It is up to the Chaotic sneaky person whether he wishes to blow his cover with a quick, "I'm on your side! Could you *please* stop with the tentacles!" or die unwilling to reveal his presence. Of course, he'll most likely become visible when he dies. And it might be a little embarrassing to him...

It can be interesting to run into diverse folk and make a new friend.. or at least, have the stranger feel like they owe the party a favor. A lone Drow scout losing a fight to an Ogre.. what will the party do? Rescuing the Drow means having another resource in the future ("Maybe that Drow you...

I think I can see what Beautiful Decay is working towards. Playing a Minotaur, you had three racial feats at the start. Presuming you took Improved Natural Attack (once, to enhance your Horns), and may have erroneously taken INA again, you might want to talk to your GM about reassigning that...

Very well, then. Since the Dragon was Psionic as their special characteristic, rather than a spellcaster, I'd say the Dragon lost Psionics as part of the Xorvintaal ritual. This is a "lose something, get something" tradeoff, not "something for nothing." There's no such thing as a free lunch here.

If you are interested in setting up a crafting area.. and supporting it with a Dwarven theme, and perhaps even a tricksy "trap", here is a suggestion. Go ahead and buy that magic Forge, set up in an area conveniently close to, in fact part of, Moradin's temple. Go right ahead and take that...

Ah. So it's benefits you're seeking. Well, then. Sounds like you might want your Dragon to spend some of the time he's in town, Polymorphed into another form and eavesdropping, to look into any Prophecies that may exist in the land. You're looking for the key words, "..Guarded by a Dragon, or...

So your Fatespinner chef is about to serve up a gourmet pain omelet, and he happens to have two extra-special ingredients he might choose to add, to give it that extra "Pop!" Selecting and adding these ingredients is a free action for each. So would also be grinning, winking, and/or mentally...

If you're planning a solo run, I've considered the disturbing prospect of a Yuan-Ti Pureblood Ascetic Swordsage.. using the Exalted Deeds book, and playing a Pureblood that is truly convinced that possessions are unnecessary impediments to the One Path of Yuan-Ti Enlightenment. If you like it...

Multiple stage plan: 1. Owe someone an enormous favor (or perhaps multiple favors) to let you store the phylactery in a Secret Chest, re-storing it each 60 days until you are ready to crush the phylactery. Extradimensional storage, your friend for nondetection. 2. Get to a city with Dwarves...

Escaping the Daily Grind Having fingers means you can work a meatgrinder. And with trapsmithing, you can build a much, much larger one. Whomever it was that took your teeth - that's the fellow chained by the throat to the treadmill that drives the big meatgrinder. When the PCs get captured...

Practiced Spellcaster feat is very useful. Spells like Haste, Blink and/or Heroism for yourself, then Slow, Crushing Despair, and if you see multiple arcane casters, use that scroll of Chained Feeblemind. Shield and Mage Armor are time-honored favorites. Decide for yourself if this Dragon was...

If you're looking for Flaw suggestions, I can offer Shaky (-2 with ranged attacks) and Inattentive (-4 to Listen and Spot checks). A Warblade does not often need to switch to ranged weapons, in my experience, so that's not such a bad area to be weak in. And a touch of preening narcissism is...

If you just keep getting your character swallowed, get yourself a Necklace of Adaptation and a Decanter of Endless Water. Work out with the GM what preparations your character has made to unstopper and activate the Decanter in Geyser mode while in a creature's gullet. This is fairly likely to...

Willingness to put it all on the line for the other team members. The gleam of madness, saying "Yes!" and adding imagination in large doses to pull out an audacious win from the moist fangs of catastrophe. Dice (or, if in Amber/other Diceless, post-it notes & fine-point pens for note-passing)...

Have any of the characters gotten their hands on some "I really don't want to use this, but.." items, like a little glass sphere that can summon a Demon, if you are willing to "pay his price" afterward? The characters may have all the tools they need to change the situation from hopeless to...
