Short Answer: It's almost certainly something they changed; she's also the *only* wyrmspeaker that appears with mask. Rationalization Answer: Her death is the trigger for the mask's transport - her body is the fuel for the magic. BTW: I haven't forgotten. Devilish Influences will be up...

Well, now I know which things to put up on DMs Guild first... :D. I'll re-post them when I get home tonight.

I make a distinction in my mind between HouseRules-that-override and HouseRules-that-add, I *always call the former houserules, but I vary on the latter - custom rules is the current favorite. Examples of the latter: Additional feats that give my characters some new options (a Whip Master feat...

Heh. The easiest solution in the old days would be to have the cult attack the party in the place where they're sleeping, while they're sleeping. Especially if you've established the area as "safe", so they aren't posting watches. This of course, gets you casters without spells, etc. In 5e, the...

In my world, the "hobbits" live in the Shires of Acune. Their official name was Acuna. With the subraces of H'acuna, S'acuna, and T'acuna. Basically, I named their nation, then named them. Do it right, and it all flows together.

7. Don't use scry. Actually, what you want sounds more like Divination or Legend Lore. But I don't recall what changes 5e made to them, if any, and I don't have my books in front of me.

In an effort to give you other options that just "Savage Worlds" (which is a very good choice)... At the Rules Light end of things, I'd recommend Numenera. It's so simple that you can (as the GM) run it on an almost improv level. It's ... post-post-post-...-post-apocalyptic clarkeian-tech...

Nowadays, at the not helpful level, I use FG. However, before that, my "binder" was a collection of web pages. Each adventure had up to 6 sections; Table of Contents; Map; Encounters (the actual room description, treasure, monster lists, etc); Combat Stats for the monsters. Frequently, there...

My vote's always been for Perfect Experience Roleplaying System - Otherworld Nations Adventuring League, by the OTRPG company. Nothing else has ever compared.

I basically only use the quick stats method. In this case, since the traps are objects, I basically take their damage and cut that CR in half, then fudge it based on detection and disabling DCs. Having just transformed the DMG traps into creatures for use in FG, most of them end up with a CR of...

Just finished detailing my expansion of Devilish Demands from Rise of Tiamat: Party: 6 characters, ~level 8 Duration: <1 session Opposition: (assuming they fight everything) Advanced Bone Devil (CR 11), 4x Veteran (CR 3), 2x Cultist (CR 1/8), Cult Fanatic (CR 2); 10500 XP 1 Trap (CR 3); 700 XP...

Up thread, I posted how I plan to handle the final battle. If you use FG, you'll probably find this useful: http://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?26949-Rise-of-Tiamat-a-more-climatic-end-battle Here are the critical sections for the battle: Breaking the Ritual What the...

Yet another point where the rules changes got the writers in trouble. Your 8 hour speed estimate (which represents 48 hours of straight flying) works out to a move speed of 125. I'm pretty sure that's faster than any dragon in the game in 5e. (Of course, in 5e, dragons are getting out-flown by...

That. This is also why I arranged for "degrees of success" in the Dragon Council. Get the dragons just barely on the Alliance's side - they're there for the battle, but not much more. A more solid result (like what the adventure assumes), as above. Knock it out of the park? The dragons are...

Naerytar isn't your big problem. It's the hunting lodge, Parnast, and Skyreach. As written the module assumes the party quick follows after Rezmir and company as they flee via portal to the Lodge. Since your party's adding at least 5 days round trip, what are Rezmir, Talis, and Company doing in...

I've posted the complete Thayan replacement arc over in the "Enhancing Rise of Tiamat" thread. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?394129-Enhancing-quot-Rise-of-Tiamat-quot-%28Practical-stuff-to-try-at-your-table!%29/page7&p=6863793&viewfull=1#post6863793

Replacing the Mission to Thay In the interest of keeping my RoT posts in one place, I'm just posting this here. I'll place links in the other places. Earlier I placed a complete tansformation of my work on the Jotunmoot. It was more work than I thought it'd be to translate it over, and frankly...

I can't speak to d20 Modern - Urban Fantasy, as I haven't played or GM'd it. I *can* speak to d20 Future (the D20M variant you'd be using). :rant::mad:RUN AWAY! It isn't often that I'll say anything like this, but d20 Future *fails* at replicating *any* of the popular sci-fi novels, tv...

Time passes... a new campaign (Bob-less) is started. You run into Bob and wife on the street, he asks how the game's going. Your answer "Pretty well; I'm afraid we don't have any slots open, though." If you're put into a situation where Bob overhears you inviting a new player: "I'm sorry Bob...

Here's the portion dealing with the Thayan Exile in Waterdeep: The wizard in Waterdeep is known as the Wizard of the Red-Feathered Hood. He makes his living as an information broker and investigator. He also has the reputation of being extremely ... cautious ... *cough*paranoid*cough* in...
