[QUOTE="Dunamin, post: 5142151, member: 57529"] Looks great, Mal! I note that a fair bit of Planescape-concepts is incorporated, which really appeals to me. :) (i.e. Power of Belief; the assumption that you can achieve divinity with enough believers) Just like the Usurper in part is noted to fill the niche of Tharizdun, I think it’s alright to note that Akneth in part fills the niche of Lolth. Any particular reason why this isn’t mentioned? I’m not sure if this is an issue, but Moloch classically is cast as a deposed archdevil in D&D, rather than a demon. I don’t mind the name, though I can imagine newcomers confusing him for the former baatezu Lord of Malbolge from earlier editions. Also, I note that the Usurper seems reminiscent of the Unseen Lord from the Closed Eye adventure. Is this intentional - are they one and the same? Woe and the Punishment Patrol failed to stop the return of a shadowy being that would doom the world – did we unleash pseudo-Tharizdun on the Isles? :blush: [/QUOTE]
