makes them more effective (PHB p. 56). My question is, how, exactly? A character using a non-magical weapon s/he is proficient with gets a prof. bonus that is a...

OTOH The WotST paragon path has longsword proficiency as a prerequisite and a couple of spells with the weapon keyword (and therefore bring in the proficiency bonus, per sidebar on PHB page 275). I'm not clear if the prof. bonus could be extended to other spells that attack AC when using the...
