Thanks, everyone. I found this on the Vaults of Pandius site that covers the events of the Wrath of the Immortals: I imagine there would be some controversy about the high-tech stuff in Mystara too. A nuclear reactor from a crashed space ship that the Immortals are fighting over might be too...

I own most BECMI adventures and was thinking of hunting down the Wrath of the Immortals boxed set. Can someone please tell me the basic events that happen in it? Also, why has it divided the Mystara community? All I know is that it has something to do with Blackmoor (as presented in modules...

This seems highly restrictive to the cleric. Imagine a high priest of Orcus who could only cast up to 4th level spells - and those 4th level spells had to be granted to him in the presence of Orcus himself! 3rd level spells could get to him but a succubus would have to gate in to personally...

So in 3E, a cleric could not be a priest of, say, Orcus without taking the Thrall to Demon feat?

Yes, Eberron is unique as a cleric can stray from the tenants of his god but still get access to divine spells. For example, a cleric of a Good god could become corrupt and evil but still get divine spells. I think the cleric still needs to "believe" he is serving the god, however - even though...

How does Golarion distinguish between archfiends and gods? Are their relative power levels the same? Or are gods much more powerful? Does Golarion have different power levels for gods: demigod/lesser/greater etc? Would the spells granted by Golarion's archfiends come from them directly or are...

I like the sound of this but how do you explain arcane magic? How did mortals learn the language of arcane magic and the rituals involved to cast arcane spells? Did the gods teach them also?

This poses the question of why worship the gods in the first place? The gods of Krynn are fickle and cause so much strife - just look at the world's history. :) Krynn survived perfectly well for nearly 40 years without the gods during the Age of Mortals. The people discovered divine magic...

Yes, I remember that rule! I think it went something like: All clerics can cast spells of 1st & 2nd level from faith alone (no prayer necessary). Spells of 3rd level and higher, however, need to be prayed for and are granted to the cleric by the deity. Demigods grant spells up to 5th level...

I know Lolth used to be called the Demon Queen of Spiders. I can believe 1E Deities & Demigods would say the archfiends are equivalent in power to lesser gods because, back in 1E, the power level of gods (in terms of game stats) was on par with the fiends from memory. I think it was only in 3E...

Ah, yes, I thought 3E did something like this. Worshippers draw on the divine power of the lower planes through the fiend as if the demon/devil/daemon lord were a kind of magic focus.

This makes me wonder, do gods even grant divine spells to their worshippers? Or do their worshippers just worship ideals related to them? I'm pretty sure in older editions of the game (1E and 2E anyway), gods directly granted divine spells. Could divine magic exist in a universe without gods...

Do Demon Lords and the Dukes of Hell grant spells to worshippers in the same way gods do? And if so, why aren't they divine? I understand that in default D&D you can just worship "Goodness" or "Evil". Would worshipping a Demon Lord/Duke of Hell be a similar thing - with the demon/devil being a...

Is there a basic outline map of the entire globe of Golarion in the campaign setting? (Like in the Greyhawk Gazetteer where there is a fold-out map of the Flanaess then down in the bottom corner there is a small outline of the entire globe of Oerth.)

Thanks for that! I found it on the Candlekeep site and downloaded it :)

I'm looking for a map of Neverwinter - a Forgotten Realm's city on the Sword Coast. Is there any FR book that has a map of the city? Thank you

Very interesting. So it is as I thought, Orcus's death takes place on the side lines. I really wonder what the design goal to kill him and replace him with Kiaransalee was? It's interesting to hear the H-series is so bad. Is it just H4 that is bad or are all of them terrible? I understand the...

All I know about Orcus's death is that he was slain by Kiaransalee, the drow goddess of undead. But in which D&D product is this event first outlined? Was there a novel line that told this story or series of modules detailing the event? I know the Planescape adventure Dead Gods involves the...

I'm still playing 3E and I was thinking of running the free downloadable Dungeon adventure "Touch of Madness" on WotC's website. This is part 1 in the Tear of Ioun trilogy. Unfortunately, the follow-up adventures, "Depths of Madness" (part 2) and "Brink of Madness" (part 3) were only released as...

I'd allow a character to do this but it would mean Wizards and such who probably don't have high Gather Info ranks (being a cross-class skill) would be less capable library researchers than, say, a street-smart rogue with lots of ranks in Gather Info.
