A World Bereft of Song First, the death of Ippizicus. Then – the rippling. *** The once-man cocked his head to one side. Was the planar tempest abating? He listened, his heart beginning to beat more rapidly with each passing moment, as the sound of the storm’s fury lessened. He returns...

Tonight - finally. This latest update was written, then tossed, then written, ad nauseum. If I go "on record" by posting that I'll have it done tonight, that'll force me over the proverbial hump and make it happen. I hope. I'll let Vath's player know. He's a packrat, so you may just have...

I'll give it a shot. Again, most of the information folks seem to want concerns the characters' stats, and - as far as I know - those are lost beneath numerous erasings and pencil marks. As we progress down the story hour lane, we should be able to throw up PC stats - eventually. I did take a...

Of Demons and Discourtesy “Beneath that snow is a whole lot o’ ugly, that’s for damned sure.” Baden eyed the snow-covered corpse of the wyvern at his feet. His companions gathered around him, their mood one of reflection. “By rights,” Kellus breathed, “we should be dead.” “At the least, I...

Old Acquaintances Revisited Baden waited for Poridel’s guardsman to close the door before tossing a large leather sack onto the table in front of the Tower Sage. It landed with a meaty report. Poridel stared at the unopened bag for some time before looking up to regard each member of the...

Any ideas? The below question is from one of my players: [/b]

Could a Maixmize actually Minimize variable effects that the caster would want to be low, instead of high? Plane Shift, for example, has a 5d100 mile shunt - could a Maximized Plane Shift grant only a 5 mile shunt?

Thanks. I have to use the SRD here at work - easier to hide than a PHB. :) D

I agree. He agrees. So there's no debate. But, Hong, if you're still here, the SRD states: Is a Dispel Magic, wherein one guy is rolling against a set DC, considered an "opposed roll"? Same player, different question: Thoughts on this one? Thanks, D

From one of my players:

Detect Scrying states: "You immediately become aware of any attempt to observe you by means of a divination (scrying) spell or effect." Discern Location states: "Nothing short of a mind blank or the direct intervention of a deity keeps you from learning the exact location of a single...

I echo frostrune's response - the party completely annihilated the poor demon. It was a very good lesson for me, as DM, to realize just how much of a difference it can make when the characters know when and where combat is going to occur. I know some of you probably didn't like the way I ended...

A Soul-Stirring Story Moments after John had announced the title of his tale, a squall swept eastward across the Conomora, trailing sheets of rain in its gray wake. Were Kellus a reader of portents, he might categorize the sudden storm as a harbinger of things to come. As it was, however, the...

I'm thinking of gathering some half-troll buddies, heading to Pogre's, and raiding his collection of awesome models and mini's. They're simply top notch. Pogie, you should have a vending booth at GenCon, brother. D

great stuff, kluge! curious as to how you added those gridlines - they look great. mine always seem to, well, stink. cheers, d

Luke's First Laugh In the end, the rain had made their decision an easy one. The morning after…the morning after they had faced Ippizicus Child-Eater, the black-fleeced heavens opened with a vengeance. A deluge lasting three days had settled upon central Valusia, turning the Battlemarch into...

I did just that. Sent an email last night to Piratecat and, unfortunately, he let me know that he's gonna have to shut this thread down. I'm kidding. PC's response was as quick as it was kind. Good idea - done. Thanks for the support. And, as always, thanks for reading. D

AuraSeer - I like your ruling. I think I'm gonna adopt it. Thanks!

Wizard casts magic jar and his life force immediately enters the jar. After that occurs, but prior to the wizard's life force returning to his own body, what are his body's saving throw modifiers? In other words - wiz MJ's into the gem, then an enemy subsequently casts Disintegrate against the...
