This is a good idea. On The Bone-Box Rattler http://planescape.deviceforthesoul.com/bbrattler/index.php I posted an idea a while go asking what would happen if a Moigno (living, physical manifestations of mathematical equations from Planes of Law) used power from the Far Realm to "cheat" and...

You've got a lot of deep roleplaying going on in your game, if this is is not a troll. I think you might have hit the nail on the head when you mentioned feelings of guilt and responsibility on the part of Armbuster. It sounds like Armbuster feels really guilty, perhaps to the point of self...

There's a few possibilities of further exploration posed here. I should point you to Malhavoc Press's (Monte Cook's D20 company) Beyond Countless Doorways for inspirations on different planes of exploration. It details another flying ship and its crew that are special in that they have the...

Ironically, I could see development of the monk class as a reaction to the extensive presence of clerics, gods, and dependence on divine magic. What if the monk adopted the philosophy of human beings being the pinnacle of creation through reason and philosophy as a reaction to an older...

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Green Ronin's Book of Fiends, a good treatise on devils/demons/daemons and, to a lesser degree, the lower planes, mostly a monster book but has some other intesting things like an alternate origin for the demons/tanar'ri as well as a corruptive/Seven Sins...

Hello. I plan on starting a plot arc in my Forgotten Realms game where Amaunator the ancient god of suns/law comes back to life. Does anybody have any ideas? I figure his ressurection would affect Lathander in some special way, considering their (potentially) special connection. One of the...

As you probably know, Beyond Countless Doorways has numerous plot hooks and adventure seeds for the many planes it details. The Sleeping God's Soul could be a demiplane or put on the Outlands or Mechanus; it has many NPCs to draft an adventure from. The Sundered Star already has a plot and...

One option for more powerful monster races is to go the monster racial class route from Savage Species, which has class writeups for minotaurs, centaurs, satyrs and gorgons (listed as medusae).

How much information is included on the Aztecs (or their fantasy equivalents)? Also, is a southern New World continent mentioned? Does this book assume normal D&D magic levels?

It seems like your party is fighter heavy. A swarm (especially Diminutive size because they are immune to weapon damage) is paticularly bad news for fighters, unless the druid thought to prepare Gust of Wind or a similar spell, or if they have invested in alchemists fires. However, sicking a...

A person that is attacked by an invisible (via Invisibility or Improved Invisibility) is denied their dex bonus if they don't have Uncanny Dodge or can't see invisible things. Similarly, IIRC blink enables an attacker to deny the target's Dex bonus

On the Ancient Egyptian side of things, didn't Green Ronin put out an Egyptian-like fantasy boxed set, Hamanaptra (sp?)?

What all sourcebooks are allowed. I have a good idea for the living incarnate of the Shadow Weave using the Living Spell template from Eberron.

How much of a description does Chessenta get? How specific does the history of Myth Drannor get; what does the book describe as the source of its fall? How well is the connection between Amaunator and Lathander explored? Does the Sunmaster have to be good? What are the new magic items...

the various Freeport modules. An excellent blend of fantasy, swashbuckling action, and Cthuluesquece goodness rarely found in other series. The adventures incoporated both site and event style bits. The city iself has a great deal of color to it as well.

As far as Speak with Dead goes, the spell description says it needs a "mostly intact" corpse. "A damaged corpse may be able to to give partial answers or partially correct answers, but it must have at least a mouth in order to speak at all." If you wanted to completely cut this spell off you...

Antiheroes, not villains Personally, I would find a villains campaign with ruthless, mercenary, random slaughtering to be quite pointless and dull. However, running an *anti-hero* campaign to me is a different story, if the characters have some sort of intrinsic motivation to stay together or...

My favorite RPG accessory dealing with spirits and shamanism was the 2E accessory/classbook called Shaman. It had 3 varieties of shaman- the tribal shaman, the hermetic/solitary shaman, and the spiritualist shaman, who exploits spirits in an urban setting. It had a system where the shaman made...

I would imagine than in either extreme law or chaos societies could not exist successfully unless the society's populace had some unique defining characteristic (like a telepathic hive mind for formians). Chaotic societies might work best as small family groups or villages where there is less...

There was an issue set in the FR Dalelands area (IIRC, MistleDale) where the Zhents were trying to provoke fighting between elves and humans by wreaking havoc and disguising themselves as elves. I think it was for 8th level characters. Does anybody remember what issue it was in? Also, does...
