I prefer to start around 4th, and 4th-9th is my preferred play range, with 6th being the absolute best, for reasons already given. I could happily spend a long time "frozen" at about 6th or 7th level just exploring the game setting and making friends and enemies. As far as I'm concerned, 6th...

Depending on the situation, of course. It may not be able to run at all (if it's guarding something it can't afford to lose). I probably should've added an IMC designation, since my players do tend to make themselves easy to find. Actually, the real real problem is that a mind flayer sorcerer...

It is not CR 17! Sorry, that just really gets on my nerves. :D Of course, the point stands. A 12th-13th level mind flayer sorcerer (therefore, actually CR 17) certainly wouldn't go down like that to an EBT. Of course, Izerath merely said that "the story would have been far different"...

Oh, that mind flayer... The reason it died so easily is that someone at WotC had a stupid attack and forgot the rules for nonassociated class levels for monsters - spellcasting classes are always nonassociated (+1 CR per two class levels) unless they add on to natural spellcasting ability...

*bump* By the way, if anyone wants snappy responses like Feiran's feel free to contact me on IM. My MSNIM screenname is Kelleris Fortunesbane, and my AIM screenname is just Kelleris. Feel free to IM me and we can talk about the game!

:o Now I'm embarassed. I had assumed the Dromus II game was closed by player consent since it's been so long since anyone posted. The last post was mine and the ball was (I think) in the players' court. My bad if I misunderstood.

Feiran: The symbols are woven in such a way that they are definitely not drawing on arcane power. You would suspect this weapon was created through divine magic, but something's bothering you about it.

Feiran carefully eases the dagger from its sheath, ever so slowly revealing a bone-white blade covered in surprisingly deep channels that form symbols of magical power. All of you with some knowledge of religious paraphernalia recognize the symbols as those belonging to various evil Proxies...

Feiran recoils just as Cagthail did upon touching the dagger, surprised by a sudden vertiginous pain. The cold iron gauntlet apparently made no difference. When you grasp the dagger, you get a sudden feeling of nauseous weightlessness, along with a vertiginous shift of perspective that twists...

Use Invisible Castle. I actually like it better anyways.

OOC - Knowledge (arcana), Spellcraft, Knowledge (local), Search, Perception, Sense Motive, Knowledge (nobility and royalty), and various spells could all be useful at this juncture. I'd roll them myself, but I'm on dial-up at the moment (staying at my grandmother's) and don't have a link to the...

In my personal campaign setting, technology was the result of an invasion by alternate-Prime invaders, dubbed the Imperium Mechanus by the locals. They attacked through a weak magical gate they jury-rigged into working, but were quickly shattered when all of their machines shut down. Remnants...

Gothic_Demon: Glad to hear it. If all else fails, I think the device list (which, to be honest, will take up much of the PDF) should be useful. Devyn: True enough, there are many quirkier settings this would be good for, but it also works well as an alien spellcasting-type ability for more...

OOC - Sorry about the lull. My grandfather's been very sick recently, and I took advantage of a place where there was nothing obvious for me to do as DM to drop out for a bit. I'll get back on it, especially since Isida's been yellin' at me in her PbP game. :D Illira: You don't remember...

Wombat - Oh, of course I can understand that. As I noted, it's an esoteric topic... I just wanted to know how many other people shared my personal quirk. (And really, PDF publishing is the way to deal with quirky material.) Having read many of your posts around the boards, I'd've been quite...

This might be better for you, Starglim: The devices are organized into three categories - there are gadgets, which are very much to the clockwork-and-steam standard, technologies which represent sci-fi level gear (though with a somewhat different flavor), and artifacts like the example one...

Arion - hp 312, t22; AC 46, Melee 53; Fort +49/Ref +36/Will +34; Slots: 3/4/3/5/4/4/4 Hmm... I don't have a lot to do, with the creatures taying out of melee range. I certainly don't plan on going up there without support. And here I thought I was waiting for someone else. :o Arion...

Hmm, yes, that was my thinking. I'll add a few others that are good, but not what I was looking for, too: the Dragonmech Coglayer and Dave1001's Inventor and Tech Warrior from the WotC boards. I wouldn't be interested in taking a stab at integrating technology as a sort of equipment or as an...

Very briefly. I quit when I decided I wasn't happy about my gnome stumbling into town with great big charisma penalties because some woodland creature had clawed half my face off. I also looked into the gamefaqs.com faq to see if there were any devices worth adapting to this system, but I...

Hrm. Perhaps I was over-hasty assuming General would be the best place for it. I thought it would be bad form to double-post, but would a short post in House Rules linking to the General one be okay? Or trying again if the original thread gets swallowed into the abyss of General quickly?
