Hmm, yeah. Thanks for the tip about the drow fire-resistant armor - I was a bit curious as to how other people's players got around that nasty 1 fire damage per minute thingy.

Jim, thanks for the feedback - I will definitely be thinking about upping the SR. The players have nearly cleaned out almost all of the fiendish creatures that are in the region as it stands, though - they've taken out the darkmantle lair and the stirge lair, and just have some rat swarms and...

Status update on my group - they have a veritable army. They managed to ally with the kobolds (and ended up finding/rescuing two more from the orcs, bringing the total kobold numbers up to seven, plus the krenshar makes eight) and the lizardfolk, meaning that the 4 PC's are travelling with 11...

You could always go with "As you pick up the item, the sounds you hear quiet, and the lights seem to dim expectantly." Atmosphere. If the PCs just don't get it (very likely - those tests are vague) then you could have the character 'get a feeling' of what needs to be done as he/she/it picks up...

So, simple question, and yet I didn't find anything on this in my readthroughs of the PHB. With a rogue using TWF, is sneak attack damage counted for each hit? (As in, rogue catches enemy flatfooted, hits with both attacks - do you add sneak attack damage to both or only once?)

That'd be very helpful, thanks - I've been wondering about that one for quite a while, as the reference to them in later rooms' text seems to portray them as challenging trials.

The way I interpreted them is that they're fiendish - they want to kill more warm meat and all that. Same with the stirges in that region.

And how about melee-attacking into a grapple? Any penalties there for the attacker? (Yes, I know that the defender loses his/her Dex bonus to AC.)

He may have meant 'antagonist.'

Okay, so here's my question. A player of mine threw a character concept at me a little while ago, for use if his current character bites the dust in the WLD game I'm running, and I wanted to get opinions on it, as it's a bit unorthodox. A bit of backgroud first... The group is made up nearly...

This is an excellent idea. If it's set up beforehand, I'm all for it. I just disagreed with it being used without any lead-in.

It is better planned out, agreed, and could be useful for plot purposes. I will give it that. :) But still... whisking the PCs away when they're about to die, unless there's a perfectly valid reason (plot, again), just smacks of GM trickery to me - my players would murder me if I tried something...

I apologize for hijacking the thread, and will take it to email after this, but did want to say one thing. I may have sounded too harsh in my earlier post - I actually do recommend The Hero Snare as a premade adventure if you want to make your players really, really hate kobolds. :) It's a good...

My problem with things like that is that I don't like saving the PCs by deus ex machina, if that's how it's being used. :\

I actually ran that adventure for a group of adventurers. Sadly, they tore it to pieces, both inside and outside of the game. I will also point out respectfully that there are several things borked about this adventure - namely accompanying DCs or the lack thereof to certain traps. The adventure...

Rust monsters. Definitely. :)

When I reread this thread, that was one of the things I was looking for. I don't recall finding it, sadly, although it was mentioned a few times. :(

Updates on a few things. There are now a total of three blogs/journals for my group - unfortunately, one is mine, and so is locked so that one group doesn't see another's adventures and so on. In any case, the other two blogs are: http://wldsiriusrogue.blogspot.com/...

I run in 1 hour. :] The first darkmantle encounter scared them enough as it was. This is going to be fun.

Perfect, in fact. Thank you very much! :)
