    Critter Bits and Magic Recipes!

    Dragon 299 has a magical doll, appropriately named "the Siren", which included in its creation hair willingly given by a living siren... Dragon 305 has a nasty addictive drug called white resin which is made with herbs and yuan-ti venom... And as I have a campaign to DM in half an hour, that's...

    dumbest thing a character has survived

    A kobold psion in my campaign, at fourth level, inexplicably decided to write a letter to the hundreds-strong pack of cranium rats asking them to not attack him further... And then inexplicably decided to deliver said letter in person. Alone. The only reason he's still alive is because...

    Dragon 284 has just that, if you own it or can get a copy of it... even though it's a short and by no means complete lexicon, it's a great place to start. All of the kobold tribe names IMC are in pidgin Draconic lifted from this article... if you can't get a copy, email or PM me and maybe...

    What's the deal with half-orcs?

    I use them.. coincidentally, they're one of only two cross-breed species (aside from half-dragons, of course...) and the only common one. The fact that humans can have offspring with orcs IMC, and moon elves with dark elves, but that no other crossbreeds are possible, is VERY significant and...

    Are the official WotC forums worth going to?

    Yes, especially if you are a Planescape fan.... yeah, there's the new Planewalker forums, but the Planescape and MotP subforums at WotC never cease to be a source of enjoyment for me. Where else do you get to see Shemeska the Marauder and Factol Rhys derail a topic by getting in a catfight...

    Critter Bits and Magic Recipes!

    From Dragon 309, the spell plague cloud uses dried otyugh blood as a material component. I'd prefer not to retype whole spells from 3rd edition sources, even if they are Dragon, because of potential legality issues with that, but if you want the full text of something 2nd Edition that didn't...

    You're right- the only kobolds thus far ARE all females... weird. Snarfoogle, I think there are a few male kobolds in one of my Dungeon magazines- when I find them, I'll give you a heads-up at the top of the post, okay? Meanwhile, Dragon 226 Theahtyn, male dwarf Dragon 282 Noor, female...

    Planecape recommended viewing

    .....I, ah.. didn't like the graphics at some points.... Sometimes, especially in the Hive, it got hard for me to see what was going on. Does that warrant an alligator-feeding, or just some lesser punishment, like being forced to listen to Guvner lectures for hours on end? Hmm.... On the...

    On the other hand, most Dragon Magazine stuff is unlikely to see reprint, which is why we've got the go-ahead for it. Kinda.

    Critter Bits and Magic Recipes!

    Meh, I don't want to type out the full description for these new spells/items, so I'll just summarize and paraphrase, okay? Dragon 275 has a spell called Mass Strength (essentially a multiperson bull's strength which uses "a few hairs from any kind of giant" as a component. Nixie's grace, a...

    Off topic, but BOZ, care to give the Critter Bits thread a bump so I can find it? I don't have access to the search feature, and the copy you have linked on your page is on the Cyberstreet forums, which my computer doesn't like.

    I know, but I hate it when module writers do that... it shows that they didn't bother to even really do basic research on the monster before using them. It's kind of a long-standing pet peeve of mine. Back to the names, Dragon 277 Fyrfar Smokebeard, dwarf (Everything here through Ndulu is...

    Downer Poll

    It's okay, and I like it a lot better than some of the other serious serials they've run (Libram X, for example), but I'm still only "meh" about it... I think I'd like it better if I had more of an idea what's going on, but I've only seen about three or four non-consecutive runs of it, so I kind...
