Dagger Hills While discussing disguises, Trella's use of the word "frilly" piques Quid's attention. As soon as the druid leaves, the priest claps her hands together, "I can take charge of arranging the disguises. It has been ever so long since I have been back in civilization, I am curious of...

I think Lela's point still stands, though. The Vow of Peace Feat may provide powerful benefits, but the RP challenges make any characters with it difficult to play. Most feats don't have this internal balancing, as opposed to the tradeoffs inherent in taking a feat. Of course, this means...

DM's note: I didn't really realize when I started posting this here that there was so much, well, talking, at the onset of the campaign. I've contemplated going back and deleting some, but, since the adventure itself has relatively few chances for discussion (and the related character...

For some reason I was thinking it said "any living thing," despite the fact that both my PHBs and the SRD said creature. Using creature, I think I like this the best. The dictionary includes animals, after all. Anyway, it will make my life as a DM easier, since the monk will be able to talk...

That's what I was looking for. Thanks!

A Quest Offered Vision blurry from the transport resolves into a larger-than-usual hamlet roughly a half-mile away, ringed by solid, if damaged, stone walls. A glance reveals only a smattering of farms near the town, due to its proximity to the mountains on three sides, likely indicating a...

Whoa, thanks for the quick responses! I also was leaning toward 2, but, playing the monk in question, I'm biased. Surely someone has clarified this with an official ruling by now. Or is it just that not enough people play monks for that long? :)

As the player and DM of a soon-to-be 17th level monk, I was wondering what exact ability the tongue of the sun and the moon was meant to grant. More precisely, is it meant to be: 1) Just like an upper-planar being's Tongues ability, allowing him to speak with any creature with a language...

A note on Quid and the orcs Just in case following a story with twelve characters and a bunch of odd orcs is as confusing to follow as it was to run, I offer this small bit of additional info. benho created Dobi and joined the lower-level party's bizarre adventures near their conclusion...

A Very Unusual Orc Trella whispers to Kai, "Uh, if you don't want this to end with a brawl, I suggest you do all the talking. Try to assure them that we didn't know this was their cave, blah-blah-blah." Kai glances at her; Trella smiles and taps her staff in her palm softly in response. Kyree...

Man, the City of the Spider Queen is brutal, isn't it? I have been slowly running a group through it for about a year now, and after reading yours and others' story hours, I'm beginning to think that not even my group of survivors will make it. Whoa. Anyway, it's a little late now, what with...

Yup, it requires improved sunder and works when striking any object. Not necessarily useful at all times, but the coolness factor of shattering a wall of stone or even iron in a single round might make up for it.

I may be wrong, but I thought that by this time the monk's ki-strike: adamantine would ignore all but the highest weapon hardnesses, making the sunder route potential useful. With the CW eagle claw attack (add wisdom bonus to sunder damage), your monk could shatter many weapons with a full...

The Real World: Cave Trella whispers to Dobi, “Ask the newbie a question only she would be able to answer. Or try and bait her with a false statement which the real Quid would know is in error.” The druid’s eyes are shadowed. “Given past experiences, verifying identity is important to me.”...

The funniest part of the episode was that half of the players didn't get what was so hilarious, while the other half abruptly burst out laughing and all but fell off their chairs. Good times.... Work progresses slowly, so another update soon.

While I agree with James that the Vow of Peace makes things difficult, such a character can still have a role (though I'd be sure to take stunning attack to accomplish it). In particular, he can be really good against spellcasters. Fast movement and tumbling gets him to his foe quickly. SR...

Welcome to the boards, greywalker! Of course, you mean that you miss Dobi because everyone loves the little fella and wants him around all the time, not because anything has happened to him, right? Sigh. At least I've caught up to Quid's introduction with this update. Only a few more of these...

Thanks for the quick responses! It sounds like the low-magic part won't be a problem, but my character choice will. Any suggestions for interesting character types within this world? I'd like to have to prepare spells, if possible, since my last few characters couldn't and I miss it.

This may be an odd topic, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm planning on playing an ascetic (as per the Vow of Poverty in the BoED) druid in a new 3.5E Dark Sun campaign that will be starting up soon. While minor changes to the druid in this world are specified on www.athlas.org, nothing...
