That is indeed correct. I chose that particular line because it's the classic line of Dr. Doom, whom is not only a classic villain but also my avatar (if you look closely you can see his green cowl just above the metal of his mask surrounding the eye).

My gaming group just recently finished our longest running Campaign (it's been going for about 9 Months)as a result of a spectacular blunder. To fully understand this blunder you have to know a little bit about the setting in which it takes place. The Campaign Setting was essentialy a...

The Gestalt option from Unearthed Arcana has recently become quite popular in my group and after reading the entry in Unearthed Arcana I'm still not quite sure how it affects Prestige Classes. My initial thought was that upon entering a Prestige Class you would only stop progression in the class...

Wow, and here I thought I was probably the only one crazy enough to run a Small Frenzied Berzerker. I ran a Gnome Barbarian/Fighter/Frenzied Berzerker named Gau (named after the Finaly Fantasy 6 character) in one Campaign and had a blast with him. The main reason I did it was just because I...

I'm working on an updated version of the Mines of Bloodstone and I need the rules for the Bow of the Forest. I can't find the item in any of my 3.5 books. Could someone tell me where I might be able to find the rules (preferably in 3.5) for this item or tell me what it did so I can convert it to...

What kind of abilities do the various types of Duergar in the adventure have?

Has anyone else had the problem of going to download the article and then getting a page full of numbers/codeing? For some reason everytime I try going to download this article I keep getting a page full of numbers/codeing. This is the first time I've had this problem with an article on WotC's...

Could someone please provide some details on the Duergar? Also, I'm curious as to the reason why some Troglodytes are joined by an Angel. I realize Angels can be good or evil, it just seems like an odd match to me.

Speaking of the Duergar in 4E, I seem to remember mention that the Duergar were being reconceptualized so as to make them less "the Drow of the Dwarves". IIRC the place this was stated also mentioned something about the 4E Duergar having some strong Fiendish heritage/blood or ties. I'm quite...

I see people using the first letters from the interview a little while back for Classes, but my understanding was that it was for races....or did I miss a scoop?

Looks great and very close to the 4E Remorhaz I wrote up. The one I wrote up was a Lv.20 Solo Lurker (the adventure I'm using it in starts at Lv.20) and was almost a straight copy of the Elder Purple Worm. I really like the other abilities you added. I'm definately going to have to borrow those...

Well I'm currently working on converting the Mines of Bloodstone to 4E which features the Duergar quite prominetly and so far I've primarily used the various Azer stat blocks in the MM but replacing the Fire Damage they do for Necrotic Damage (the Duergar are worshiping Orcus in the adventure)...

Okay, p.52 of the Monster Manual states: "The evil of the Abyss corrupted even some of the mighty primordials-Demagorgon, Baphomet, Orcus-and reshaped them into the likeness of pure, destructive evil." And on the third page of the Demonicon article on Yeenoghu, it states under the Lore...

Just thought I'd chime in with a bit of information. In the MM Demon Entry, the grey box with info on the origins of The Abyss hints that some of the Primordials became Demon Princes. The Demonomicon: Yeenoghu article from Dragon states that Yeenoghu was a Primordial iirc. I don't have the...

Black Dragon - Awesome. Death Priest of Orcus - Where's Indiana Jones? ;) Otyugh - Nice. Nothing better than a living, tentacled, garbage disposal with a maw full of pointy teeth. Demons - The Goristro is a huge improvement IMHO (and I liked the old version) and the Hezrou looks pretty cool...
