This is a cheap, doctored image of a feratu demon. They're notorious for their ability to mask their true forms with illusions. Feratu aren't tough in a stand-up fight; they prefer to work harm on unsuspecting parties with deceit and trickery. This particular cutey was first spotted, in its...

Author's Note: This story hour explores some decidedly mature themes. The following posts recount the exploits of a group of characters played by a handful of thirtysomething players. This is a "low fantasy" campaign, rife with moral ambiguities. I want to entertain, not offend. If I...

I'm not sure I agree. But I'm also not sure I disagree. In the SRD, it states: It seems fairly clear to me that, if they intended Harm to be incapable of killing an opponent outright, they would (should?) have worded it thusly: I'm inclined to think the intent was to not allow Harm to kill...

Senor Doggy, I must admit - it felt dang good to be rolling dice again. As frostrune mentioned over in the Rogues Gallery, it was a fatal session for two PC's. One always must look before they leap when using teleport, eh? Especially if the whole party can't make it on the same trip. The...

Hello my little chupacabras! We, as a community, seem to lurk and post and debate and opine about D&D to our hearts' content. These boards are filled with rules questions, story hours, D&D trivia, custom monsters, new spells, etc. I was wondering, in light of this, how often do we play? I...

Ah, but it is. The SRD does say, and I quote - "No Dexterity Bonus" beneath the consequences for grappling. But as AuraSeer mentioned, this appears to only be a heading and not a specific rule. FWIW, I agree with your judgement on the rules and that a grappled creature may still use his Dex...

From the SRD: The SRD, as quoted, states "No Dexterity Bonus". Yet the accompanying text only discusses Dexterity bonuses to AC. Question: Can a grappling creature utilize his Dexterity for other things - Weapon Finesse, Reflex saves, etc.?

No kidding. Had to laugh when I read this post. Truth is - I'm not quite sure what it's gonna be called. The Valus, probably. Not too terribly creative, huh? Hmm...they happened within the same week in the game world, and they all happened in between the same two group sessions in the real...

I also wanted to chime in - seriously appreciate your effort and time, Phin. There's a lot of great stuff out there on the net for DM's, but rarely is there such great stuff that's also immediately useable. Thank you. D

I'm fairly certain this is addressed, but just when I think I know the answer, I get confused again. Question: Does the weakening effect of Blasphemy apply strength damage or apply a strength penalty? If it's damage, then multiple uses "stack" in that you can hit an opponent with a couple...

No problem at all. In fact, I think it's pretty cool. I own Midnight (er, the book anyway) and am really impressed with the world and the theme.

A request: If any of you cats who wander over to this thread happen to have pre-built NPC's (CR8 - CR15), especially spellcasters, or even custom built monsters within that CR range, I'd love to see 'em. I could post them here or collect them all and post them elsewhere, if you'd like. I'd...

Hi everyone, Contrary to its title, the previous update marks the end of this thread. I thank each and every single one of you for reading, for posting, for joining the Olgotha Brothers in their quest. I hope to get around to starting another thread on these boards. The campaign, as recorded...

The Beginning Baden eyed the small hole in the mountainside as one might eye a deadly viper. It was as wide as his shoulders – if but barely - and pierced the mountainside about ten paces above the narrow trail. The scent of the Deepingdelve wafted outward – it smelled of stale air, of mines...

Yep - it's a portion of the central Valus, or the middle part of the island. I'm not sure. At the earliest - probably three months from now. But, really, I don't know. Sorry. Yes - I plan to attend. :) D

This isn't an update, obviously, but it is something. :) Most of the action thus far takes place in a relatively confined area in the central Valus. Legend: [1] - The group traveled eastward along the Battlemarch to summon Ippizicus in a ruined temple on the banks of the Bluehorn (not...

There are no royalty fees so long as he killed or seriously wounded a PC or two. I miss ol' Ippi - might have to bring him back for a showdown on his native plane. Hmm... I fell off my chair when Darklone first posted on this thread a couple days ago. And now Horacio shows up from the...
