Indicating the dead horses, Tor comments again on sandstorms being potentially lethal. "Let's get out of here while we can. I know we're all sore, but I don't fancy a trek across this dessert on foot. I'd like a lot of miles behind us when the duration expires." (We leave, journeying onward.)

Elf Running: 7+2+7+2=18 squares/6 seconds 900 ft/minute 54,000 Ft/Hour Roughly 10 mph Dwarf Running: 5+2+5+2=14 squares/6 seconds Roughly 8 miles per hour I'm OK with those numbers. I think you've just got to consider that basic combat speed is allready pretty fast.

Ironwolf will draw his Falchion, keeping the weapon readilly at hand. He will also manifest Danger Sense for 8 pp, giving him Uncanny Dodge and bonuses against traps for the next 9 hours. He has 33 of 41 pp remaining. "I'm not attacking those Elves, and I'd like to leave as soon as we can...

Defend the phantom steeds by giving them as much shelter as possible. Tor will also summon a few mounts to provide the phantoms with additional shelter.

Perhaps we need a roll call of who is still around?

I voted "Yes, and I'm a DM" but I'm a player too.

Banion nods his thanks and slips into the shadows.

Is the crystal within the 1 mile range that allows communication?

I've always liked the Sidhe of mythology. Most recently, I've enjoyed their depiction in Jim Butcher's "the Dresden files" books. I'm seriously considering a Fey Pact Eladrin Warlock in the service of one of the Lords of the Feywild. If their is mechanical support for it (Seelie Champion...

I'm thinking easier DMing will just edge out new and different characters for the win. I always enjoy new character options, but the game I'm DMing for my Saturday group is at 13th level, and the monster stat blocks are just awful. The CRs seem pretty unreliable, too.

I'm underwhelmed by the three powers posted, but I'm not ready to say I don't like the class as a whole. All of them were daily powers, too, limiting the preview even further. A very uninformative preview, IMO.

I like what I've seen so much I'm having trouble imagining a dealkiller. I feel like I have a pretty good feeling for the flavor of the rules and how the game will play, at this point. Maybe it would be a deal-killer if their weren't enough powers to choose from, or it the powers were wildly...

As it's the weekend, I had time to look through my PC for the file in question. Turns out the drow in question were planar drow. Looks like I did this back in '04, and as much as I'd like to I haven't had time to do much similar recently, at least not in as much detail. Here it is in case...

ooc: I believe that caused him to spend several rounds vainly trying to get within range of an enemy while fighting on the Astral Plane.

Ironwolf nods and tries to stifle his grin.

Point to you. I didn't spend much effort on the variant names, I admit. "Spider Priestess" was the only name I really liked, and even that I have reservations towards, as it would probably need to be "Scorpion Priestess" on Eberron. :)

Worth noting (and slightly confusing) the +1/2 level doesn't seem to apply to damage... so it's not universal. If you have an 18 strength and are level 10, for example, your strength attack v. AC for 1d6+str damage would appear to be +9 v. AC for 1d6+4 damage. At least, I think it is. ;)

I like tweaking monsters when I have the time, hence the pages of drow, orcs, and githyanki I mentioned in the original post. On the other hand, I like the monster manual to help me out when I don't have the time. If my adventurers cast plane shift unexpectedly and travel to the astral plane...

Welcome! Perhaps it would help to mention that it seems likely everyone gets a "utility" power at level 2, and probably at an unknown frequency after that. I think we saw a Tumble power in the Rogue write up, for example. Stone Shape might be a higher level utility power, for example.

Ironwolf produces a tight grin, imagining Ashnar usurping an older god's portfolio.
