:p But you're right, and I realized we were doing that. If you hadn't posted something in the main thread then I probably would have. Still, I think the coolest thing we've done is the blood-taint stuff. Perhaps we could create some general guidelines for worship? We also need those pillar...

That should actually be the Primal Oath (sepparated so that we can use Imperial Oath to refer to modern imperial masks.) I'll go back and edit my earlier posts, which I should have done earlier. Otherwise, that's a cool idea.

Alsixnivis I'll stat up Alsixnivis this weekend, when I have access to my draconomicon. :] We still haven't made those pillar feats, but statting up high CR monsters is so fun!

Instead of the kind of crappy Holy Avenger in the DMG, Conquers Twice's Holy Avenger should Geater Dispell whenever it hits something.

Contribution #6 In the north is an old dwarven sage by the name of Orgar who lives at the site of The Twelve. He is guarding them and making sure that what they contain does not escape. He claims the other creatures in the north are afraid to approach the twelve and thus do not bother them...

Kind of like having an entire region as a phylactery (equivalent)? That's pretty neet-o. That would be fine with me.

Issue to be resolved We need to resolve something: why aren't Conquers Twice and Vildaxaranthus conquering stuff? Handwaving away the powers of NPCs bothers me a lot. Either of these characters would have no trouble destroying an army with just their melee weapons (assuming we take the rules...

Right, sorry I didn't communicate that very well. The standard has to be with the legion for them to be in the aura, but what I meant was that the aura shouldn't be a 100' radius circle, but more amorphous. Does that make more sense?

That's basically what I was thinking. I think in the case of the standard, the aura should be less fixed - as long as the legion is around it, they get the benefit, even if they are spread out in a long line or something. I want it to do something cool with the standard bearers, as well, perhaps...

Contribution #5 On Eyros, worship is power. It is not the power of gods in other settings, but it's subtle effect is very important. Worship power usually manifests itself as an aura related to how the thing is worshipped. For instance, Vildaxaranthus has an aura of tyranny, and the worship...

I went back and numbered the stages; how about it's never possibile to lower your taint score if it would move you down a stage? This makes so people who have a reasonable amount of down-time can't draw on the blood powers a bunch and just burn off the taint later.

Removing the Taint To remove a point of taint, a creature may spend an entire lunar month meditating in an untainted pristine wilderness area. During this time the creature may not adventure, manufacture magical items, or cast spells of a level greater than 0. At the end of the month the...

Sounds good to me. I think Rystil Arden and I were just trying to fit it into the setting without breaking anything. In fact, we think it's so cool that we immediately started making rules for it in the rules thread. Your bit about the spritis of the land driving the druids to kill was also...

Do you mean ill feelings even beyond what he's grumbling aloud? Or is the time being 4am getting to you? :p The edit function conquers all!

Blood-Blessed Template The blood-blessed template is a template which can be applied to any creature which can be summoned or wildshaped into. It is normally added by druids casting or wildshaping on blood-blessed ground. Descriptors: Blood-blessed creatures gain the [evil] descriptor if they...

Combination This works great - I've got the low-level stuff, and you've provided the feats to enhance it. Casting a bloodsoaked or greater bloodsoaked spell automatically increases the caster's taint score by one, in addition to the save. We might want to extend the table so the effects...

Whenever a druid summons a creature on blood-sacred ground, he may choose to apply the blood-blessed template. If a druid wildshapes while on blood-sacred, he may do the same to his assumed form. Whenever a druid casts a summoning spell or wildshapes on blood-sacred ground, he must make a will...

Dark Druids What should we do with the dark druids mentioned by hero4hire? This setting has room for some cool mechanics I think. Perhaps druidic spells cast on sacred (which is to say, blood-soaked) ground gain some sort of template (ala Arcana Unearthed; if you don't have that, then just a...

Sounds good, I was just wondering if you had something specific in mind. Well, the dark druids can still be somewhat rare. They probably try to stay hidden, so people still think druids are very rare, when they are just mostly rare. It's kind of cool having the majority of druids be evil. What...

I was going to ramble on, but it would have just been a long way of saying, "I completely agree." :p Looks good
