Definitely deserved to be bumped. Thanks to Jabberwocky and Orbital Freak for their research. The shifter in my group is finding a bunch of ideas. But it brought up a few questions. Per Masters of the Wild, pg 69, Greater Wild Shape - items dropped instantly revert to their original size...

It's straightforward and overall I like most of suggestions/interpretations. Two items spring to mind at this point: 1) Under Demands of Service, if a spellcaster refused to make any demands for the day I'd still force the charisma check under the basis that choosing 'not to choose' is still a...

just my two coppers... Overall I think the suggestion of minor magics for use in everyday life is a good idea. And has been done in some part by existing spells. Continual Flame would be my answer here Unseen Servant, Mage Hand, Minor Creation, Major Creation, Telekinesis, and Summon...

That would be cool. I just bought my copy today and while I like the book overall, it was bewildering and a bit of disappointing not to have the map - even if I won't be using most of the countries. So far I like the rest of the book though and I'm thinking where to place Manifest and...

Heh. My players would disagree about the easyness of the module; and I'm only a passable DM. So far there's been one death before the CRM and two very violent deaths within the CRM. There have also been two full retreats that could have gotten very ugly otherwise. For tips, tricks, errata...

Looks good. Doesn't Shomei have an armband from Jorval now though? Not sure if it's been described though.

Busted The next morning the Count’s visitors took their leave of Parlfray Keep and made the journey back to Thurmaster. The trip was uneventful and passed quickly, with the group reaching the sleepy little hamlet just after highsun. Once back in Thurmaster the five companions bid goodbye to...

Page 102 of the DMG. Tougher Monsters In essence: a 50% increase in HD raises the CR by +1. Doubling the HD raises it by +2. The Monster Manual II has a better example in their side bar. The example in the Monster Manual says the CR doesn't raise, but by doubling the experience points gained...

On the matter of Gods On the matters of the gods there are many that are known and respected throughout the Shtaran Empire. First and foremost of course is Latina, patroness of the Empire itself. Next would be Sarath, her general, and then Moran (the Lord of the Afterlife), Niela (Lady of...

Just a quick update on some things I forgot to mention in the last couple posts. By this point Jallarzi now has her familiar. A black cat that she picked up in Milbourne before they took the barge captain up on his offer. She named her cat Sarah and the two have done quite well together...

Here's a thought I was thinking while I was preparing the next post. I try not to do that very often, but there you go. One of the things I wanted to do with this story hour was to provide information to other DM's who might be running the Night Below adventure. However my posting has slowed...

Yep. Mostin did visit the Far Realms, albeit briefly. Shortly after he scribed Gate into his spellbook. I believe a second brief visit was also chronicled - but I'm not sure. hmmm. Time to reread again.

True. The point I was trying to make is that it takes too long for this PrC to get the feat. A fighter could get improved critical at 8th. This class gets it at 13th at the earliest (Charcter Level that is. 6th ftr + 7 lvls of the PrC. As far as I can calculate at least). But like I said...

Overall I like it. Just four quibbles. 1) The special requirement seems a little weak. I know roll playing requirements shouldn't necessarily be used, but I would suggest in addition to owning a pair of Shadow Claw bracers that a requirement be for the person to either swear an oath to join...

Rafting on the Churnett A few days past Midsummer – a little over a month since the group met It was raining. That’s all it had been doing for the last three days since the flat-bottom river barge had left Milbourne. Captain Peresten looked at the skies and cursed yet again while he pulled...

Nope. Epic level advancement for BAB and saves has a specific rate, regardless of class. +1 per 2 levels, though they are offset from each other. I have some problems with that line - but it's only envy. :D I like it. It's simple. It gives Lombard some options to play with. And of...

Oops I really shouldn't post this late, especially since I have already forgotten about the BAB and save progressions going epic. But what the heck. I mostly agree with the 8 skill points being a lot. It certainly doesn't fit where Eadric has been. Or even where he sees himself going in...

I'm probably biased here... Like tleilaxu I'd have to recommend a look at Savage Species. In particular they have a suggested advancement rate for both Astral Devas and Ghaele's. The both cover 20 levels of advancement - though I'd consider tightening that up a bit as the Deva has only 12hd...

Ranged Harm spells? Huh. Did your DM rule-0 that? Or is something else going on? I'm aware of a feat that would let you give Harm a 30 foot reach. For what it is worth it sounds like you guys are playing reasonably smart. Do you know the names of any of the bad guys? Did you recover any...

A second vote for Night Below. But you'll want to decide how to run it. The conversions are great (thanks to everyone who did the work), but ultimately didn't completely work out for me. If you want a fun time though, keep treasure and monsters as-is in the module (using 3e equivalents) and...
