    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    Look upon my works, ye mighty... (my players stay out, please)

    So, all emissaries of the emperor must have white cats that are capable of befriending homicidal psychopaths?

    Look upon my works, ye mighty... (my players stay out, please)

    Complete with a fake city full of challenges, possibly built on the ruins of an enemy city state?! Combine that with the idea of the Gladiator Collars from an earlier post, for maximum, "300 men and women enter, 1 couple leaves!"

    Look upon my works, ye mighty... (my players stay out, please)

    Actually, no there doesn't, not from us anyway. We were asked to provide ideas that were excesses of money and magic that would exemplify the decadence of a far reaching Empire that has used great magic in the past to extend it's borders and insure safety, but that is now settling and sagging...

    Look upon my works, ye mighty... (my players stay out, please)

    A couple of things: Fabricate and stone shape still requires you to make an appropriate craft check. The most life-like statue will be one of a live person. Not many mages seeking power or prestige focus on Craft: Sculpting. Between charming monsters with stoning abilities and metamagics...

    The Causeway Beautification Project The roads of the Empire are it's arteries and veins, keeping it alive and healthy. As such, they must be beautiful, resilient, and awe-inspiring. The emperor, entranced by a beautiful flowering vines gifted by a foreign diplomat for his gardens, decrees that...

    Look upon my works, ye mighty... (my players stay out, please)

    The Great Air Canal While many of the cities of the Empire are river or sea ports, shipborne traffic still needs to avoid river hazards and sail around coasts to get between them. In an effort to improve trade, communication, and the speed with which the navy can be deployed, the Emperor has...

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    I give you, The Rope of Transference (because despite my stinginess, in my 13 year campaign, they got a LOT of magic they outgrew, or were beyond when they got it): The Rope of Transference (Constant Item, Min Research 2 Weeks, DC 40) Lesser: Transfer Magic Arms and Armor: Allows Transfer of...

    Return to the monster's lair: what would YOU do?

    It's ok, you can try to turn them into mucilage week after next. They are just prolonging their inevitable demise at the hands of the gruesome monsters beyond the boundaries of the Empire's wards.

    Return to the monster's lair: what would YOU do?

    Poor, poor Red Shirted Grey Guard in the hall... Regarding not making the former PC undead. What about making it the necrotic cyst egg sac for the undead beholder? So, when they take the body down, it bursts open with dozens of tumorous little mini-beholderkin eyeballs? So that even if the...

    Return to the monster's lair: what would YOU do?

    Some additional thoughts: Rather than collapse the ceiling, which would likely cause more difficult terrain, make the undead difficult: 1) Toiva's Body - not just animated, but as a doppelganger, give it the ability to Leech Dailies from the PCs on a hit (target Will - the horror of being...

    D&D 4E Running player commentary on PCat's 4E Campaign - Heroic tier (finished)

    Now now, you just need to show it who's boss. It's like the swearing parrot joke. Just put that die in the freezer for a little while, and it'll understand what happens to those polyhedrals who slide down the bell curve.

    Here's hoping that comes through, it's always good to get those interest rates kicked down. Good luck!
