I ran a low-Intelligence lizardfolk fighter/barbarian PC who'd been raised his whole life in a drow slave camp. As a result, he had a rather limited understanding about how the world really was. On their first excursion on the surface world, I had my PC tackle a fellow slave - a dwarf fighter...

Um...no. Johnathan

Some further thoughts: I'm not sure what edition you're using; I'm a 3.5 guy and so this is all going to be using what I know of the 3.5 rules - there might be some tweaking of this concept if you're using 5E rules. (I honestly don't know enough about 5E to confirm.) However, it strikes me...

Ditto. Gamma World (1st edition) was my second RPG. Johnathan

Are you crazy? Well, you are a "Committed" Hero, so.... In all seriousness, some other curse than lycanthropy might work better here - or are there werenightmares in your game world? There's also the (in my mind) problem with a lycanthrope with a "human" form being that of a centaur, an...

In our last "Middle of Elsewhere" game session, the PCs: "Woke up" in Mechanus with no memory of the Shift Day they'd been expecting having happened Met up with a duodrone modron who passed a note to the celestial elf witch PC asking for help for help at the nearby modron mines Followed the...

Foiled protection racket, rescued kidnapee. Johnathan

I have never for the life of me understood putting mayonnaise on a burger. I hadn't even heard of such a thing until we got stationed in California, and apparently that's the default there (as I found out the first time I ordered a burger in a restaurant and nearly choked on the unexpected...

A version of the Hellfire Club also featured in an episode of "The Avengers" (during the Mrs. Peel years) called "A Touch of Brimstone." And, of course, there's also the Hellfire Club made up of mutant villains that appear in the "X-Men" comics. Johnathan

Some 3.5 templates grant the PC wings: half-celestial (feathered), half-dragon (draconic, but requiring a creature of Large or larger size), and half-fiend (bat wings). But Goodman Games' The Book of Templates has what you're probably looking for: the Flying template, which adds flight via...

I agree with Whizbang Dustyboots...but I also really do like big rubber suit monsters, Western and Japanese. Johnathan

When I was stationed in Maryland, the barber I frequented not only cut my hair to my specifications, but told me all about my aura - specifically, what color it was that day and whet that usually meant. He was decent old guy, but I kept going back to him because he was a good barber, and all of...
